3 CANADIAN MILITARY REGIMENTS WITHOUT ROYAL PATRON AFTER PRINCE ANDREW STRIPPED OFF TITLES

Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada:

Three Canadian regiments have been left without a patron after the Queen on Thursday stripped Prince Andrew of all his military titles and royal patronages.



The Duke of York was the honorary colonel-in-chief of: the Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada, which has its armoury in Cambridge, Ont.; the Princess Louise Fusiliers, based in Halifax; and the Queen's York Rangers, which has armouries in Toronto and Aurora, Ont.



Canadian Armed Forces have confirmed that those titles have now been "relinquished" by the prince, the Queen's second oldest son.
