Wears dress of Toronto Scottish Regiment (Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's Own) which he is Colonel-in-Chief
The article in the men's magazine describes the prince's uniform as 'magnificent and substantial' and a 'style icon'
The Queen Mother was Colonel-in-Chief for more than 60 years until her death in 2002 and Charles took over in 2005
It is a striking image of our future king in kilt and sporran, and one that has never been published before.
Wearing the regimental dress of the Toronto Scottish Regiment (Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother's Own), of which he is Colonel-in-Chief, Prince Charles stares regally at the camera.
The picture was taken in 2012 for use by the Canadian army but has only now appeared in public on the cover of The Rake, an international publication for 'affluent, stylish, intelligent' men.

It is accompanied by an article describing the prince in his uniform as 'magnificent and substantial' – a 'style icon', even.
The Queen Mother was Colonel-in-Chief of the regiment for more than 60 years until her death in 2002. Charles, who holds honorary posts with more than 20 military organisations, took over in 2005.
This picture was taken by photographer Andrew Errington at Clarence House three years ago.
A spokesman said Charles uses this and similar military images to accompany messages that he sends to his regiments when requested.
The Rake International is a bimonthly magazine for men. Deputy editor Tom Chamberlin said: 'The Rake admires Prince Charles greatly, both in substance and in style.

'Images of him in uniform or one of his immaculate suits are commonplace but this portrait from Andrew Errington strengthens the sovereign side of Prince Charles.
'The tagline "The Great Protector" highlights both his lifelong dedication to charity, conservation and environmentalism, and his future role as king.
'This image supports that idea, it is powerful, bold, moving and thoroughly rakish.'
The accompanying article, written by royal biographer Hugo Vickers, highlights Charles's role as a 'style icon' who favours conventional but well-cut Anderson and Sheppard suits.
The Rake, featuring the portrait of Charles, is on sale now.
