It just occurred to me: wasn't his grandmother from Scotland? Does anyone know what her maiden name would have been (and its associated tartan)? For that matter, now that I think on it more, what is the Royal family's surname- Windsor??? I don't know if I've ever really thought about that? Curious...
Others have given the answer for the surname, Bowes-Lyon, which I knew but which didn't come to mind immediately. However, nobody seems to have noted that there is a Lyon clan tartan:-

ETA: Apparently it's a variant of Black Watch with a colour substitution.
