There are two Gurkha officers who directly attend official state and key events with the Queen. They are called the Queen's Gurkha Orderly Officers, and they've been present at all state affairs since the Gurkha's introduction during Queen Victoria's reign.
They are appointed as Members of the Royal Victorian Order, or MVO, on relinquishing the appointment - a little-known and very rare post-nominal abbreviation!
