How is it funny? The BBC history time line doesn't claim to be a complete, concise history of every event in British history. I also don't see a mention of the shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes in 2005 either. Or I didn't Nor the Munich air disaster nor a million other events that British people have been involved in.
You're right, the Royal Family has no interest in controlling or influencing what happens in the USA. The King just gave up after 1776. It's just mere coincidence that so many of our Presidents and candidates are descended from royalty. The Royals are just tourist attractions with no real actual power - isn't that what they tell you dumbed-down Brits to believe?
So you just wanted to make a baseless statement then move on?I'm a cynic about stuff people say on the internet then refuse to back up. I'll be a lot less cynical when you provide me with your source.

I'm very uninterested in helping a cynic in his quest out of nationalist propaganda.

I like your version of the World better. We are still the superpower, a colonial master, ruler of the New World. Rule Britainia!
