As per tradition, King Charles appeared at the Braemar Highland games on Saturday, 2nd of September wearing a kilt. However, what was notable about his kilt, was the specially designed tartan.
The King Charles III tartan was designed on the 6th of May, 2023 by The Scottish Tartans Authority and approved by the King himself. The new tartan was designed in recognition of the King’s strong support in preserving the culture of Highland Dress and Scottish Tartans but also to mark his coronation almost exactly a year on.
King Charles’ new tartan is based on the Balmoral tartan sett that dates from c.1850 and is woven entirely from Scottish wool by Lochcarron of Scotland in Selkirk. The tartan features a central stripe motif with colours that have been matched to the natural dyes of the 18th-century tartan collection.

On this occasion, King Charles paired his new tartan kilt with a white shirt, beige crail jacket and waistcoat, dressed it up with red hose and opted for a brown leather day sporran from Margaret Morrison. He was joined by Queen Camilla and Princess Anne who both wore tartan skirts.
His Majesty’s new tartan will join the Royal Family’s Balmoral tartan as another restricted design that is for the exclusive use of the Royal Family members. Both of these tartans can be woven strictly with written permission from the Scottish Tartans Authority under instruction from the Royal Household.
