About the Badge
The Green Howards cap badge is among the most distinctive ever worn by a British infantry regiment, reflecting the regiment's long-standing association with Princess Alexandra of Denmark, later Queen Alexandra.
The design centres upon Princess Alexandra's personal cypher, superimposed over the Dannebrog (Cross of Denmark) in recognition of her Danish heritage. The cross bears the date 1875, marking the beginning of Princess Alexandra's formal association with the regiment, while the Roman numerals XIX commemorate the regiment's historic title as the 19th Regiment of Foot.
Above the central device sits Princess Alexandra's coronet, a unique feature that distinguishes this cap badge from almost every other in the British Army. Beneath, the flowing scroll proudly bears the regimental title "THE GREEN HOWARDS", completing a design renowned for its elegance, simplicity and unmistakable identity.
Unlike many later British Army cap badges that incorporate stars, wreaths or elaborate heraldic achievements, the Green Howards badge relies on its distinctive royal symbolism and clean composition, making it one of the most recognisable infantry insignia ever worn.
The Green Howards
Originally raised in 1688 by Colonel Francis Luttrell, the regiment later became the 19th Regiment of Foot before adopting the title The Green Howards (Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own Yorkshire Regiment). Throughout more than 300 years of service, its soldiers fought with distinction across Europe, North America, India, Africa and the Far East, earning an exceptional reputation for courage, discipline and professionalism.
In 2006, the regiment amalgamated with The Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire and The Duke of Wellington's Regiment to form The Yorkshire Regiment, ensuring the traditions and achievements of The Green Howards continue to be honoured today.
