Corporal of the Horse and Master Tailor Adam Blackmore-Heal makes adjustments to a uniform in preparation for the Royal wedding. The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment will provide a travelling escort for the newly wed Prince Henry of Wales and his bride Ms Meghan Markle through Windsor on 19th May. The event which will be broadcast live globally, will be a matter of huge pride and professional honour for the soldiers responsible and work is already underway behind the scenes to ensure they deliver a performance to make the nation and their brother officer proud. Prince Harry joined The Blues and Royals in April 2006 and served with the Household Cavalry Regiment, serving operationally in the frontline in Afghanistan and rising to the rank of Captain.

Today the world’s media got a glimpse behind the scenes at the regiment’s Hyde Park Barracks in Knightsbridge. It helped them to understand the painstaking effort these soldiers go to to prepare their equipment and horses to an impeccable standard for ceremonial duties.
