Why Prince Charles Wore Kilt In Aberdeenshire While Receiving Guard Of Honor

Prince Charles wore a kilt during his recent trip to Aberdeenshire, where he also received a guard of honor.

While there, the future King met with members of the 1st Macduff Scouts at their newly-refurbished hut in the coastal town. Prince Charles was also invited to take part in a craft session and was given a tour of the 18th century stone hut, which was recently reopened.

Prince Charles, who is known as the Duke of Rothesay, was photographed in his coat and vest and a long-sleeved polo shirt. He also wore a red and green kilt and matching green knee-high socks to the engagement.

On the online forum site Quora, royal fans explained why Prince Charles is always seen wearing a kilt when he visits Aberdeenshire and other countries. Krisha Parker, a graduate of Auckland University of Technology, said that wearing a kilt or the Scottish dress symbolizes the special affection that the royal family has to that part of the realm.

Katie Micallef said that anyone can wear a kilt regardless if it’s associated with your clan or a non-specific pattern. Prince Charles, who is a member of the royal family, has several royal tartans available to him, which includes those that belong to areas of Scotland of which he holds a title to.

“As Prince Charles is the first in line to the throne of Great Britain, wearing a Scottish kilt is one way to show his support for that part of the realm. Ever since Queen Victoria fell in love with Scotland and all things Scottish, the royal family has followed that tradition and the current royal family often holidays in Scotland and own property there,” she said.

Sohail Asari, the co-founder, and director of InfoGrown Technologies said that Prince Charles is entitled to wear kilts. He said that kilts can be worn by anyone but the specific colors or tartan can only be worn by members of a particular clan.
