| Prince Charles - C-in-C of Black Watch Canada |
In 1968 the Canadian armed forces were restructured or moved about in some official re-organisation. The title Royal was dropped. Now it has been decided
to restore the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Canadian Air Force to their former status. The army is a different matter. Made up of regiments the armies of the British Empire were never royal. Some regiments were or were loyal to the king, or a prince, or a duke or a county. They all came together as The Army.
The Canadian Army is back in style rather than the more obliquely named Land Force Command. No doubt regiments will take a proper role such as
Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry and
The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada. I think Canada's marching in the right direction.
