Prince William may well end a tradition that is also a privilege when he succeeds his father Charles III as king.
Series The Crown may relate to the British royal family, it does not deliver all the secrets of its members. Did you know, for example, why the birthday of Elizabeth II was celebrated twice a year ? In reality, she had decided to follow a tradition initiated by her ancestor Edward VII, who reigned from 1901 to 1910. The latter, born in November, regretted not being able to organize an outdoor party because of the low outside temperatures. The monarch had therefore decided to celebrate the day of his birth a second time in the month of June, as the birds sang and the sun warmed the bodies. His successor, George V, was born in June, and had therefore celebrated his birthday during the summer.
As for George VI, the father of Elizabeth II, he was born in December, during the Christmas period. He therefore decided to reintroduce tradition, followed by her daughter Lilibeth, who was born in April. Given that King Charles IIII was born on November 14, there’s a good chance he too will celebrate his birthday twice. Nevertheless, Prince William, followed by his son Prince George, should put an end to this tradition.

Why Prince William might be the one to end the tradition
When Prince William, the first heir to the throne, succeeds his father King Charles III, he may put an end to tradition. Indeed, the latter was born in the month of June, which is perfect for sunny celebrations. We imagine that his son, Prince George, will do the same, because he was born July 22, 2013. It is therefore possible that the tradition will disappear for several decades.
