The Royal Lancers (Queen Elizabeths' Own) is a cavalry regiment of the British Army.
It serves in the 1st Deep Reconnaissance Strike Brigade Combat Team.
[1] This was intended to be replaced by the Ajax (Scout SV) from 2019;[8] however, after considerable delays, British Army trials of the Ajax were paused in the summer of 2021 due to excessive vibration.
It has directly or indirectly inherited the traditions of the six British lancer regiments that were in existence until a series of amalgamations began in 1922.
[18] The historic lance, complete with pennant, is still carried by detachments of the regiment on ceremonial occasions.
