The first King's Birthday was officially celebrated in 1748 for King George II

Today it is a public holiday that most Commonwealth nations officially celebrate, but does not correspond to the date of the current monarch's birthday. Each country today celebrates it on different dates, usually around the end of May, start of June.

It is observed as a public holiday in New Zealand. This year King's Birthday is Monday, 1st June, which means a 3 day weekend for a majority of New Zealanders.
