''Queen's Regulations'' (first published in 1731 and known as ''King's Regulations'' when the United Kingdom has a king) are a collection of orders and regulations in force in the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force, and Commonwealth Forces, where the Queen is Head of State, forming guidance for officers of these armed services in all matters of discipline and personal conduct.
