Australians celebrate the king’s birthday (previously known as the queen’s birthday) with a public holiday (and long weekend) on monday, the 10th of june, 2024. Hundreds of australians have been named in the 2024 king's birthday honours list.
The moveable feast that has been known as the queen’s birthday in australia is now known as the king’s birthday since the death of queen elizabeth ii and the subsequent change in the monarchy. King charles’ accession to the british throne has meant a name change for the holiday celebrating the monarch’s birthday and most australians are about to enjoy the king’s birthday long weekend.
