HRH Prince Charles in Highland Evening Attire - Let's Take a Look!

[jhockin]

I have always thoroughly enjoyed looking at various photos of HRH Prince Charles (full title: His Royal Highness Prince Charles Philip Arthur George, Prince of Wales, KG, KT, GCB, OM, AK, QSO, PC, ADC, Earl of Chester, Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland), wearing Highland dress whilst he is in Scotland and recently came across several photos of HRH in Highland evening attire. One of which I have seen many times before, but still enjoy to look at nonetheless. I'm always amazed at how put together and well turned out HRH looks in his Highland kit, but then again, he always looks quite smart in any sort of attire/uniform for that matter.

..weeeelllll, considering the fact that if one is born into the "right" family, and has tailors, butlers, dressers, etc. etc., and what ( to most of us) is basically an unlimited budget .. it would be more surprising if he wasn't 'well turned out', eh?

Valid point. I have a friend that comes from a very affluent, old (blue-blood) American family that has similar access to an unlimited budget (in his case, a trust fund), as well as to tailors, butlers, dressers, etc, yet he still doesn't give a damn about how he looks or how he presents himself on the social front (think Adam Sandler in the movie, Mr. Deeds), so I think it's all rather subjective. Then again, I tend to believe that there's quite a bit of difference between a rich, American family and that of the British Royal Family. I would argue, simply a different mentality and approach to things, coupled with a huge amount of responsibility on a much grander scale.
