Because British and Commonwealth armies use the regimental system as opposed to the divisional, indivdual naming conventions can be complicated.

We have some "royal" regiments and some non-royal. Two examples are the Royal Tank regiments and Royal Dragoon guards while two non-roya regiments are the Rifles and the 9th/12th lancers.
