Why does the Queen have two birthdays? Actually, it's more the Monarch rather than the current Queen. The idea goes back to George II, whose birthday was in November. It was felt that his birthday should be a time for public celebration, and as November can be cold and wet, he instigated an "official" birthday in June. It's not a fixed date - it takes place on the second Saturday in the month.
