While some somewhat amusing, I don't see a need for the dramatic italicization of "extra" chaplains. |

An Honorary Chaplain to the King is a member of the clergy within the United Kingdom who, through long and distinguished service, is appointed to minister to the monarch of the United Kingdom. When the reigning monarch is female, Honorary Chaplains are known as Honorary Chaplains to the Queen. As of 2008[update] there are 33 appointees.[1] They are also known as Honorary Chaplains to the Sovereign.[2]
Honorary Chaplains wear a scarlet cassock and a special bronze badge consisting of the royal cypher and crown within an oval wreath. The badge is worn below medal ribbons or miniature medals during the conduct of religious services on the left side of the scarf by chaplains who wear the scarf and on academic or ordinary clerical dress by other chaplains.[3]
Ten ministers of the Church of Scotland are appointed as Chaplains to the King in Scotland.[4]
The monarch may also, as circumstances dictate, appoint extra chaplains.[5]
