Duke of Rothesay...
HRH the Duke of Rothesay is also quite devotee of piping -- He is featured in the documentary "Instrument of War" talking about piping with the oldest surviving piper from the First World War, and during the course of the conversation he mentioned the Gordon pipers who played each night at dinner at Balmoral, and how he was allowed to stay up past his bed time to hear the pipers play. You could hear the sincerity in his voice.
Prince Charles was colonel-in-chief of the Gordons, and now is C-in-C of the Black Watch after his grandmother's passing, may she rest in peace. He also the C-in-C of the Highlanders (Gordons & Queens Own amalgamted).
Cheers, 
Todd
