So, in general...wear a belt, or wear a waistcoat...but not both. Some of our members here wear neither belt nor vest.

The purpose belts serve: (1) Break up (visually) the long waist on the kilt when no vest is worn, or, (2) for attaching a dirk with full formal wear.

Finally...I've been through this thread and don't recall HRH ever wearing a PC...I might be wrong. Are you maybe referring to the picture of him wearing a "Balmoral" doublet? I don't think I've ever seen him in a PC. Which post are you referring to?
It is the velvet 'Balmoral' doublet. One can purchase this style of doublet from Highland Clans out of Argyllshire (same place Sandy purchased his tartan, 'Appin' jacket). I have a few bespoke tartan waistcoats from them.
