# Reserved Royal Weathermen The Prince Charles BBC Video Shows His Highness Reading the Forecast By Josh Triantafilou | Published 2012-05-14 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prince-charles References: [blameitonthevoices](http://www.blameitonthevoices.com/2012/05/prince-charles-weatherman.html) & [youtube](http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=54FKp4Ib4Kk) The Prince Charles [BBC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roblox-3) video shows His Royal Highness moonlighted as a weatherman. The heir apparent to the British Throne and successor of Queen Elizabeth as head of state of the Commonwealth Realms, including Canada and Australia, actually did a rather spot-on job. It was quite amusing to see such a figure as the Prince of Wales describe something so ordinary as the weather, proving that all households, from the most humble apartment to the storied [House of Windsor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purple-rain-house), have some things in common. As his forecast went on there were a few inevitable fumbles; however, the Prince regained his usual royal poise and continued splendidly. Unfortunately though, the weather he forcasted was a tad droll. Scottish weather tends to be that way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.6/10 - Popularity: 10% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Royal Branding:** Opportunity for companies to collaborate with the royal family for branding and marketing purposes. - **Social Media Virality:** The power of unexpected and entertaining content featuring prominent figures to go viral on social media platforms. - **Authenticity Marketing:** Consumers are drawn to authentic and relatable content, creating opportunities for brands to engage with their audience by showcasing genuine personalities. ### Who This Affects Most - **Entertainment:** Entertainment industry can leverage unexpected collaborations with public figures to create buzz and attract audience attention. - **Tourism:** Opportunity to promote destinations associated with the royal family, attracting tourists interested in experiencing the connection to royalty. - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can explore partnerships with the royal family, capitalizing on their iconic style and influence on trends. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Regal Birthday-Commemorating Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-charles-iii-1.md) - [Crowned Monarchy Minted Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-charles-iii.md) - [Celebratory Coronation Housewares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kings-coronation-products.md) - [Regal Seasonal Solace Films](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mother-nature-summer-film.md) - [Illustrated Weather Forecasting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cartoon-weather.md) - [Royal Garden-Inspired Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-3.md) - [Luxe King-Honoring Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coronation-cake.md) - [King-Honoring Cookie Tins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/king-charles-iii-coronation-tins.md) - [Royalty-Themed Tea Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crown-afternoon-tea.md)
