The Body Shop is connecting up with Mothering Sunday in the UK with an advertising campaign focused on the royal family. A spoof video, featuring lookalikes for The Queen, Prince Charles, Camilla, Princes William and Harry, and the royal corgis, shows what breakfast could be like for Her Royal Highness on Mothering Sunday. Alison Jackson, well known for her royal look-alike photography, directs the film which presents Prince William behind the camera. Charles and Camilla give the dogs a bath, prepare toast and eggs and present Ma’am with a card (Keep Calm and Reign On) and Body Shop lotion. The message: “Treat your mum like a queen this Mother’s Day”.

“We set out with The Body Shop to embrace the spirit of Mother’s Day. Of celebrating the thoughtful, little things that make all mums feel like queens. And then we asked ourselves, how does the most queenly Queen celebrate that morning? Probably the same way,” explained Laura Jordan Bambach, creative partner at Mr. President, in a statement. “Those same little touches still mean a lot. Through our collaboration with Alison Jackson we’ve brought to life a most special morning, for a most special mum.”
