The '''Queen's Own''' (formally known as the '''Monarch's Own Regiment''') is the elite royal guard regiment of the [[Royal Manticoran Army]] (RMA). The regiment is called either "Queen's Own" or "King's Own" depending on the gender of the reigning sovereign.  During the time of the Honor Harrington stories, the reigning monarch was [[Elizabeth III]], so it was called the Queen's Own during this period.
