Remember back at school when you would arrive at PE class and realise you had forgotten your kit? Oh the shame of sometimes having to compete in your school kit, sometimes having to weed the lawn whilst everyone else played rounders or, worst of all, having to do homework.

Well the satellite-eared Prince Charles rocked up at the opening of a new sports centre in Scotland eager to tackle some of the activities on offer. He had, however, forgotten his gym gear. Rather than getting a stern talking to from an overweight and underpaid teacher he took it all in his stride. The Daily Mail reports:

He toured the hall, speaking to climbers on the wall and schoolchildren taking part in football, badminton and table tennis classes, before hopping on to an exercise bike during a class involving dozens of local women.

Ah, now that’s why he took time out of his busy schedule. Charles is rather popular in the area after helping save the estate from closure in 2007, leading a consortium of charities and heritage bodies to purchase the land.

I sincerely hope that Charles is having a serious talk with the woman in the above photo about that hairdo. Considering it’s a Scottish council estate he may also be lecturing her on the virtues of hard work and not living off taxpayers money, although I’m not sure he is qualified to talk about either.
