Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment (PWRR) enamelled cap badge, an example of British Army regimental insignia associated with the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment.
Manufactured in gilt and silver-plated metal with blue enamel detailing, this cap badge features the distinctive insignia of the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment, incorporating the regiment’s traditional emblem with a finely enamelled finish. Worn on various forms of regimental headdress, enamelled versions of the cap badge were commonly produced for ceremonial dress, regimental wear, and commemorative purposes and are highly regarded for their attractive appearance and quality craftsmanship.
The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment was formed on 9 September 1992 through the amalgamation of the Queen’s Regiment and the Royal Hampshire Regiment. As the senior English line infantry regiment, it inherited the customs, battle honours, and traditions of its predecessor regiments, whose histories extend back to the seventeenth century.
Since its formation, the regiment has served on operations across the globe, including deployments to Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan, Cyprus, the Falkland Islands, and numerous United Nations and NATO peacekeeping missions. Known as “The Tigers”, the regiment has established a strong reputation for professionalism and operational excellence while maintaining close links with the counties from which it recruits.
Manufactured in metal with coloured enamel and retaining its original attachment fittings to the reverse, this example represents an authentic and attractive piece of contemporary British regimental history.
