Right to wear a kilt

[Niblox]

Edward VIII reigned for only 10 months in 1936 (he was never actually crowned). He was suspected of having Nazi sympathies (as was his wife) but that was part of the British Establishment's smear campaign to discredit him. This arose largely through the antipathy of his mother, Queen Mary, and his sister-in-law, Elizabeth, towards Wallis Simpson, who became Duchess of Windsor.

He did not conform to the pattern expected of him by the Court and for this he was regarded as "odd" - anyone with any individuality in that setup was ostracised. It still continues up to the present day - just look at what happened to Diana Princess of Wales, and to Sarah, Duchess of York in more recent years.

HM the Queen Mother is VERY highly regarded in Scotland, her Father was the Earl of Strathmore, she along with her husband king George VI refused to leave Buckingham palace during the blitz and the palace was bombed several times, they would visit bombed out areas sometimes on a daily basis. Princess Elizabeth (now the queen) did military service during the war (she was a car mechanic). The king had a bad speech impedment and stammer due to being made to use his right hand for writing despite being left handed. Whilst the current generation of the royals dont exacly set the world alight with carisma, the previous generation were an inspiration to many during the war years. Prince Charles of course is Britains highest profile kilt wearer ( aside from "Archie the inventor")
