I am mystified by the #kingsbirthday
For some arcane reason #Australia still celebrates. Except some states don't.
Amongst those that do #WA celebrates it a week earlier than #QLD for some reason. In September and October respectively.
And King Charles' real birthday is in November.
Time to drop it and have #beachday or #Uggbootday or something else we can all agree on, OK?

Now that we have the Matariki public holiday to enliven early winter, the need for a holiday to relieve the late winter drudge has become even more evident.
I therefore move that we shift King's Birthday to late August.Furthermore, I propose that KB receive the Hot British Dinner mantle so often and so uncomfortably worn by Christmas. Roast meat for the omnivores, a roast veg extravaganza for the vegetarians & vegans, Yorkshire pud and gravy for everyone, with a sweet and stodgy pudding to follow, possibly brandied and on fire for added good cheer.
August KB traditions could also include log fires, mulled drinks, and - in honour of the King's ecological interests - the planting of a tree*, the browsing of a garden catalogue, or suchlike horticultural activity.
*part of my secret campaign to reforest the calendar by making Plant A Tree part of marking every holiday and occasion. Have a baby? Plant a tree on the placenta. Get married? Plant a double-grafted tree. Die? Have a tree planted on your grave. Te Aranga, Matariki, Labour Day, win the lottery, get a great job, ditch a bad job, or vote an unpopular government out of office? That's right - trees.

i'm sympathetic to the idea of republic, but experience has shown that if you don't have a king, sooner or later some asshole will come along and take a credible shot at becoming one

Huh, so the American "No Kings Day" is happening on the same day as the Commonwealth's "Kings Official Summer Birthday".
Strange coincidence.
I think there should be no kings and no king's birthday celebrations FWIW. Power passed down the genetic line like a mutation is ridiculous, and anyway no power should be concentrated in one person like that in the first place.
Have a happy holiday, whichever you are celebrating/protesting.

I can't think of a better place to be either @maudenificent
But we do keep proving Donald Horne's comment that Australia is a lucky country ruled by mediocrities (or words to the effect). 🙄

*The Monarchy is a Joke
*Morrison’s a joke — in very poor taste
*Awards are a joke
*putting all these elements together — australia is a jokebecause we are what we value — as individuals or as a nation
i’m happy that at least some people got a long weekend out of all this. that’s something to value, right?

King's Birthday Weekend in Australia.
Don't forget to doff your caps, tug your forelock, and praise the lord, that our rightful liege and master does honour his subjects with a day of rest and celebration.

Some chill for your long weekend this #KingsBirthday. May I present Beautiful Wifey with “Believe” by Cher, but slower. 😉

I’ll end homelessness by having several castles, owning half of London & not paying tax when I’m king !! This is my pledge to the British people - And if that doesn’t work I will plunder more jewels and art from the entire world.

Honours, a special birthday gift

Wave children, wave at the scum you were bred to rule over, this is your legacy, your domain. Mummy and daddy bred you just for this moment and to keep it in the family, wave your little hearts out, wave until you drop or uncle Andrew will visit #bbc #tory #tories #news #Labour #labourparty #BorisJohnson #toryscum #ToriesOut #ToryCorruption #politics #ukpolitics #EU #covid #COVID19 #CovidInquiry #boris #Sunak #rishisunak #notmyking #royals #KingCharles #troopingthecolour #kingsbirthday

Seeing this stuff in light of recent royal upheaval and debate makes me think of the contrast with royal other European monarchies. For example, #koningsdag, the King's birthday in the Netherlands, where, instead of fossilised military parades and flypasts with the only members of the public present being royal fans and tourists, the activities are people-focused and aimed at giving people a fun day of activities.

Look upon your tiny overlords and fall to you knees in worship you peasants - admire their mini handcrafted suits, their trumpian red ties (except the girl one, she doesn’t count) and their coach worth more than your house.

Unlike King Charles, I actually DO have a birthday today 👑🎂 #kingsbirthday #birthday

So wait. Whether we swore allegiance to the new wearer-of-many-jewels or not we have the Monarch's Birthday tomorrow, which isn't his or even his late mother's real birthday. Nor is is even on the same date each year, being the second Saturday each June. Presumably some past monarch never wanted the celebration to clash with church day - which us Australians know as Bunnings Day 😆
Enjoy your holiday tomorrow y'all

As someone who is considered a "subject" of the current British #monarch, and as someone who thinks that said monarch is a nebbishy putz (and worse), I suggest that we re-name the current proximate holiday (#KingsBirthday) to something more appropriate, like "Jackass Day". Who's with me?

The King was born on November 14. What nonsense it is that we have a holiday for his Birthday on the second Monday of June.
I would rather see the "King's Birthday" replaced by an Australia-wide holiday celebrating our First Nations people.

Happy first official #KingsBirthday!
During a visit to New Zealand in 1953, Queen Elizabeth was gifted 'Tui', a P-Class yacht by the talented David Marks of Auckland.
The intention was to pass on the vessel to a young King Charles, suggesting he might like to learn to sail. #museums #KingCharlesIII #yachts #sailing

(It was of course during the reign of a later George than the one portrayed in the previous post, George VI, when the New Zealand observance of "Kings Birthday Weekend" was moved to it's present location in the calendar.)

Hear ye, hear ye people of New Zealand.
The King of England has graciously given you peasants a day off from the grind to frolic and what not.
Remember to be grateful for his majesty's mercy and may his royal highness count on your vote for the.. oops, sorry. God save the King. #KingsBirthday -
