Prince Charles Duke of Rothesay in kilt photos

[Chas]

I really like that coat Camilla wears, with the bias tartan lapels. Has me thinking about XMTS tartan lapels on a blue, maybe denim, blazer. . . hmmmmm. . . would cuffs be too much?

I also love that look, and I don't think that cuffs would be too much as long as they aren't extremely wide! I have a blazer in BlackWatch with solid black lapels, and I think the reverse would look gorgeous!

When I was a child, my mother used to wear a wartime designed dress. A light buff colour with contrasting collars and cuffs. The sleeves were 3/4 length. I don't know what the style of collar is called, but it was like a mandarin collar but turned down (does that make any sense). Any way the collar and cuffs were made from scrap material and buttoned on with tiny hidden buttons. (clothing rationing was still in force) There was a green stripey set; A plain maroon set; a Royal Stewart set and one with thousands of tiny dots that I really hated. Any way the point being that if one was clever, you could have one garment with various additions.

Yes, I can see that -- my sister had a wool coat with detachable fur collar, similar construction. Might keep me from having to make the jacket myself, just find a suitable ready-made and fiddle up the trimmings!

I just ordered some shooting socks, that look like the green ones with red dicing on the cuff... this helps me, because I feel I made a good choice... so good, I ordered another pair, green, with mustard checks..

I know this photo has been posted on the forum but thought I'd bring this thread back to the original intent with some more photos





I hope Mael adds his photos from The Gathering.

These are the best kilted shots of the Duke of Rothesay that I took the Saturday of The Gathering on my thread of Kilted Fortnight Holiday in Scotland and France.

Here is the link to the Duke's address in the Opening Ceremonies of
the Gathering.

GREAT photos, Mael Coluim. You had a great spot!

I had a wonder last night if HRH would respond to an invitation from XMTS to be an honourary member of some sort or other? Even if he just made one guest "appearance" it would be quite remarkable, and it seems that he would undoubtedly have something fascinating and intriguing to say (as he always seems to be doing in these photos). It would be very interesting to hear what advice he would give on the wearing of the kilt, too, eh wot?

Just a thought that I will leave for others more capable to pick up and run with...

PS: isn't that the Stewart Hunting tartan HRH is wearing in the above?

Looking very sharp, and I REALLY like the exotic hosery! I wonder how long HRH had to save-up before he could get his kilts?

And just to show that Charles isn't the only one. . .Prince Edward

Note the brown/black leathers!
