Charles & Camilla

Charles & Camilla are currently touring NYC, DC, New Orleans and San Francisco.  Thing is, no one in the US cares.  Why are they doing this?  Is it truly an attempt to build goodwill and keep the UK/US bond close, or is it really a backhanded way to get the UK public to take C & C seriously (by making them out to be ambassadors)?  Truly, all the news reports I've seen basically say "Charles and Camilla are here and no one cares." 


So, why bother? Do C & C simply want a nice vacation (holiday)?  At least the weather is lovely, but really, I'd much rather be at a tropical beach somewhere than "paying tribute at Ground Zero" - even if they did unveil a plaque dedicated to the Britons who died.


(BTW - the New Yorker in me thinks that's a bad precedent.  Now every single nation should have a plaque memorializing their dead citizens, and I don't want a zillion plaques there.  I think it's unnecessary.)


Edited to add:  Lunch today at the White House.  I wouldn't mind lunch at the White House, but I'd really prefer a different WH host.  I bet the food is good, though.

No one in the UK cares whether anyone in the US cares or not.
