Welcome to the next in an ongoing series of writing prompts in the Worldbuilding community !
I'm aiming to post one of these each Sunday (although I had a break last week, I was away on a short much-needed holiday !) They aren't a replacement for the excellent daily prompts from @worldbuilding they're just an extra opportunity if you have a writing itch you want to scratch. 😀

The prompt this week is - "The King's Birthday"
In your setting, how do rulers celebrate their birthdays or other key dates (anniversaries of their coronation or whatever) ? Do they hold grand military parades, formal state balls and galas, hand out medals and awards, throw gladiatorial games for the public ? Or are the rulers perhaps elected officials, who just go for a quiet meal with close friends and don't tell the general population about it at all, or limit themselves to posting a selfie on social media ?
Just to add a bit of spice to things, the two entries I most like (and are linked in comments, so I can find them !) that are posted by midnight (GMT) next Saturday will each get a prize of one Hive SBI.
This link will take you to the FAQ where you can read more about Hive SBI - it's a project I thoroughly support because it gives both the donor and winner a steady trickle of passive income paid out in the form of upvotes on posts.
Guidelines
I stole these guidelines straight from @worldbuilding prompts (I hope that's okay !), I couldn't have written them any better myself....
