LONDON May 10, 2012 (AP)If this king thing doesn't work out, Prince Charles may be able to fall back on a budding career as a weather man.

The heir to the British throne and his wife Camilla gave it a try Thursday, each reading out weather reports during a visit to BBC studios in Glasgow, Scotland.

The sight of the nattily dressed Charles giving a credible performance in the unfamiliar role caused many Britons to do a double-take as he read the lunchtime news weather spot.

Palace officials say Charles and Camilla were visiting the studios to mark the 60-year anniversary of BBC TV Scotland.

@Irishk,

Well, why not? President Clinton played the saxaphone for Jay Leno on the Tonight Show. Nixon appeared on Laugh-in.

@Irishk,

when I heard it earlier, it reminded me of the running gag of the housekeeper who loved to announce the weather over the channel on As Time Goes By

he did a fine job - obviously didn't take himself too seriously but didn't mess up the actual report

@ehBeth,

I seem to be one of the few people on earth who sort of likes Charles. Not a royalty fan, but I don't just hate him. We have the occasional similar interest and, no doubt, many dissimilar.
