Sunday 11 September 2022 09:43 AM 'Charles in Charge!' Americans pay tribute to new King with parody of 1980s US ... trends now
The US has paid tribute to Britain's new King with an online parody of 1980s American sitcom Charles in Charge.
The tongue-in-cheek video includes clips of King Charles III and other royal family members in the style of the show's opening sequence.
The credit 'starring King Charles III' appears, followed by laughing clips of Queen consort Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and finally Prince George.
The theme song Charles In Charge, performed by Shandi Sinnamon, plays in the background.
The 126-episode sitcom, starring Scott Baio, aired from 1984 to 1990 but is little known to UK audiences. It followed the ups and downs of a young college student who boards with a family and babysits their three children while their parents are at work.
Twitter reacted with hilarity when footage appeared online.
