I consider the USA to be the rightful successor to George III, and the UK to be the rogue break-away state. Therefore, you're in a pub older than the UK, wrongly kept after The Glorious Revolution!
You know, there's an alternate history slightly plausible where the 1789 Constitutional Convention decided we needed a monarchy, not a republic.
I'm not sure how likely that would have seemed at the time, but if so, they might have crowned someone like say, George Washington as say, George IV of the United Kingdom of American States or some such. And then there might very well be something to your joke!
