This was in 1946, thus I assume it was the king and not the queen at that time who had to approve.
I have read the same story, but in a more neutral form not mentioning the king directly, that the regiment was told that
something above the crown would not be allowed (not explaining why it was there already for more then thirty years).
And there exists a KC version of the badge without the sunburst.
