Neither nation speaks "proper" English for the simple reason that there is no such thing as proper English. While England and the US do have differences in dialect (actually, there are many dialects in each nation), one is not right or official while the other is wrong or a bastardization.
For example, although many people would consider Received Pronunciation (also known as the Queen's English) to be the most correct form, there is nothing inherently superior about it. Appalachian English, on the other hand, is often considered a dialect spoken by the uneducated. However, it is thought to be possibly the closest example we have today to how English was spoken during the time of Shakespeare.
Saying that one form or dialect of a language is the proper version while all others are inferior is something that, historically, has been used as justification for racism and Imperialism. The only real reason one dialect is considered superior to another is somewhat related to this fact: the dialects that are considered better or more proper are often those associated with those of a higher socioeconomic status. Even those dialects that many may consider to be ungrammatical (such as Ebonics or African American Vernacular), do in fact have their own grammatical rules that they follow. The dialect, like the difference between American English and British English, is simply different, not better or worse.
