King Charles has two birthdays - but William might only get one when he becomes monarch

King Charles is celebrating his 74th birthday today (November 14) but he'll also get another birthday just like the late Queen Elizabeth II, as a 250-year tradition is set to continue.

It's well known that the beloved Queen had two birthdays - her actual birth date was in April and her 'official' celebration, fell on the second Saturday in June.

King Charles will continue this tradition which dates back hundreds of years, but he's likely to have a second birthday in June from next year.
