Prince Charles visits New Orleans

[Bascule]

I'm intrigued by the US reaction to Prince Charles visiting New Orleans at the moment (I'm British).

Is this in the news over there?
Are people interested in what he has to say?
Does he influence the way you perceive the UK?

FWIW I think he's a flappy eared fool and have no interest in anything he does or says. I want the UK to become a republic when the Queen dies and he inherits the throne.

Mods - apologies if this is the wrong forum.
