The RHA wear a Dark Blue Beret
The Kings Troop RHA are part of the Household Division, and if anything would wear that Beret Backing of Blue/Red/Blue |

Thats where my beret went!
The beret in the picture does indeed bear the blue/yellow/blue badge backing for the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment [although in the early days a few hamster badges were spotted on them]. The beret colour is correct for that regiment, how on earth it sported a Royal Artillery badge is beyond me. No hang on, cant be my beret, far too small [said it before you Marc].

Take the PWRR flash off and put a standard RA BERET badge on and you have a beret similar to that worn by members of 4/73 Speical OP Bty RA.
No beret badge backing is worn by any member of Royal Regiment of Artillery. Marc |

Having served with 3 regiments of the RA (5 Lt, 32 Lt and 42 Fld) and encountered several more while in REME workshops I can only say that I never saw a backing on a RA beret.

Two examples here - the first was worn by a LBdr in 113 Fd Regt RA in 1944/45. The second, an officer's badge, I cannot attribute:
