Household Division ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Comprising seven regiments of the British Army – the Foot Guards (Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish, Welsh) and the Household Cavalry (The Life Guards, The Blues and Royals) – the Household Division serves as Her Majesty's Guard. These regiments are entrusted with the sovereign's personal protection and ceremonial duties at royal palaces, embodying centuries of tradition. Beyond their iconic scarlet tunics and bearskins, they remain operationally deployable combat units. Their dual role as both ceremonial symbols of the Crown and frontline soldiers reflects a unique blend of heritage and modern military readiness, dating to the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace remains their most visible duty, a ritual honouring their constitutional role.
