Prince Charles-an exemplar.

As Prince Charles served in the Royal Armed Forces, I strongly suspect that he knows quite well how to use that sgain dubh.

Thank you for such great input on this topic. You gentlemen have inspired me to search the Internet for pics of Prince Charles kilted and put them in a reference file.

Not sure if any of the ideas his dressers have for him will be appropriate for the dust and sand of the canyonlands, but never know.

Thanks Paul,

Not an easy task as I'd thought. Did find a lot of good ones by searching the Prince's own website http://www.princeofwales.gov.uk/index.html

That is where I found many of the pictures...

I've gained new respect for Prince Charles.. After looking at all the pics of him, I can now see he is a real man... Smiling Anf laughing.. It's a good thing.

I think Prince Charles looks very smart in the Balmoral kilt and Camilla complements him well in wearing the same tartan. However he does not wear the kilt all that often and doesn't always wear the kilt even for his Scottish engagements. At the garden party which I attended at Holyrood Palace a few years ago the invitations specified kilts as optional for men and indeed around half of those present were wearing kilts, yet both Prince Charles who hosted the party and Prince William who was also present were wearing grey trouser suits for the occasion.

Oh that the Prince's dresser(s) would write a book on wearing the kilt. Would no doubt sell well.

Would like to know who makes up his kilts and jackets, where he buys his kilt hose and other accessories....and that pig-sticker thing in his sox....

Ron, employees within the Royal households are not permitted to write books whilst in service. Several renegades have written their memoirs after leaving service, but their books could not be published in the United Kingdom. I have a couple that were published in the USA, and subsequently smuggled into this country!! The situation might be a little different nowadays regarding the antics of retired emplyees, but they certainly may not publish whilst still in service.

I believe you'll find that most of HRH's Highland Dress items, certainly his kilts, are tailored by Kinloch Anderson of Leith. They are Appointed kilt makers to several senior members of our Royal Family, and are permitted to display the appropriate Arms in recognition of this.
