Hello Rabble
Sorry it has taken me so long to send this thread.
Many thanks to all who replied to the last one - especially the expert from the STA. In order to resolve the problem as to whether my King Gearge VI is indeed a royal tartan, or a fake, or just a weaving mistake, I once again wrote to Buckingham Palace. It has taken 6 weeks for them to reply! (maybe HRH was busy decorating the nursery, having a birthday party and things?).
I sent photos, thread counts, much info received from these pages, and private replies etc.
The reply was that Buckingham Palace 'have no further comment to make' - ie the original descision 'that it would not be right for me to wear the kilt' still stands. The Palace also apologised for sending me a 'disappointing reply'.
So, as a British subject, living in England, I do not have Royal approval to wear it.
