We shouldn't allow little considerations like the weather to affect decisions regarding celebrations singlemalt!  
Next year Her Majesty will beat Victoria's record and that might create the need to reconsider the issue.

We get a long weekend out of Victoria Day. Somehow the Elizabeth Day long weekend doesn't have the same ring.

In principal I agree with you McClef however in Canada the weather is never "a little consideration". It dominates most conversation and at times it's whimsy rules our daily life and activities.

The specialists will be along presently to verify, but I'm not sure that "Her Royal Majesty" actually exists as a title/name/rank/salutation? The lady is Her Majesty and Her Majesty is Royal but I would be surprised if they were ever supposed to be said at the same time?

It sounds a bit strange to my ear also. I'm used to either "Her Majesty" or "Her Royal Highness".
Pet peeve: When people here refer to her as the "Queen of England". While she is that, she is also "the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" and more importantly for my purposes here, she is "the Queen of Canada" and that is her official title on these shores.
She has lots of titles, realms, dominions etc... I just think Canadians should know her official title here.

Nathan, it is my belief that the title Her Royal Highness is not applicable to the Queen. Her Majesty is the only correct title. I believe the title Royal Highness was determined by the 1917 Letters Patent made by King George V

You are correct BCAC that the sovereign is His or Her Majesty and other Royals may be HRH. The only other person to get the HM title is a Queen matrimonial, eg. HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. In Scotland (prior to the Union of 1707) the title of the monarch was His or Her Grace the King or Queen of Scots, much like the honorific used when referring to a non-Royal Duke or Duchess.

Internationally the title His or Her Britannic Majesty may still be used - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britannic_Majesty
She can also be Her Most Excellent Majesty when it comes to the enacting of Parliamentary Bills http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_Excellent_Majesty
There are or were quite a few other words used with Majesty for Monarchs of other countries.
