Yes, there are—RAOC and RASC spring to mind—but in each case AFAIK it’s the corps that is “royal” rather than the Army (blame Oliver Cromwell?). But this is a country where the charity preventing cruelty to animals is “Royal” but the one preventing cruelty to children isn’t, so who knows what the logic is, if any? Protocol nonsense aside, the sellers’ “Royal Army Logistics Corps” didn’t work and we still have’t come up with an answer!
