Expansion gap help please

I don't mind cutting the plinth as I have the right gear to cut off what I need.
So a 3mm Silicon join to the skirt will be ok then. I have found a good Silicon match to the grey tile colour and will be using a darker grout.

My thinking was that as it looks the same colour its almost like
the tile is going under the skirt
Am I ok with a 3mm perimeter

Personally I think so . Can't remember british what standards say about perimeter joints but on movement joints on a large area they say something to effect of every 40 sqm metres you need a 6mm movement joint with the longest run being 8 linear metres between joints . With two 3mm joints each side of the room you have equivalent to 6 mm over a 3 metre run . Therefore I see no issues .

Thank you for the advice.
