Prince Charles as a weather forecaster!

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of BBC Scotland, Prince Charles along with his wife Camilla Parker Bowles have visited the broadcaster's (=nadawcy) headquarters (=siedzibę). The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall had a go at (=spróbowali swoich sił) reading the weather forecast! Against a background (=tło) of the BBC's weather map, the royals delivered a specially-prepared script (=scenariusz) which included several references (=odniesienia) to royal residences in Scotland. The Duke of Rothesay presented the report with a great sense of humor, saying for example: "Who the hell wrote this script?" and "Thank God it isn't a bank holiday (=święto państwowe)". The visit was part of the annual Holyrood Week - an event the aim of which (=którego celem jest) is to celebrate Scottish culture, achievement (=osiągnięcia) and history. 
I invite you to watch Prince Charles' and the Duchess of Cornwall's appearance (=występ; pojawienie się) in front of BBC cameras:
