No big backlash reported, just a quick fix by local crews. The visit ties into the 250th anniversary of America's Declaration of Independence from British rule, marking a symbolic nod to history. This stands as the highest profile outing of Charles' reign so far, aimed at boosting the US-UK alliance.
