There’s no doubt about it: Queen Elizabeth’s eldest son (and heir to the throne) has that enviable ability to make just about anyone giggle.
And seeing as it’s the Prince of Wales’ 68 birthday today, we’re celebrating by turning back the clock and looking back on all the times he made us laugh.
“As long as I do not take myself too seriously I should not be too badly off!” Prince Charles says.
Well, whether he’s taking over the role of weather man for the nightly BBC Scotland segment, or dancing up a storm with locals on a tour in Mexico, the chipper royal certainty knows how to bring light to any situation.
“If I hear rhythmic music, I just want to get up and dance!” he once mused of his boogieing abilities in a 2013 interview with The Australian Women’s Weekly.
“I think given half a chance though, the old one-two and the two-step can come in handy,” he said, adding: “I’m glad to say that both my sons have inherited it, I think. They’re very good. They do make me laugh when they get going!”
With his array of silly faces and a ‘can-do’ attitude, Prince William and Prince Harry no doubt grew up laughing at their dad too.
