First pic of Charles and Camilla

**Martin** · 10th February 05, 11:32 AM

The first official photograph of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker-Bowles since their engagement was anounced today.

Charles, needless to say, is resplendent in a kilt!

I'll be wearing mine to the do....if invited.

The tie is the Gordon Highlanders regimental tie, and the tartan appears to be the Princess Mary Tartan (based on Royal Stewart with a dark green ground in place of Red) -- a graphic is found of it on the "Royal Tartans" page on the Tartans Authority site:

Third one down on the right.

Charles is very proud of his association with the Gordons, who were amalgamted in 1994 with the Queens Own Highlander (Seaforth & Camerons) to form the Highlanders.

A very nice photo -- thanks for posting, Martin, and best wishes to them both!

Cheers,

Todd

That is a nice photo Martin. Of course anyone wearing a kilt looks great

I guess that I will see you at the ceremony

,even if it is a Civil one.

Well at least Charles looks good in a kilt. Love the coordinating colours.

Not quite co-ordinated, Casey! Camilla should have worn brown gloves (and shoes?) to match Charles' sporran if they had wished to be co-ordinated!

Hamish, I felt sure you would say something about the tie Charles was wearing!

Well Graham, I certainly do not like his tie with that ensemble. However, it appears to be a military regimental tie and he might have been attending an event connected with that regiment when the picture was taken. Since I have no knowledge whatsoever of matters 'military' or 'regimental' (other than another meaning of the word! ;) ) I am unable to comment further ...... much as I should like to.

Thanks Hamish, well I suppose that we should be happy that his first official piccie should be taken while kilted, regardless of whatever else we might think about the Royal pair.
