Many Happy Returns of the Day, Your Majesty!

God save H.M. the Queen, who is 94 today. This, I imagine, is the strangest of her 94 birthdays.

No guns were fired to mark the day on the instructions of Her Majesty, because of the epidemic ravaging her country.
When she was born 94 years ago the telegram informing him was given to her father in a silver box on a tray, while he was playing golf. He shared the news with his companion who congratulated him and they finished their game.

Then she was only Heir Presumptive, not Heir Apparent, because her Uncle David, the future King Edward VIII, was expected to marry and have children. Now she is the oldest British monarch. 

Queen Victoria, the second oldest, died at 81 having lived five days longer than King George III.

The Prince of the Wales, if he ascends the throne will be the oldest monarch to do so. He is the second oldest heir to the throne after the Electress Sophia of Hanover, who died, aged 83, after running to escape a shower of rain, a few weeks before her distant cousin Queen Anne.

Here is some film of the Queen as a little girl, playing with her younger sister Princess Margaret Rose, released today to celebrate the monarch turning 94. As a little girl, although only Heir Presumptive, received a huge amount of attention from the press because the Heir Apparent, her (somewhat wicked) uncle, Edward, Prince of Wales was unmarried.

The Daily Mail says

The clips - sure to help boost the country's mood during the coronavirus pandemic - show Elizabeth playing with a pram as a toddler, on a seesaw and playing in a garden and dancing on a yacht with Margaret.
