When would the King of England have gotten word that the Declaration of Independence had been signed?

by sreubendav

How long would it have taken for word of the signing, or a copy of the document to make it to England at that time? Is it known what day our secession from the British Empire was officially acknowledged? Additionally, how was it received by the King? Thanks, and happy 4th!
