Not forgetting that individual Regiments and Corps are granted the "Royal" annotation by the appropriate Monarch or Royal, usually in their capacity as Colonel-In -Chief. The Army Air Corps have been courting Charlie for some time now (he's the Colonel-In-Chief) to try and obtain "Royal" status, whereas some Regiments have had Royal status for hundreds of years, despite Des Browne's attempt to form a single Womens Auxilliary Balloon Corps to save on the cost of cap badges.
