Happy Birthday to His Majesty The King, Charles III.

HM The King, accompanied by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, Colonel of The Blues and Royals, presented the new Sovereign’s Standard to The Blues and Royals in a special ceremony on Thursday 15th June 2023.

The presentation took place in the Quadrangle of Buckingham Palace, just two days ahead of the Regiment’s role providing the Sovereign’s Escort at The King’s Birthday Parade - the first for 70 years - on 17th June 2023.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest we forget. 🌺

We spent a whole day decorating this tree and listening to Christmas songs (in October) just to get this video for you. While we thought Carols at Kings was a bit much for October, it was WELL worth it. And now you can buy them! Have a look at the shop on my website 🎉🎉🎉 www.zoecarmichael.art/shop - 10% of sales supporting the Household Cavalry Foundation. 💙❤️💙 Thank you @charlotte.d.howell and @nickysansom for being the best!🎄🎄🎄

It’s time! All change in London as our ceremonial soldiers move into Winter Guard Order as the clocks go back an hour. Gone are the scarlet and blue tunics, replaced by Atholl grey greatcoats and scarlet or blue cavalry cloaks. Which are your favourites?#londondistrict #britisharmy #theguards #householdcavalry

Dinner and (very heavy) Drums at The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment

On Thursday 19th September, the Master, together with the Master Farrier and Master Saddler, was entertained to dinner by the officers of the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment at Knightsbridge Barracks. Before dinner, along with our Clerks, we were given a tour of the Farriers' forge, the Saddlers' workshop and the ceremonial uniform store. In each area, we were given a very informative talk by one of the staff and the Master had a good hack and swing with an officer’s sword (a very expensive item!)

The final part of our tour was to the stables, where we met 'Atlas', one of the cavalry's Drum Horses and the largest horse in the army at 19 hands and nearly 9 feet to the top of his head. By tradition, Drum Horses are given names from classical mythology and Atlas is one of four currently used by the Household Cavalry, together with Juno, Perseus and Apollo. As well as carrying the Drum Major himself, Atlas carries two solid silver kettle drums. These were originally presented to Royal Horse Guards by King George III in 1805 and they each weigh 52kg.After the tour, the guests were treated to a wonderful dinner in the Officers’ Mess and had a chance to admire the many paintings of officers, including one of our Gallant Clerk, Colonel Crispin Lockhart, in full uniform. It was a very enjoyable and generous occasion from the Officers of the HCMR.

Master, George Anderson
