Queen Victoria was born on 24/05/1819. She celebrated a big jubilee on June 23 ("QUEEN VICTORIA'S JUBILEE. THE GREAT PROCESSION OF JUNE 23, 1897, IN THE QUEEN'S HONOR"). Maybe that was the anniversary of her corronation? Are you sure they call it the Queen's Birthday and not simply Victoria Day or something?
