America - Not Interested in Charles and Camilla

In fact, they're not remotely interested in them.

At least 81% of Americans are "not remotely interested" in the visit by Prince Charles and his new wife Camilla.

The Prince of Wales will introduce Camilla to the American public later but the crowds are by no means queuing to roll out the welcome mats.

The US media have largely ignored the impending Royal tour, writing off its itinerary as worthy and dull.

"It's the un-Diana tour, in which a couple of middle-aged, earnest eccentrics from the English countryside take an educational holiday abroad," declared the Miami Herald.

An article reprinted in several US newspapers advised Americans to "be nice".

A new poll revealed that 81% of Americans are not remotely interested in the newlyweds and less than one in five wants to meet them.


If Americans are not "remotely interested" in the pair and almost no one wants to meet them, why the advice to be nice?
