Nor are they knowledgeable about who is entitled to wear the Royal Stewart tartan!

No, but pipers of "Royal" regiments wear it, such as the RHR (Black Watch) and the King's Own Scottish Borderers. And the Sovereign's piper wears it as well:

On ceremonial occasions, the Pipe Major wears the Royal Stewart tartan.

During The Queen's stay on her private estate in Scotland, the Balmoral Tartan is worn. The Royal Stewart and Balmoral Tartans are recognised as 'royal' tartans, The Royal Stewart is considered the tartan of the Royal House of Stewart (or Stuart).
