I would presume that only the Royal kilt makers would be able to obtain a supply of the tartan to begin with.
I also presume that the film makers were able to get permission in order for the tartan to be depicted in the film.
The tartan was also used in the TV series Edward and Mrs Simpson when it was worn in several scenes by Edward Fox who was playing Edward VIII.
I wonder if there is a set of rules/guidelines somewhere about who may apply for and gain permission and who makes the decision on the Queen's behalf as she never replies to letters personally. Was the refusal signed by a Lady in Waiting Arlen?
