King Charles III tartan

I was there...

And immediately spotted it was something new. My mates on either side of me spied the king through binoculars, but none of us three could identify it.

We guessed that it was the new tartan that had been hinted at recently - and splendid it is too..!

Is it restricted to HM's own personal use..?

It was created for HM and as such, is restricted unless he says otherwise.

Well done Peter, it is a lovely tartan. Although to my eye, I would prefer the King to wear the Balmoral tartan.

Indeed Jock, he always looks good in it. I wonder if we will see this new one being worn in preference to some of those that are associated with titles he's now passed on to William.

I'm guessing that the civilian kilts involved would be

-Duke of Rothesay
-Duke of Rothesay Hunting
-Lord of the Isles Hunting

Would there be others?

If he choses to drop some then those would be the logical ones. That said, he has worn both DoR tartan since becoming King. But that was before he had his own.

The other one he's not worn is a while is the Hodden Grey. I don't know if he is still C-in-C of the Toronto Scottish.
