QUEEN ELIZABETH ll PLATINUM JUBLIEE SCARF

THE BACKGROUND 

Inspired by the Jubilee year, the Tartan was chosen and approved by Her Majesty Th­e Queen and commemorates the 70 years of her reign. ­The last time a new tartan was specifically approved by the Royal Family was when a tartan was designed for King George VI (Green Stewart). Th­e Tartan has been designed by the Kinloch Anderson company, which has been Tailors and Kiltmakers to the Royal Family since 1903 and is cooperating with the Royal Warrant Holders Association, and the Association member companies. Sales of product using the tartan will also benet the RWHA Charity Fund.

THE TARTAN DESIGN

T­he ‘sett’ or pattern is based on the King George VI (Green Stewart) and also reflects the historical connection with the Stewart tartans. Th­ere are seven colours to reflect the seven decades of Her Majesty’s reign. Th­e colours include platinum grey, the green and black of the King George VI tartan, red, white and blue for the United Kingdom, and gold to represent the Crown.
