    Yes Prince Charles (here we call him the Prince of Wales of course ) is indeed a snappy dresser especially when wearing the kilt. It's not something that he appears to have been able to install in his sons alas which is a great pity.

    I would love to see him in a Welsh cilt sometime on a visit to the Principality.

    As to Charles Edward Stewart, I have just finished reading a biography of him and there is no evidence that he ever wore a kilt again following his flight after the '45 or that he ever wore one before he landed.

    Is there reliable evidence that he ever wore one while in Scotland? Or during the invasion of England?

    The book I read Bonnie Prince Charlie a biography by Susan McClean Kybett (1988 ISBN 0-04-440213-9) states the he first set foot on Eriskay, not wearing a kilt but the robes of an abbé. He is recorded as being resplendent in "set of pleat" trimmed with lace and gold braid as he entered Perth.

    He did not enter Edinburgh kilted but wore red velvet breeches. There are other references to his wearing a kilt but breeches do seem to have been his more favourite attire.

    On Skye he changed from his Betty Buke costume into a "philibeg and other Highland clothes given to him by Kingsburgh when he reached the edge of a wood before proceding to Portree."

    Later he is recorded at Loch Arkaig as "he was then barefooted, had an old black kilt coat on, a plaid, philabeg and waistcoat, a dirty shirt and a long red beard".

    There is a reproduction of a painting of him about to embark on L'Heaureux at Loch nan Uamh when he is also kilted, but a painting is not a photograph.

    I would think that many of the pictures of him in a kilt are romantic representations from a later time.
