Prince William never appears in public wearing a kilt, raising questions about the future of a Scottish tradition. King Charles, on the other hand, proudly dons the kilt, and it seems that William consciously avoids this centuries-old attire in favor of elegant suits.

The reasons behind William's aversion to the kilt are unclear. While Charles upholds Scottish tradition, William remains true to his modern wardrobe, which could potentially impact the continuity of the tradition.
