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

In {{trmn}} (TRMN), membership in the Monarch's Own serves as an honor society for RMA members.
==Canon history==
The Monarch's Own was created with the coronation of King Roger I, when the Manticore and Sphinx Planetary Guards each "donated" a company and a half of their troops to form the core of a new battalion. Gryphon followed as soon as its population could support its own Planetary Guard. The whole unit was merged with the Army in 1665 PD.<ref>[[http://infodump.thefifthimperium.com/entry/Harrington/240/1 Why the Queen's Own exists]</ref>

The Monarch's Own contributed forces to front-line combat within the Star Kingdom at wartime, usually deploying one of its three "planet battalions" to the frontline, leaving the other two to the normal duties. In addition, the Monarch's Own was the Army's primary ceremonial unit.<ref>''House of Steel'', pp. 411-412</ref>

==Regimental Organization==
In [[canon]], the regiment is made up of four [[battalion]]s, one for each of the three original planets of the [[Star Kingdom of Manticore|Star Kingdom]], plus a training battalion:

[[File:Copper Walls.png|250px|right|Shoulder patch of the Copper Walls Battalion.]]

===Chinati Ridge Raiders===

===Copper Walls Battalion===
The '''Copper Walls Battalion''' was the Sphinxian unit, and is named after the Copper Walls mountain range on the planet Sphinx.<ref>"The mustachioed major at its head wore the scarlet facings of the Queen's Own Regiment and the shoulder flash of the Copper Walls Battalion, the component drawn from Honor's homeworld..." ''Field of Dishonor'', Chapter 3</ref> <ref>"...an Army officer in the scarlet facings of the King's—no, the Queen's—Own Regiment. A tall man, with the well-muscled look of a heavy-worlder and the shoulder flash of the Copperwalls Battalion...The captain spoke with the clipped accent of the Ice Gia Settlement on Sphinx." ''Queen's Gambit'' from ''Worlds of Honor.'' 1999</ref>

===Falcons End Rangers===
The '''Falcon's End Rangers''' represented the planet Gryphon and wore a shoulder patch with a griffin's head.<ref>"The captain wore the griffin-headed shoulder patch of the Falcons End Rangers, the Griffin-recruited battalion of the Queen's Own." ''At All Costs'', Chapter 7.</ref>

===Bordeaux Battalion===
The '''Bordeaux Battalion''' was a battalion of the Monarch's Own.<ref>"...Major Padraic Dover, was ... A native of Gryphon, he served in the Bordeaux Battalion of the King's Own Regiment. "
''Queen's Gambit'' from ''Worlds of Honor.''</ref>

===School Battalion===
The School Battalion's functions are to provide for the regiment's own training requirements, and also to provide an elite [[wikipedia:Opposing force|OPFOR]] for the Army's (and Marines') training commands.<ref>[http://infodump.thefifthimperium.com/entry/Harrington/240/1 Pearls of Weber: Why the Queen's Own exists] </ref>

==Uniform==
[[Image:TQO BERET.png|400px|left|Beret of the Queen's Own Regiment]]
Monarch's Own uniforms have scarlet colored berets and facings, distinguishing them from the green berets and blue facings of other RMA units. Additionally, the beret badge has the crowned cypher of the reigning monarch, '''EIIIW''' in the case of [[Elizabeth III|Elizabeth III Winton]].

==The Monarch's Own in TRMN==
In TRMN, the Monarch's Own (MO) serves as a way to honor RMA members for outstanding service to the organization. New appointments to the Monarch's Own are announced annually, and MO membership is capped at no more than 10% of the total RMA membership. The [[Royal Manticoran Navy]] equivalent is [[HMS Unconquered]].

Additionally, deceased RMA members may be added to the rolls of the Monarch's own as way to remember an honor those who have died.<ref>"4th Battalion serves in a similar capacity to the HMS Valhalla for RMA personnel who become deceased in the line of duty or who the RMA wish to honor as permanent members of the QO." [[Army_Directive_2006-01#1._The_Monarch’s_Own,_Unit_Makeup|See Army Directive 2006-01]]</ref> In this way, the Monarch's Own serves in a manner similar to [[HMS Valhalla]] in the [[Royal Manticoran Navy]].
