    Prince Charles

    I saw a brief clip on the news about Charles on his honeymoon in Scotland, walking into church for the morning service, he looked fine in his kilt. I couldn't make out the tartan, it was dark and he wore black hose I think.

    I didn't see the picture, but he wears the Stewart Hunting sett fairly often, so maybe it was that.

    Thanks for the link. The tartan is the Old Stewart sett. You can see it at http://www.tartansauthority.com/web/...=By+Tartan+No.

    In case anyone wonders about Camilla's outfit, (I think) it's in the Rothesay District tartan, which I'm sure she selected because in her new rôle she's styled HRH The Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland.

    The tartan is also known as Hunting Johnston and can be seen at http://www.tartansauthority.com/web/...=By+Tartan+No.

    I was sure I saw two versions of his kilt walking into church that morning. Still with the way the media rehashes and manipulates footage...one never knows!

    Little do they know that a dedicated band of kiltwatchers are onto them!!
