Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her 96th birthday.
Her Majesty was seen visiting her horses at her Sandringham estate, where her birthday celebration occurred.
Elizabeth is expected to spend the day at the estate’s Wood Farm cottage, a place she has made her own since Philip’s untimely death in April 2021.
Some members of the royal family were among the first to post well-wishes to the Queen online.
“Wishing Her Majesty The Queen a very happy 96th birthday today,” read a post from Prince William and Duchess Kate’s, calling William’s grandmother “an inspiration to so many across the UK, the Commonwealth and the world, it’s particularly special to be celebrating in this #PlatinumJubilee year.”
Another post from Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla’s read: “Wishing Her Majesty The Queen a particularly special 96th birthday today, as we celebrate her Platinum Jubilee year.”
A picture of then-Princess Elizabeth at age 2 was shared on the royal family’s official social media accounts.
The post read “Then, in 1928, it was never expected she would be Queen, and this year Her Majesty is celebrating her #PlatinumJubilee – a first in British history.”
