Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment (PWRR) Bronze Cap Badge

Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment (PWRR) bronze cap badge, an original example of British Army headdress insignia associated with the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment, the senior English line infantry regiment of the British Army.

The badge features the regiment’s distinctive dragon and rose with the Prince of Wales’s plumes in a bronze finish, derived from the badge of the former Queen’s Regiment and Royal Hampshire Regiment, reflecting the regiment’s proud lineage and traditions. The design serves as a visible symbol of regimental identity and embodies the heritage of the historic infantry regiments from which the PWRR was formed.

Cap badges of this type are worn on military headwear by officers and other ranks of the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment, serving as an important element of regimental dress and esprit de corps. The bronze finish provides a practical and subdued appearance suitable for modern military service while retaining the distinctive character of the regiment’s insignia.

The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment was formed in 1992 through the amalgamation of the Queen’s Regiment and the Royal Hampshire Regiment. The regiment inherited a rich military heritage spanning numerous predecessor units with service histories extending back to the seventeenth century. Since its formation, the PWRR has served on operational deployments across the world, including Northern Ireland, Iraq, Afghanistan, and various peacekeeping and security missions.

Manufactured in bronze-finished metal with original attachment fittings to the reverse, this example represents an attractive piece of modern British infantry insignia.
