Alas, not quite true, Mark. I have indeed been to a Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace (I have been invited to three of them, actually!), but I did not wear the kilt to any of them. It was formal Morning Dress with a top hat each time. Those occasions were back in the 1980s - before I was wearing the kilt for anything other than Scottish Country and Highland Dancing!
I did, however, wear a white Utilikilt when paying an informal visit to Buckingham Palace in the searing heat of summer 2003:
I would NEVER wear a casual kilt (nor a casual anything else) to a formal event such as one of Her Majesty's garden parties!!
