The heir to the thronetried his hand at delivering a weather forecast during a visit to BBC Scotland in Glasgow on Thursday. Speaking with a weather map in the background, he read aprepared script that highlighted the locations of several royal residences in Scotland.

But Charles didn't confine himself to reading the words that were written for him.When he spoke of "the potential for a few flurries over Balmoral", he ad-libbed: "Who the hell wrote this script?"
