When it comes to celebrating Mother's Day, it turns out the British royal family is just as inept as everyone else.  

That, at least, is the joke at the heart of a new U.K. ad from cosmetics company The Body Shop. Impersonators playing Prince Charles; his wife, Camilla; his son Prince Harry; and Queen Elizabeth II's famous Welsh Corgis all fumble their way, together, through the prep for Her Majesty's big day.

That means mangling the wrapping on the presents and burning the toast, among other misfortunes—Prince Harry and the Union Jack make a joint cameo, but are least invested in the proceedings.
