As the first (or is he the second?) gentleman of the realm, HRH the Duke of Rothesay and sometime Prince of Wales is correct in whatever he wears. It is the rest of us who then become incorrect.

Well,as we all keep saying "each to their own". It does not look right to me, but then, I am not the one wearing it!

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.

Thanks for the info.
So, there are three or four reports of his wearing a kilt. And now for the bonus points, which tartan(s), if any?
