    Well, these videos certainly demonstrate the Duke as a snappy dresser. But they also underline the man’s involvement in issues that really matter, and I can only commend him for that as well.
    Without wanting to overstep the guidelines for this forum, I have to say that here is a leader of men who is worth 100 politicians. He finds issues that MPs and MSPs couldn’t be bothered with, or dare not touch, and makes them practical.
    Hail the Duke!
    Regards,
    Mike

    Braemar Gathering 2010 pt.1

    A series of photos of the Royals enjoying the tug-of-war event at this years Braemar Gathering. Though in the public arena, I love the candid expressions, especially between mother & son. Those who have preconceived notions of the Royals being stiff & restrained only need view these

    Braemar Gathering 2010 pt.2










    Though one cannot really see Charles in this photo, I posted it as we get a partial view of his father's attire as a contrast. I don't know if it is a quirk of The Duke of Edinburgh's sporran or not, but I have noticed in other photos that this same sporran's flap has a habit of being in a semi-open position:



    Just because I like this photo

    Great photos Terry, Her Majesty, The Queen, really seems to enjoy the games. Is anyone able to identify the tweed that HRH Prince Charles is wearing?

    Just a guess--- I suspect it might it be something specially woven for HRH.

    It appears that the brown hunting sporran the Prince is wearing in many of the photos is the same one dating back to the photo of him wearing it as a teenager. I'm guessing it's either a family heirloom, or one of his favorites - or maybe both.
