    It's personal taste, nothing more, nothing less.

    I can really appreciate of Charles always seems to have his fingers inside his waistcoat's pocket.

    Shows someone utterly comfortable with a kilt, and in command of what to do with his idle hand.

    Duh!

    I didn't realize the Duke of Rothesay was HRH the Prince of Wales. Thanks for the link. I now realize why the clothes fit so well, he has really good tailors!

    Regards,

    Powrie Brae war memorial - Black Watch

    Prince Charles at the re-dedication of this War memorial outside Dundee - http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/scot...les.5744128.jp - I notice his lapel groaning with medals.

    It may be that he has several of the same kind or from the same place, but it appears to me that HRH has a favorite brown sporran. It can be seen in pictures of him with his young children all the way up to events with Camilla (sp?).

    I noticed exactly the same thing.

    And I'm thinking that it might be the very best look to emulate. It's understated yet classy.

    and I did notice that his shoe color is almost always black with brown sporran, no less. Hmmm. Time to rethink?

    Some of us have been advocating this for some time

    I was wondering, from a modern Scot's view, what is the general opinion in Scotland of the white cockade in everyday wear? Is it akward that this gentleman is talking to the PoW and wearing it? I know he's not technically a Hannover, but only technically.
