Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her 90th birthday on April 21, and while England started the celebrations in the beginning of April, the Queen herself has gotten around to it now. Kensington Palace and British Monarchy have been sharing live updates on the Queen's celebrations starting with the huge crowd that has gathered in front of Windsor Castle.
The Queen has been getting an overwhelming amount of wishes on social media as well, and in response to the huge outpouring of love, she wished her fellow 90-year-olds. "I send my best wishes to those who are celebrating their 90th birthday...on this shared occasion, I send my warm congratulations to you," a tweet from British Monarchy read.
People who have camped overnight to get a glimpse of the queen and wish her in person got a chance to do so when she stepped outside Windsor Castle with the Duke of Edinburgh in a lime green dress and matching hat. After wishing the fans outside, she cut the beautiful three-tier cake baked by Nadiya Hussain, winner of the Great British Bake off 2015.
