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."
... So a special word of thanks is due to the Medical Officer who, in most of my time reporting royal tours, travelled abroad with The Queen and who was always kind to correspondents and cameramen in need: the then Surgeon-Captain Norman Blacklock.
