Cancel or post-pone some actual holiday because their kings/queens have done something else. It's hardly Microsoft's fault. And this would not be mentioned in news if it wasn't USA or UK Kingdom.

And why cannot you or Americans just enjoy having some nice food with your friends and family? Sit down, have a few beers and a nice chat while you're cooking. This is why I like Asia more - people can actually socialize and dinner is always done together.
