I've heard that when there's a queen on the throne officially kilt-wearers have to cover up under those things, but when there's a king...let's just say that while I'm not praying for Queen Elizabeth's death--indeed, she seems a very good woman--I think that many people will be consoled if Doctor Who's lovely Scotsmen would decide to take advantage of that to get, as Archie said in Goblet of Fire, "a nice little breeze round [their] privates."
Then all that's left to do is to position oneself under, say, a glass walkway, and wait.
I've heard that too, but I don't think everyone pays attention. I remember seeing a collection of pix of men in kilts on the internets where it was all too clear that they were going regimental, and one of the pix was of two kilt wearers sitting with their legs wide apart on either side of the Queen. So no, they don't really care.
I think i saw that one too. the guy on the left had the most gleeful expression maybe the rule about covering it when the ruling monarch is female dates from when these pics first hit interwebs?
He did rather. That could be, though I think the rule, or maybe custom would be a better word, may have been around longer. Long before I saw that pic I heard from a kilt-wearer at a Highland Games fest that the only time you wear anything under the kilt is when you meet the Queen and when you participate in the Highland games. I think most men at least follow the last maxim, thank goodness!
No, it's all in perfect working order.
