The Queen & Prince Philip It is customary for foreign dignitaries to give a gift to the queen when they visit - or on a special occasion (such as her silver, gold or diamond jubilee). A number of leaders have actually given Her Majesty animals throughout her reign - some of which she has had to place in the care of London zoo. These have included jaguars, beavers, sloths, giant turtles and an elephant. She has also been given a pair of cowboy boots, some pineapples and a box of snail shells. Despite that fact that the Queen’s actual birthday is on the 21 st of April, it is officially celebrated in June. The date chosen changes every year and is generally held on a Saturday so more people can join in the fun! The Queen is well known for her love of a breed of dog called the Corgi. Her Majesty has owned over 30 of these dogs and the first one was a present given to her as an 18 th birthday present. The dogs are exceptionally well cared for, and once a royal footman was demoted for giving one a tot of whisky! Incredibly, a security guard at the 1991 Royal Windsor Horse show didn’t recognise the Queen, and denied her entry to a VIP area. One assumes that she did get in eventually.
