First of all, immigrants to the USA don't go to colonize the country, they go there in order to have a better life, to live together with the americans, to give and take, not to colonize the country!
I was raised in France, as my family was immigrant, and it was not easy, so I think it would be better that the Royal family concerned about the needs of immigrants rather than emphasizing the perspective of a Spanish-speaking population for 2050 of 100 million people in US.
