King's kilt
That's got to be right - the Modern Douglas I mean. The producers seemed such sticklers for accuracy that they would go to great lengths to not make a mistake. You have good eyes and patience to spare to pick that detail up. Funny, in that clip of the drive to Balmoral, one just knew something was up when they passed those trees coming down.
I am not sure many Americans understand the titanic nature of the abdication crisis in its day but I've studied the period intensively and the movie gets the politics right, and the portraits of caddish conflicted Edward and his gorgonish girlfriend are bang on. Or is that a violation of Forum Rule #5? (Perhaps I'll be complained about by someone from Baltimore now. Another welcome for a new guy! )
The Cameronians had a long and distinguished history going back to the days of the Scottish covenant and elected for total disbandment rather than take their chances in an amalgamation.
Video of their final passing out parade and laying up of their colours is on Utube somewhere.
