    Thanks for all the help. I was aware of the multiple titles, but just found the line a bit odd. Then again script writers are not know for historical accuracy even in historical dramas.

    Timely article about the celebration of Prince Charles becoming Prince of Wales.

    Buckingham Palace event marks Prince of Wales' 50 years

    From the article, “Prince Charles became Prince of Wales aged 9 in July 1958 and was formally invested with the title by the Queen in July 1969 at Caernarfon Castle.”
    Descendant of the Gillises and MacDonalds of North Morar.

Duke of Rothesay is also a restricted tartan that only the title holder may wear.
    Duke of Rothesay is not a restricted tartan.

    How does that work? In the Tartan Register, the Duke of Rothesay tartan is put in the "Royal" category (though there's a similar "District" tartan), but it doesn't list any restrictions.

    Does that make it a restricted tartan or not?

    There's also a Duke of Rothesay Hunting tartan, but it's listed as being in the "District" category, and no restrictions are listed.
    This just highlights what a mess a lot of the records are and the fact that they need to be reviewed and revised.

    At that date it should not have been either, both Princes Albert and Alfred wore the Balmoral tartan. Only Prince Albert seems to have worn the Royal Stewart at that date.

    I too have read that but it's not the case, it seems to have been one of the Sobieski Stuart's designs.

    Not at all. The original Prince of Wales was a baby - giern that the Welsh were told 5hey would have a Prince who could not speak a word of English..allegedly...

    Charles has been Prince of Wales ever since I can remember as well...

    The present Prince of Wales was created as such in 1958, so he would have been about 10 years old and his Investiture was some years later. He also studied the Welsh language at university.

    Well I wasn't alive as such then, but my point remains he's been Prince of Wales for a long time.

    My point about the original Prince of Wales still stands.

    Some of us would not consider 50 years as a long time!

    My point was that one poster claimed that the Prince of Wales was a title bestowed in adulthood and vlaimed that was the case with the current Prince of Wales...which definitrly isn't the case...
