Royal Horse Guards - Red Backing?
Hi,
Just a quick question - did the Royal Horse Guards wear a red/scarlet backing or insert behind the cypher on their badge? Cheers |

Not to my knowledge but they have been added for display in a collection or 2.

Not something that I have ever seen upon the beret or Service Dress cap during any period, but, you do encounter this sort of thing from time to time, I always assume done by a particular collector and former owner of the badge concerned.

H.Cav. Regt.
The mounted and armoured elements of the regiment wear the Household Brigade flash on the beret behind their respective cap badges.o

I think that practice came about in the late 1980s, long after the Royal Horse Guards amalgamated with the Royal Dragoons (1st Dragoons) to form the Blues & Royals (1969).
