Americans and Royaltly

Last night I was out in York for intro drinks for the people studying at the Centre for Medieval Studies, and this was said to me:

American student- "Your royal wedding was huge over in the States, but can I just say, we Americans don't approve of Prince Charles, can't you have William next?"

Now call me Mr Suspicious, but surely you forfeited your right to have a say in the matter some time ago?!
