Why does Prince Charles wear a skirt?

[rustybin]

Noticed that when he and the lovely Camilla went to open a playground yesterday (not that it had been very well secured, it was full of kids already) he was wearing a kilt. Seems odd as his mother is of German descent and his dad is Greek, he is the Prince of Wales and his Duchy is in Cornwall. Doesn't exactly make him Rob Roy, so why the tartan?

Well, he's Prince of the British Isles I guess, and he seems most at home at Balmoral. Was he in Scotland at the time? Might be a nice gesture too. Plus, kilts are cool

With all that post wedding action he's getting, I expect it's quite a relief to get a breeze around the royal tackle.

I seem to be more Surrey than Sweaty nowadays, but yes, I am of the kilt-wearing fraternity

His grandmother was Scottish, hence his mother is not German.

I thought he was part of the House of Windsor nee Sax-Coburg (sp) or should that be the Clan McSax-Coburg?

Just seems a little odd to wear the national dress of the place you are on holiday in. Unless you are on the Costa Brava wearing a Sombrero and carrying the traditional straw donkey.

I think he becomes duke of somewherescottish when he's at residence at balmoral. Plus a kilt is far more interesting than a suit.

[parrot of doom]

He was born in this country, raised in this country, taught in this country.....what difference does it make if one of his distant relatives was German?
