The Grenadier Guards reportedly want the Duchess of Cambridge to replace Prince Andrew as their colonel.
It has been reported that senior officials in the 366-year-old regiment are eager for the Duchess to be the first female appointed to the ceremonial role.
The Queen took the role by default when she stripped Andrew of his military titles this month amid sexual assault allegations which he has denied.
The appointment is decided by the regiment and the queen.
A military source said: “The name of the new colonel was due to have been announced and it wasn’t the Duchess of Cambridge. That it wasn’t announced means they’ve been thinking about it again.”
