PWOR Unit SO THE PRINCESS OF WALES’ OWN REGIMENT – KEY APPOINTMENTS COLONEL-IN-CHIEF References: A. LFCO 11-50 Royal Appointments B. CFA0 3-4 Honorary Appointments and Honorary Ranks GENERAL 1. The position of Colonel-in-Chief is an honorary appointment and serves as the titular head of the Regiment. The Colonel-in-Chief is a patron that serves as a personal link between the Regiment and the Monarch. The authority to appoint a Colonel-in-Chief is detailed at reference B. The appointment of a Colonel-in-Chief is, normally, lifelong. No successor to the appointment shall be sought while the incumbent is willing and able to continue service. SELECTION 2. As every Regiment has its own unique history, the Princess of Wales’ Own Regiment is no different, and this background is reflected in the selection criteria for the appointment of Colonel-in- Chief. For the Regiment that draws its name from the Princess of Wales, an obvious preference exists for a Colonel-in-Chief from the Royal Family. It should be noted that the Princess of Wales is a courtesy title given to the spouse of the Prince of Wales, and as such, is a position that has not always been occupied. Selection shall be restricted to the following; a. The Princess of Wales’ Own Regiment shall only seek a Colonel-in-Chief from the Royal Family, b. A preference exists for a member of the Royal Family who has a direct link to the appointment of Princess of Wales, be it the spouse of the Prince of Wales who holds the title of Princess of Wales’ or another member of the Prince of Wales’ immediate family. 3. If there is no suitable and willing candidate meeting the above criteria, the appointment of Colonel-in-Chief shall remain vacant. THE PRINCESS OF WALES 4. While the Regiment has known four Princesses of Wales during its history, only one has served as our Colonel-in-Chief, that being Diana, Princess of Wales. Alexandra of Denmark gifted the Regiment with the privilege of using her title as the name of our Regiment, but did not serve as Colonel-in-Chief. 1 NUNQUAM CEDE | This SO last reviewed by OCdt Bruce on 23 February 2018 .

Honorary Colonel and Lieutenant-Colonel
PWOR Unit SO THE PRINCESS OF WALES’ OWN REGIMENT – KEY APPOINTMENTS HONORARY COLONEL AND LIEUTENANT-COLONEL References: A. Queen’s Regulations and Orders (QR&O) Volume 1 Chapter 3 – Rank, Seniority, Command, and Precedence B. CFAO 3-4 Honorary Appointments and Honorary Ranks C. CA Order 11-09 – CA Honorary Appointments Canadian Army D. Reference Guide for Commanding Officers/Commandants and Honorary Appointments (Director Special Appointments) BACKGROUND 1. The tradition of having an Honorary Colonel drawn from the local gentry is the basis of the current system of honorary appointments found within the Canadian Army Reserve. Indeed, the Princess of Wales’ Own Regiment (PWOR) has had an honorary appointment as either a Colonel or Lieutenant-Colonel since 1898, during the South African War years. Early in the 20th Century the Prime Minister of Canada, Sir Robert Borden, described the practice of appointing honoraries as, “of greatest advantage to the Militia to be able to enlist the interest and sympathy of gentlemen of position and wealth by connecting them to Regiments.” 2. The policy of honorary appointments for corps, branches, formations, regiments, and units continues to this day with the express purpose of expanding the pool of talent available to advise and assist commanders and commanding officers. Honoraries are appointed from distinguished Canadians who have served Canada in any of a variety of fields, including business, politics, the arts, sport, education, entertainment, or through previous military service. In the PWOR, they are expected to take a passionate interest in the well-being of the Regiment and its soldiers. They lead the Regimental Senate, and both publicly and privately pursue the interests of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), the Canadian Army (CA), and their Regiment.
