Britain’s Prince Charles has joked he wishes a disastrous interview he did 40 years ago were tomorrow so that he could cancel it.
The 65-year-old royal has poked fun in a sketch mocking the excruciating appearance he made on Australian television with interviewer Molly Meldrum in 1977.
Speaking in the affectionate video, the Prince of Wales says: "There is an old show business saying, ‘Never work with animals or children’. But no one prepared me for Molly Meldrum."
The heir to the throne adds: "Was it really 40 years ago? It only seems like yesterday. I wish it were tomorrow – I’d cancel it."
Molly Meldrum is an Australian musician and celebrity who presented music show ‘Countdown’ – which is currently celebrating anniversary – and Prince Charles agreed to film a segment as part of a documentary about the programme.
Archive footage shows Molly stutter over his words as he struggles to compose himself in front of the then-young Prince, who questions whether the presenter has a teleprompter to help him.
Molly simple replied saying, ‘No’, before muttering rude words as he repeatedly gets his lines wrong.
