The Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment was formed on 9 September 1992. Through its ancestry via the Queen’s Royal Regiment, the PWRR is the most senior English line infantry regiment. The current regiment was named in honour of Diana, Princess of Wales. The museum collection traces the history of the Princess of Wales’s Royal Regiment, direct successor of twelve forbear regiments through four and a quarter centuries of service to the Crown. Starting in 1572 with the deployment of a Tudor company to support the Dutch in their war against the Spanish and the raising of a regiment in 1661 to garrison the North African port of Tangier, which earned the first ever awarded battle honour ‘Tangier 1662-80’ . A series of displays, interactive videos and recordings takes the visitor right up to the Regiment’s most recent operations in support of the UN and NATO.
