I'm not saying that the American visitors were well-behaved or cared about anything of beauty.
But didn't the British government tell them where to land their helicopters? It's certainly not like they just flew up to the palace and said, "hey that looks like a good spot." And why wasn't there someone telling the TV people where to go?
I don't find it hard to believe that the Americans were not respectful of the place. But I do find it hard to believe that there wasn't a Brit there who's job it was to direct things...
