Yes, the Earl is certainly the best dressed (and the coolest) in this photo.

Well, at least the guy standing behind Edward appears to be appropriately attired for attending a Scottish games. Personally I think that Edward looks ridiculous wearing that suit and hat to a Scottish themed event. It is the sort of outfit which in Scotland nowadays is usually only seen being worn by "civilians" taking part in World War 2 re-enactment events.

I was told by someone who had the opportunity to ask HRH himself that his choice not to wear the kilt was in deference to the hot climate, and Prince Edward expressed an interest in obtaining a cooler-wearing kilt "for when he returns to North America."

I wish I had had a hat like HRH's. The sun was pretty warm, and my wool Balmoral didn't do much to alleviate the heat.
I believe the young ladies he's pictured with are athletes, and they seem to be enjoying getting to meet the prince.

When given a choice, most people will choose.

I thought he looked nice, and he seemed very relaxed the entire time he was there. It was a hot and rather humid day, and he was smart to dress for it. I would guess that the suit was tropical weight. I was talking to a band member from Scotland, and she found the heat to be very oppressive and said that she couldn't get used to it no matter how many times she was in the USA.
I thought the crowd was very respectful, too.

HRH's schedule was very full on Games day-- in addition to visiting the games, he had to attend a luncheon with the Lt. Governor, State Attorney General, and numerous national and state elected officials, as well as meet with the Miss South Carolina Pageant participants in the Duke of Edinburgh's Awards, and attend a dinner in his honour hosted by Furman University. There simply wasn't time for HRH to leave the games, return to his hotel, change, and attend the next function.

Ah the old translation error. Indeed a 'fag' at my school was a boy doing minor chores for an older boy or teacher and by extension a tiresome chore or a cigarette. Tomato Tomato...
The 'Eathen in his idleness bows down to wood and stone,
'E don't obey no orders unless they is his own,
He keeps his side arms awful,
And he leaves them all about,
Until up comes the Regiment and kicks the 'Eathen out.
