Prince Charles funny while reading weather live on BBC

The Prince joked that with all the rain its a good thing it isn't a bank holiday

People tuning in to see BBC Scotland's lunchtime weather forecast Thursday probably weren't expecting to see it delivered by Prince Charles.

They also probably weren't expecting the first in line to the throne to be funny.

The 63-year-old royal showed no signs of nervousness as he predicted a cold, wet and windy day for most of Scotland.

It started out serious with the Prince looking at the camera and motioning his hand at the board behind him. Then he made a joke about drier interludes over Dumfries House, an 18th century royal residence and everyone in the studio started laughing. After talking about flurries in one part he does a bit of ad-lib saying "who the hell wrote this script?"

After describing the miserable weather for most of the country, he made people feel better for being at work saying, "Thank God it isn't a bank holiday."

BBC presenter Sophie Raworth called the moment "priceless" over Twitter. "Something I never thought I'd say - watch Prince Charles and Camilla have a got at being weather presenters," she tweeted before he went on air.

After the Prince's segment the real weatherman Nick Miller congratulated Charles on doing a good job and Raworth joked to Miller that he may have some competition, according to the Daily Mail.

Prince Charles and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, were at the Glasgow headquarters to celebrate its sixtieth year of broadcasting.

While Clarence House said Charles saw the weather board and just had to try it out, one YouTube commenter writes "he's fed up waiting to be king and is looking for new career tracks."
