in my 2300ad campaign the British Army had earned the title Royal British Army due to the pacification/reunification campaigns that restored His Majesties Government of King Harry.
I am not sure on that part but it sounds like how the Russian bestowed the honorific title of "Guards" on the units that performed well during World War II.
