Are you referring to the style (with lapel piping) or the fact that he's actually wearing one?

It is a morning coat and it looks a bit retro with the silk piping and the slip. Nonetheless it is a beautiful item.

Rather magnificent.

I like it. It does look very Edwardian to me, possibly tailored pre or during WW1. I should have thought it was better suited to something more funerary than a birthday celebration, but it certainly appeals to the goth in me.

Smashing, just smashing. And the glib expression on his face is perfect, too. I wonder about several details, such as the pocket watch, the diamond tie tack and the little tiny lapel pin.
They're not dressed for a birthday celebration, they're dressed to receive the Emire of Qatar.
I wouldn't have thought this was a hand-me-down. The coat is the same one he wore for his wedding.

It is the same as the one he wore to marry Camilla, but it looks less funerary with a grey waistcoat.
Still think it's jolly nice!

Ah, I thought is was for Phil's recent birthday hoo-hah (to which the gag on the PE cover refers) - I don't follow the Windsors, so I missed the coverage of that particular event.
BTW, are they standing on the same level in that photo?I always had the impression Charles was quite tall, but there he doesn't look much taller than his father (who is almost as tiny as the queen).
Whoever knew google offered this service?

No idea where they're getting the height from. I saw Charles (while I was protesting his presence in my firebrand student days) at Aberdeen, and he did not seem that tall.
Maybe it's true, though. He's taller than the olds, but then, they are all quite short …

yeah, looks to be more of a 3" drop there. Sarko's 5' 5", apparently, though i'm not sure if this includes his heels 
that would put Chuckles at about 5' 6"-8"

Not really. Favourbrook's braid trimmed morning coats are a big seller for them.

Favourbrook stuff is gorgeous, if highly unlikely ever to be within my budget.
I assume that you are referring disrespectfully to HRH The Prince of Wales?
His Morning Dress maybe desperately old fashioned but why, given the desire for many here to have suits from the 1930s, should this occasion comment?
