New Zealand has a similar fictitious "King's/Queen's Birthday" public
holiday, which is not far off -- first Monday in June.
Australia also has an official "Queen's Birthday" holiday, but the date
is different in different states. With no correlation with real
birthdays, as far as I can see.
I suppose we should now call it the King's Birthday, but we're not yet
used to the change of management.
