Prince Charles Duke of Rothesay in kilt photos

**MacMillan of Rathdown** · 15th June 09, 07:33 AM

Thanks for bringing back the HRH thread. I agree with Matt that it probably should be a "photos only" thread, to which I'll add that it might also be better placed in the "Traditional Attire" forum.

That is a sound idea Matt. I'll take it to rest of the moderators. As the original poster I really would like to keep this one as well.

And... is there a precedence anywhere for the way the PoW wears his flashes? I was just curious cause I've copied him for so many years on that practice but have seen few if any others do the same?

I don't know why there must be a "precedent" regarding flashes: Prince Charles wears them the way he likes them! Ifyou like the look of his flashes, then go for it!

Only a couple of kilt shots but a nice link for fans of the POW. http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/gallery...ture=339423588

Lady Chrystel and I are very happy to see this thread back again.

It's also nice to be able to add a few comments. For example, about the way the flashes are worn, the waist jacket cut, the epaulettes less jackets etc.

An educated thread for well educated Xmarkers.

If some posts cause problems they sould be deleted. But for good taste's sake, lets save this precious thread.

Best,

Robert and Lady C.

Yes, Robert, this thread is very precious. We can learn how to wear a kilt with elegance !

That is the Rothesay Hunting tartan.

Honestly, I wasn't looking for a smart-*** response. It seemed a logical question since most modern Highland attire is rooted in military (especially) and British fashion, neither of which I am expertly versed. Further to, as this is a kilt forum, it also seemed logical that those reading this thread might be interested to learn more about the roots of modern Highland attire as so elegantly displayed by HRPoW, if there was one in this particular case. Thus, as I stated, I was CURIOUS if there was a precedence (NOT that there had to be), especially since I had been COPYING the PoW for some time now, ie 10+ years...

Obviously you are reading more into Sanford's post than I am, I did not see it as a smart comment at all. Just another opinion on it, from someone who knows a thing or two about Traditional Highland Attire.
