Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment


The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (Queen's and Royal Hampshires) is an infantry regiment of the British Army. It was formed in 1992 by the amalgamation of two other regiments:

Through its ancestry via the Queen's Regiment, the PWRR is the most senior English infantry regiment. The current regiment was named in honour of the late Diana, Princess of Wales. In 2004, it was announced that, as part of the re-structuring of the infantry, the PWRR would merge with the Berkshire and Wiltshire elements (former Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment) of the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment. It was further announced in 2005 that this would not take place, and the PWRR would remain unaffected.

Victoria Cross

In 2005, Pte Johnson Beharry of the 1st Battalion, PWRR was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions during his unit's deployment to Al-Amarah, near Basrah. This was the first award of the VC since 1982.
