- Victoria Day is a Canadian Tradition and doesn't actually exist in most of England. But it's celebrated in parts of Scotland, especially Edinburgh, where it remains an official holiday.
- While the holiday moves around a lot (falling this year on May 19th), the original rules stated it be annually celebrated on May 24th, regardless of what day that was, unless it was a Sunday- and then the observance would be moved to the 25th.
- Victoria Day is a legal Canadian stat, which means it's also observed in Quebec...Up until three years ago, it was called Fête de Dollard after Adam Dollard des Ormeaux a French hero who helped lead a force in what is now Montreal against the Iroquois in 1660.
In 2003, it was renamed National Patriots Day in Quebec, ignoring the Queen reference altogether. - When Victoria was just a little girl, she was known by her nickname, Drina.
- Despite being born in England, Victoria only spoke German up until the age of three.
