why dont we have a royal british army like the navy and airforce?

Question

afterall the queen is chief commander of the british army

Answer 1

Because we don't need fancy titles to make ourselves sound important.

Answer 2

Because the army (Cromwell's ) fought against the Royalists in the English Civil War and ended up chopping off the head of King Charles I. So the army is not given a 'Royal' title, but each corps or regiment is.
My question is, do we English know more about the American civil war than our own?

Answer 3

The army was created by amalgamating together all the different regiments that existed in the UK, and many of these regiments already had 'royal' in their name (e.g. the Royal Scotts, the Royal Devon Yeomanry, the Royal hampshire regiment, etc).

Answer 4

the army is split into different regiments many of them having "royal" or a "royals name " in the title.
the navy and the airforce have different job titles but not separate regiments like the army.
