But I suppose that the truth gets lost in the "blame the American" rant.
Its not a case of blaming the American because she was an American, but a case of being an American (or a Dane or a Brazilian) she would not have had the same knowledge of British social rules, or the role and powers (or lack there of) of the British monarch or of the role Church of England as a British lady of that time.
Even today I hear American news commentators talking about Elizabeth II ruling as opposed to reigning and probably not understanding the difference.
