I don't think there is a tradition of Princes of the Blood Royal "joining" Highland regiments. In fact, I cannot think of one prince in the past 100 years who has done so, although the present Duke of Kent served in the Royal Scots Greys. Certainly they have served as colonels of Highland regiments, but as the Navy is the senior service, and the Brigade of Guards and Household Cavalry are likewise senior, I really don't think a commission in a Highland regiment was ever considered.
