I'm probably missing a few!

The "poo-pooing" DTY is referring to would be in reference to those who wear tartans to which they have no connection. While some/most have no problem with this, in certain parts of the Highlands eyebrows can--and are-raised when people wear a tartan to which they have no connection!
I figured he usually wore a tartan of some association as you stated, but not being familiar with the PoW's honourifics nor the associated tartans, I had to ask. Would "Lord of the Isles" be an official honourific or just a technicality?

It just occurred to me: wasn't his grandmother from Scotland? Does anyone know what her maiden name would have been (and its associated tartan)? For that matter, now that I think on it more, what is the Royal family's surname- Windsor??? I don't know if I've ever really thought about that? Curious...
