The regiment was raised in Hertfordshire in 1715, in the midst of the First Jacobite Rebellion, but remained in England until it was sent to Scotland to face the second such rebellion 30 years later. It then returned to England, where it remained until deploying to Germany in 1759 for the Seven Years’ War.
It fought at Warburg in 1760, but then returned to England for another long period. However, this era included several important events in the regiment’s history. In 1783 George III ordered it to switch from dragoons to light dragoons and renamed it after his eldest son the Prince of Wales, who became its colonel in 1796. Impressed by the colourful uniforms of the French and Allied cavalry, the Prince of Wales renamed, re-clothed and re-equipped the regiment as Britain’s first ever hussar unit in 1806 and remained its colonel until his coronation as George IV in 1820.
In 1808 the regiment sailed for the Peninsula, where it was used to screen Sir John Moore’s retreat to Corunna (1809). During that operation it captured 100 French cavalry on Christmas Day, as well as fighting at Benavente, where Private Grisdall of the regiment captured General Lefebvre-Desnoettes, the French cavalry’s commander-in-chief. It was evacuated with the rest of the army in January 1809 and only returned to the Peninsula in 1813, fighting its way into France.

It fought in the Waterloo campaign of 1815, where one of its patrols brought Wellington news of the Prussian retreat at Wavre, and then joined the Army of Occupation in Paris for a year. It then spent 30 years in England, with the exception of two squadrons which were sent to Portugal in 1826.
Like most regiments, the rest of its 19th century was spent alternating between Britain and India. In the latter it fought in the Second Afghan War and the 1909 North West Frontier campaign. On one voyage back from India to England, in 1884, it was diverted to fight in the Sudan.
In 1897 the regiment took part in Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee parade and two years later deployed to South Africa for five years. It then deployed from India to the Western Front in 1914, remaining there throughout the First World War. The regiment then served in Ireland in 1919 on peacekeeping duties. In 1931 the regiment was disbanded due to recent technological advances meaning that cavalry was being replaced by modern armored units.

About us
Here in the 8th Royal Cavalry we believe that respect, fun and loyalty are essential components to make a regiment work. We base ourselves on the rule that real life comes first . at the end of the day its a game and we are here to have fun!
Our aims in the short term are to get some fresh blood into the regiment and carry on building our reputation in events. In the long term we wish to become a large sized Cavalry Detachment who's focus is skill / dedication / quality rather than quantity, each recruit will be personally trained to ensure maximum effectiveness however high skill is not a requirement to join. Hopefully as time goes on we will grow and continue to show the community that we are a force to be reckoned with!
Ranking system
There will be a points system in place for all regiment members, points will be based on attending events and recruitment. However promotions will not be done purely by points (even though a high point count will certainly help) it will also be done on behavior, discipline and skill (For enlisted). Non Commissioned promotions will be based on activity, loyalty, behavior and leadership qualities. Officer promotions will be only for the longest serving members who have proved that they have the ability to lead in the Col's absence and that they can conduct themselves in a mature / respectful manner.
