			A Royal meeting
		
			
				
					I had the privilege to meet His Majesty The King and Queen Camilla, and to support Lochcarron of Scotland during Their Majesties’ visit to Selkirk yesterday. We had a good chat about tartans, the weaving process etc.

					Really great.
 Without knowing, I have always considered HRM King Charles as a man liking kilts and not just wearing them, because he is expected to.

	Yes, one that was worn by his grandfather. And by Edward VIII too. Here they are in 1907.
