Royal Regiment Of Wales

The Royal Regiment of Wales (24th/41st Foot) was an infantry regiment of the British Army, part of the Prince of Wales' Division. It was formed in 1969 by the amalgamation of The South Wales Borderers and The Welch Regiment.

Prince Charles was appointed Colonel-in-Chief of the new regiment in early 1969, his first Army appointment. The amalgamation parade of the two regiments took place in Cardiff Castle in early 1969, in front of Prince Charles.

On 1 March 2006 it was announced that, as part of the reorganisation of the infantry, "The Royal Welch Fusiliers and The Royal Regiment of Wales (24th/41st Foot) together will form The Royal Welsh." This occurred on 1 March 2006, St David's Day, the national day of Wales.
