Hi folks, just to point out that the 'Royal Army' in game should be called the 'British Army'. This explains:

"In contrast to the Royal Navy, Royal Marines and Royal Air Force, the British Army does not include Royal in its title because, after a historic struggle between Parliament and monarchy, the British Army has always been answerable to Parliament rather than the Monarch. Many of the Army's constituent regiments and corps have been granted the "Royal" prefix and have members of the Royal Family occupying senior honorary positions within some regiments."

Cheers.

Soldiers in the British army swear allegiance to the Queen and her heirs not parliament. Historically regiments were raised and funded by private individuals and not by Royal charter ( like RN and RAF),it would be more accurate to say that individuals swear loyal allegiance to the Queen. Some individual Regiments have Royal patronage and hence are "Royal regiments" ie Royal Highland Fusiliers. having said that please change from Royal Army (saves me doing it manually). ps. As stated marines are part of the RN and hence have a Royal charter

I don't think Brit royalty have quite forgiven Cromwell and his New Model Army yet...
