Prince Charles has received a royal roasting by Australian breakfast show Today over his bizarre confession about running his vintage car on 'cheese and wine'.
The Prince of Wales spoke to the BBC about climate change on Monday, boasting how he'd converted his Aston Martin, which was gifted to him by Queen Elizabeth II on his 21st birthday, to run on 'surplus English white wine' and whey from cheese production.
The Today presenters couldn't help but mock the 72-year-old's seemingly out of touch sentiments on Tuesday, with co-host Allison Langdon sarcastically referring to Charles as 'a man of the people.'

'He's giving back to the environment,' co-host Karl Stefanovic dryly added.
Newsreader Alex Cullen, an outspoken republican, could barely hide his contempt for the royal environmentalist.
'He's relatable? Is that what you're going to try and tell me? With an Aston Martin that runs on wine and cheese? Pompous, privileged, peanuts!' he said.
