Royal Stuart...
Daz,
You are correct about the Balmoral tartan, but technically, the House of Windsor does have some Stuart blood in it -- Mary, the daughter of James II, and the wife of Prince William of Orange, was a Stuart -- their daughter Anne was the last Stuart to reign before the Hanoverians took over.
The current royal family uses quite a few tartans:

So, both "Jacobite" and "Government" supporters can claim the Royal Stuart tartan! :mrgreen:
Cheers, 
Todd
