    I believe that the hose in question, when seen in person are probably more of a Aran / lt. beige / warm creme colour.

    The Duke of Rothesay in action

    I found some video that shows the The Duke of Rothesay wearing his kilt. I thought they'd be a nice break from still photos

    The Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland



    The Duke of Rothesay speaks during a visit to Perth

    The Duke of Rothesay gives an interview during a visit to Perth. He talks about the importance of local sourcing after a visit to a food market in the town, his visit to Balhousie Castle to meet with soldiers from the Black Watch regiment and the launch of the new Start initiative aimed at helping people take positive action to prevent climate change.



    Stanley Mills: Preserving Scotland's Heritage

    The Duke of Rothesay, as The Prince of Wales is known in Scotland, visits the restored Stanley Mills in Perth, Scotland in June 2010. His Royal Highness's charity, The Prince's Regeneration Trust (PRT), worked with partners such as Historic Scotland in order to undertake the complex and costly task of reviving the badly neglected buildings. During The Duke's visit, the PRT receive a prestigious Europa Nostra award, which recognises the importance of Stanley Mills to Scotland's built heritage.



    Unfortunately, as the following video has their embedding disabled, you will have to go to the source to view:

    My wife and I went to the movie King's Speech and there was a segment where George VI was wearing a kilt on a visit to Balmoral Castle. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie. All characters well drawn except for Winston Churchill who came off as a small man with a perpetual dour look.

    The Prince of Wales has always been a snappy dresser. Not flashy, but very well put together.


    IThese pictures really do show that he has a thing for kilts. I had no idea he enjoyed them this much.

    Please forgive me if this has already been brought up to death, but in looking at these pictures, I've noticed something: Does HRH check his watch VERY frequently? Or do photographers just strive to catch a shot where his is reaching for and/or replacing his watch?

    The question may seem trivial, but I'm interested to hear what folks think.

    EDIT: On inspection of the above video, he seems to park his hand in his watch pocket. In still pictures, it just seems as though he's always curious of the time!

    I do know that the Royals are very particular about the time, but I think the Prince's antics with his pocket watch is just a mannerism of his.
