As we've seen time and again, holiday's sports, celebrities, and entertainment dominate the conversation. In this case, entertainers, celebrities, and, of course, Prince Charles and Kate Middleton dominated the conversation in all markets. Sporting events and figures primarily remained in their countries of interest. For example, in the U.S. and Canada, there was a good bit of chatter about the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs and the individual teams competing, while in the U.K., Manchester City and mixed martial artist, Connor McGregor was widely discussed, especially among younger and middle-aged men.
