Nell Nolan: ESU King’s Birthday<\/h2>\n

A Birthday Brunch\r\nMost of us get one birthday, our natal day. But His Majesty King Charles III can claim two (as did his mother, beloved Queen Elizabeth II, and their forebears). There\u2019s the actual one for Charles, Nov. 14, 1948, which may occur during inclement weather. To honor the day in better weather, June has been chosen, going back to 1748, to officially celebrate the monarch\u2019s birthday along with the Trooping the Colour parade.\r\n<\/h3>\n Read More<\/i><\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-817","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nIn the News -
