Green ribbons? Second place. I covert my blue ribbons.

Let's see... Diana died in 1997, so by the time he was Colonel in Chief he had several years cohabiting with Camilla. Perhaps that explains the grin on his face!

I don't think even the best beer goggles could put a smile on the face of someone co habitating with Camilla. That is one seriously fugly woman.

Seems I have heard of him. What did he do? This getting old is hard.

Don't we have enough portraits of this man? I am an ardent Royalist but, having met him about five times (one of which was at a Christmas party given by Diana and Charles at Kensington Palace), I sincerely hope he never has the chance to become our King. He has so much to answer for.

In another thread there was a bit of chastisement for some of our membership who expressed displeasure at the character of a rap performer ( I know I was one of them). I think the point of this thread is about a particular portrait and the outfit of Prince Charles.

If we can show restraint for someone who calls himself "Snoop Dog" I think we can muster a touch for Prince Charles.

Lets keep this thread on track.

In his defense, Prince Charles always looks very well dressed when wearing the kilt. He definitely knows how to wear it in a flattering and respectful manner. IMHO he is a good ambassador for the kilt.

"Colonel in Chief" is an honourary position. The commanding officer would most likely be called the "Colonel", I think. HRH Prince Charles is likely the Colonel in Chief for more than one unit. There are members of the board who know a lot more about this than me, though!
