Medical Officer to The King

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Medical Officer to The King/Queen accompanies His/Her Majesty on overseas tour.

He is normally a senior Royal Navy surgeon. He is not, strictly, a member of the Medical Household of the Royal Household of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom.

During Royal Tours, he is described as "The Medical Officer to The King/Queen Abroad."
