BBC news anchor Sally Magnusson announced, “I’m delighted to say we’ve got a new member of our weather team, let me hand over to him now. Your Highness?”

The royal opened the weather presentation saying, “It’s an unsettled picture as we head towards the end of the week. This afternoon it’ll be cold, wet and windy across most of Scotland.”

The prince continued to read the script which included a comedic references to royal residences in Scotland and in the middle of the reading the written lines, he added, “Who the hell wrote this script?”

Looking directly to the camera, he told viewers, ”The best of the bright and dry weather will of course be in the northern isles and the far north of the mainland. So, a little hazy sunshine for the Castle of Mey in Caithness. But a cold day everywhere with temperatures of just 8C and a brisk northerly wind. Thank God it isn’t a bank holiday!”

The Royal’s visit has been a hot topic in various social media channels and many people were amazed by Prince Charles attempt saying: “Prince Charles did a decent job actually”, “only the british royal family would do this! gotta love them!” and “I’ve always enjoyed his sense of humor.”

The prince and dutchess stayed for an hour and a half in BBC Scotland Studio to celebrate with the news organization’s 60th anniversary.

    It is good to see that the royal family has a sense of humor and a fun side. Perhaps they are going out of their way to not seem so stiff and maybe their publicists are making a concerted effort to make it seem like the royal family does not take themselves too seriously. I think it is a way for them to reach out to the people in order to gain the public’s favor.

  • Monica says:

    Wow this was great it shows that they aren’t such stuffed shirts anyway. I didn’t really think they were in the first place because I have seen the Queen caught on tape doing some pretty funny stuff so I knew they had to all have a sense of humor. Wouldn’t you like to be a fly on the wall in some of these people’s houses? Them and movie stars I think.

  • Alexander says:

    Was the Duchess supposed to say anything in the video because the picture showed her but she never said anything in the video? I really thought this was done in great taste, it shows that the Prince is a good hearted man and does have a sense of humor. I think that so many people don’t think that the royal family have that sense of humor so this was really good.

  • Charles says:

    Thank you for posting this it was very entertaining and I enjoyed it over my lunch break. I will share this with my friends because I know they will enjoy it a well. I was born and raised in Scotland so it was good to see them do that for my home town. I am sure that they were well received by some very lovely people.

  • Bernard says:

    I don’t know much about the Royalty in England but they seem like very personable people. I did watch the wedding this last year of his son and it was very beautiful the princess is a beautiful woman as well as a beautiful person. This article was done in great fun I am sure and the Prince definitely to it in stride. Thank you for the post and I look forward to more from you.

  • Gary says:

    I saw this story all over television the other day. What I don’t quite understand is why they did this. Is it some sort of a publicity stunt? And who cares really that royalty decided to do the weather. Why is this even a news story? Yet there it was, headlining all of the evening news shows that day as well as the entertainment news shows. That bloke actually did a decent job of it.

  • Sharron says:

    This article was done in great fun I’m sure and the Prince definitely took it in stride. He is kind of cute for an older guy and when he got tickled by what they wrote that was funny. I am glad that you posted this because it shows a lighthearted side to the royal family. Thank you for the post and I look forward to more.

  • Jackie says:

    People think the Royal Family are such snobs and they never joke around and things like that because they have strict policies for public appearances and they have the royal guards at the palace and things but they are just like everyone else. Yes they have restrictions and policies and guidelines to follow because they live under such high standards and traditions in England.

  • Norris says:

    You know I have seen satires of the Royal family on Saturday Night Live and other things before where they do nothing but make fun of them for being stuck up. But you never hear them say anything about it and you never see them get angry about it. This goes to show you that I bet they are some really fun people.

  • Lindsay says:

    I thought this was great fun, you can tell that the Prince was having fun as well. I hope that the Duchess wasn’t supposed to say anything because he took the entire forecast didn’t he? Like I said this was fun, this shows a whole other side to the Royal family and their no nonsense attitude. Everyone has to lighten up a little sometimes.

  • Troy says:

    This story of Prince Charles weather forecast has swept the globe. I mean, it’s been on every television news show that I watch regularly throughout the week. Everyone had fun with it. As we all know by now, the prince turned his hand to weather presenting along with his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, at the BBC headquarters in Glasgow. This video of the weather forecast has now been viewed hundreds of thousands of times.

  • Barbara says:

    I would like to know how everyone reacted when they first saw Prince Charles’s weather forecast: did you cringe? Of course, everyone has heard how Prince Charles turned his hand to weather forecasting yesterday, while on a visit to BBC Scotland studios. You may think the future king pulled it off. But perhaps his performance had you hiding behind the sofa? Tell me if it did. I thought it was a staged joke in the name of fun.

  • George says:

    I would like to have seen the Duchess do something as well but seeing the prince do that was very cool. You often think of these people as being untouchable but really they are all just people like us. You put together a terrific blog here and the video was great. Keep up the good work not many people see this side of them.

  • Margo says:

    The people in England are all considered stuffed shirts anyway so I think that this goes to show that they do have a lighter side, if the Prince can do something like this and he is Royalty then surely it is ok to let your hair down if you are just a commoner in England right? This was great and very entertaining to boot. Thank you so much for posting this.

  • Joan says:

    I would like to see the Queen do something like this, I have seen some news coverage and things where she is doing stuff that can be construed as funny when no one is supposed to be looking so I think she would do a great job. Thank you for posting this I was having a bad day and that helped. I hope you post more lighter side stuff in the future.

  • Julio says:

    Well he didn’t skip a beat did he? That was great it goes to show you that he is just human, he isn’t the perfect person that doesn’t make mistakes. None of the Royal family are and it is a shame that they have been put up on this pedestal because of who they are. This was a great article and view into another world for me.

  • Roger says:

    This was great thank you I needed a laugh today. I know it wasn’t supposed to be funny but the fact that he would do this anyway made it kind of funny. Thanks again.

  • Richard says:

    I was watching your video and that was actually very funny. I like how the person that wrote the script threw in some stuff to try and crack him up or try and make him stumble, but that didn’t work did it? This was very cool and I appreciate the fact that you took the time to post it.

  • Sonja says:

    This was very interesting for such a stuff tea time kind of guy. It would have been even funnier if it would have been during tea time and they had to stop and have tea. I think this showed that the Royal family are just people too there is nothing special about them except they were born into some line of royalty from way back when.

  • Anthony says:

    I think the Royals over there should have a show where they do the news including sports and things. They no more about what is going on over there than the average person does don’t they because they rule over everyone? I think that would be very interesting and it would get them out in the public eye more often.

  • Rocky says:

    Why do they still have Queens, Princes and Duchess’ in the first place? Why aren’t they ruled by a president as well instead of Royalty like it was a knight’s tale? I find it interesting and all that but still it is curious as well. You have done an excellent job with this article and the video was great, really entertaining thanks for sharing it with us.

  • Brandi says:

    That was really good he didn’t skip a beat, even when they purposely tried to throw him off with what they wrote. That was great it goes to show you that he is just human, he isn’t the perfect person that doesn’t make mistakes. This has given all of us a glimpse into another world through the TV. I never would have thought of all people he would do the weather.
