Prince Charles Duke of Rothesay in kilt photos

It appears that the brown hunting sporran the Prince is wearing in many of the photos is the same one dating back to the photo of him wearing it as a teenager. I'm guessing it's either a family heirloom, or one of his favorites - or maybe both.

I neglected to compliment the collector and contributors of those wonderful photographs. They are truly an incredible collection. Thanks so much for posting them.

I believe it belonged to his grandfather, King George VI.

Here a couple of more that I just ran across (from a different angle):

I was just noticing in the most recent photos I posted of HRH Prince Charles, that he is not only wearing the oft mentioned "pocket watch" (note chain in the photo below), but is also wearing a wrist watch in many of the photos

Why the chain? Just for show (with nothing attached)?
Any thoughts on this?

I don't have any authoritive knowledge Terry but my guess is that he has worn a watch chain for a number of years with his scottish dress, and now it's just part of his normal accoutrements that he feels naked without. Just a guess as I said

Seems as valid a reason as any to me, Mike.
Thanks.
