April marks the Queen Elizabeth's birthday, but did you know that her majesty also has a second birthday? The public holiday marking the royal occasion takes place in June. But that's not all. It turns out there are a lot of facts that we never knew about Queen Elizabeth.
10. Queen Elizabeth never went to school: actually, her majesty was homeschooled with her sister Princess Margaret
9. She once sent a message to the moon: Ahead of the moon landing in 1967, the Queen, among other world leaders, wrote messages that would be taken to the moon. The messages are on a disk that lies just underneath the American Flag.
The Queen's message read:
On behalf of the British people I salute the skill and courage which have brought man to the moon. May this endeavour increase the knowledge and wellbeing of mankind.

6. Queen Elizabeth has been wearing the same nail polish since 1989: Even we can't deny that Essie's pink shade, Ballet Slipper is an unbeatable classic.
