Okay
Britain's prince to introduce Camilla to Americans (AP)
Prince Charles will introduce his new wife Camilla to the American people when they arrive in the United States next week but observers doubt she can ever replace the late Diana in their hearts.
Royal aides on Friday played down media speculation the heir to throne will use the eight-day tour -- the middle aged royal couple's first formal overseas visit -- as a bid to gain further acceptance for his bride of seven months.
Memories still linger of Charles' 1985 trip as a young man across the Atlantic, when his first wife, Princess Diana, stole the show and captivated Americans with her glitz and glamour.
Really?

Prince Charles was a young man in 1985?
Wow.
Much as I want to believe that 37 is young...

And I as an American should give a rat's patootie because?
Let us consider:
In the UK, the royalty is a figurehead and has no power.
America threw off any submission to royalty almost 230 years ago.
so other than the fact that the UK monarchy is sucking a decent fraction of one percent of the country's GDP away for it's own care and feeding, what the royals do impact the rest of the world not one iota.
