Prince Charles Duke of Rothesay in kilt photos

Does HRH's waistbelt have studding ? It appears that the one he wears with his Balmoral doublet seems to have a significant studding pattern along the length. Does anyone have a better photo of it than the cover shot on the magazine?

It appears that there are indeed silver studs on HRH's belt, but it's hard to tell for sure. I see what you are talking about. I am most keen too, so hopefully someone has a better photo.

No, there is no "studding". Double-holes may show up as studding on your monitor but are just that: double-holes for the double prongs on the belt. The single stud you see on his left side connects his waist belt and his sword belt.

Thanks, Rex.

Actually the belt is studded, at least it is if it's the same one he wore for the Architectural Digest shoot.

And if you look at the pic above with the Duchess you can see the other side of the belt and there are studs. I can see the pattern when enlarged clearly and it resembles no belt prong hole layout I've ever seen!

My apologies, I didn't realise we had jumped back four or five pages to the AD cover pic.

Excellent! What a cool belt! I believe the late Duke of Windsor wore a similar belt (it may have been up for auction along with his complete Highland evening kit), it may even be the same one.
