AHC: Make Americans not care about the Royals

It has always seemed funny to me that Americans care so much about the Royals. I'm constantly thinking "didn't we fight 2 wars so that we wouldn't have to care what they were doing". Then I think "then we fought 2 wars to save their behinds".

Anyway, your challance, if you choose to accept, is to make Americans not care whatsoever about the British Royals.

Either that, or make the women of British nobility have less weird hats.
 
Just have them lose the War of Independence, Americans love royalty because we don't have it. The second we got stuck with the bill for the monarchy we'd fight the war all over again.
 
Have people like Patrick Henry be less discredited in the USA, assuming you get a scenario where the American revolt isn't crushed.

This would be better in pre 1900, methinks.
 
Some kind of socialist revolution is the obvious route. A more left-wing US and a more right-wing Britain could achieve the same effect.

The US doesn't care about the Royals. In fact polling shows the Brits care more than we do. Something like 6% of Americans were interested in the wedding and those were disproportionately women, particularly older women.
So if you want closer to 0% perhaps don't have so many older women live as long.
And don't you believe what the media presents is what the average American actually wants to hear. Everyone I spoke with, besides my one grandmother of Scottish/English heritage, couldn't give two shits. I fully concur.
