Tigtog @22: you have thought this through way, way too much!

At least, judging by reports of the Windsor sense of humour, she and all the family would have laughed their heads off at that photo. They’re an earthy, bawdy bunch.

Sly dog.

I am so naive, I thought it was a genuine mistake, but that smile is suspiciously self-satisfied.

@Helen,

the position of the kilt, sporran and bare thighs is definitely genuine – look at the orientation of the badger’s head part of the sporran compared to the other soldiers’ sporrans – there’s no doubt that a gratuitous groin shot happened here.

It’s certainly possible that a more obvious “sleeping dog” than the gentleman actually possesses has been photoshopped in for more humorous visual effect, but I think an equally plausible explanation is that the reason that he did it is because he has an impressively obvious “sleeping dog” to begin with.

You mean that’s for real? I assumed it was photoshopped!

I admin magicked that one, su, because it’s one of my favourites. Look at his face – that’s no accident. I hope winning the bet was worth the regimental punishment he would have also got.

Ankles crossed, hands on knees not recommended: Which brings to mind Dave Allen's rather lovely euphemism, "The gate's open but the dog's asleep".

Re Rachel’s photos – note that in each the gentlemen have a hand placed upon their kilt to prevent revelations none of us need share.
