During a tour of Australia in 1974, Prince Charles attended a service at a small parish church. The vicar was most apologetic about the low turn out of parishioners to the service and explained many people were away because it was a bank holiday. the Prince vented his irritation "Not another bank holiday, what is this one in honour of?" he asked with some noticeable sarcasm. "Well," the vicar replied with some embarrassment, "Over here, we call it the Queen's birthday."
