🇬🇧 NEW RELEASE — THE QUEEN’S ROYAL HUSSARS (QRH) 🇬🇧
I’m very pleased to finally add The Queen’s Royal Hussars (The Queen’s Own and Royal Irish) to the Precision Military Emblems range, with both Queen’s Crown and King’s Crown versions now available as standalone cap badge displays and in our deep shadow-box display frames.
This is a particularly interesting badge because its design carries forward elements from the distinguished regiments that came before today’s QRH.
🎖️ THE QUEEN’S ROYAL HUSSARS
The Queen’s Royal Hussars were formed on 1 September 1993 through the amalgamation of:
• The Queen’s Own Hussars
• The Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars
Those two regiments themselves carried forward the histories of the 3rd The King’s Own Hussars, 4th Queen’s Own Hussars, 7th Queen’s Own Hussars and 8th King’s Royal Irish Hussars, giving the modern Regiment a cavalry lineage stretching back more than three centuries.
Today, QRH remains the most senior armoured regiment in the British Army, continuing that historic cavalry tradition in the modern Royal Armoured Corps.
⚜️ THE HERALDRY OF THE CAP BADGE
At the centre of the badge is the distinctive Angel Harp, inherited from the 8th Hussars through the Queen’s Royal Irish Hussars.
The Museum of The Queen’s Royal Hussars records that the Angel Harp was bestowed upon the 8th Hussars because of the Regiment’s historic links with Ireland.
Behind the harp sits the elaborate Regimental Cypher inherited through The Queen’s Own Hussars.
The cypher dates back to 1727, when it was bestowed upon the regiment that would later become the 7th Queen’s Own Hussars.
When the modern QRH was created, these historic devices were brought together — the Angel Harp of the Royal Irish lineage placed upon the Queen’s Own cypher.
The result is a cap badge that does much more than identify the Regiment; it visibly preserves the heritage of the two regiments brought together in 1993.
👑 Above the harp and cypher sits the Royal Crown and lion, while the scroll beneath carries the title of The Queen’s Royal Hussars.
The blue and gold of the lower scroll, the intricate cypher, the harp and the crown make this one of the more detailed badges I’ve produced, and getting those individual elements properly defined has taken a considerable amount of work.
👑 QUEEN’S CROWN & KING’S CROWN
For this release I have produced both crown-era versions.
The Queen’s Crown version represents the familiar crown form used during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the era in which The Queen’s Royal Hussars were formed.
The King’s Crown version incorporates the Tudor Crown form now being introduced across military insignia during the reign of King Charles III.
Importantly, the Regiment remains The Queen’s Royal Hussars. The historic regimental title does not change simply because the Sovereign is now a King.

A huge amount of work has gone into this one, and I’m particularly pleased with how the Angel Harp, historic Queen’s Own cypher and crown detail have come together in the finished pieces.
