Prince Charles Gives Weather Forecasting A Try

Royalty doing weather forecasting, this is a new trend.

Prince Charles had a go at reading the weather during a tour of BBC Scotland's Pacific Quay headquarters.

He and his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, visited the broadcaster as a part of their annual Holyrood Week.

BBC newsreader Sally Magnusson handed over to Prince Charles, who read his version of Reporting Scotland's lunchtime weather.

The prince, also known as the Duke of Rothesay, had earlier met students at the City of Glasgow College.

Prince Charles Against a backdrop of the BBC's weather map, Prince Charles delivered a specially written script which included references to royal residences in Scotland.

Looking directly into the camera, he said: "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 duke and duchess spent more than an hour at BBC Scotland, which is celebrating 60 years of television broadcasting

I am most un-amused by this droll impertinence. Danea Carvey at least does a more amusing Prince of Charles the the genuine article does. As if the royals had the skills to even understand what the technical jargon they are repeating actually means. At least training a patriot to sing god save the queen has a more uncommon flavor, then pretentious ex-feudal aristocrats.

People with pretensions of superiority (or just carrying the titles of forbears who could be described this way) try to do the closest thing to real work they are capable of. Reading the weather forecast.
