Kilts at the Royal Wedding today?

**OC Richard** · 29th April 11, 02:52 AM

I'm watching the coverage on BBC America keeping an eye out for kilts either out on the streets or amongst wedding guests.

I did spot one wedding guest in kilt, wearing what appeared to be a charcoal Argyll jacket, white hose.

My wife and I are watching on Fox. They've had some discussion about the appropriate attire for the occasion, i.e. the morning suit vs the lounge suit for men, and of course the required wearing of the hats for the ladies. Looks like kilts didn't make the cut.

The Prime Minister's wife Samantha Cameron is not wearing a hat... We in the North are shocked

She's wearing a fascinator, isn't she?

A fascinator's not a hat, it's an alice band with feathers stuck on it. Should be reserved for school girls and premiership footballers. It's not a proper HAT!

She should take a leaf out of QE's book. Now there's a lady who know's a thing or two about hats!

If there was a guest in a kilt I missed it!

Except the the person who brought Fascinators back into fashion was Kate herself I beleive she wore one to an event, but I cannot remember what event that was, it was on one of the fashion networks prior to the wedding.

I believe I saw some tartan pleats when the camera panned around a bit since the cathedral. Looked similar to a Buchanan tartan.

I had the CNN feed on starting 1.5 hours early and there were a number of kilted gentlemen among the earlier guest arrivals. I didn't count but at least half-a-dozen. Most had Argyll jackets and colored ties. Several white socks (sorry, those that despise such). Only saw one w/ waistcoat and bow tie. Couldn't make out specific tartans but clearly a variety of dominant colors. Most had what looked like seal skin sporrans.
