The Queen's Royal Lancers (QRL) is a cavalry regiment of the British Army. It was formed in 1993 by the amalgamation of two other regiments:

16th/5th Queen's Royal Lancers
17th/21st Lancers

From its formation, the regiment served in the armoured role with first Challenger 1, then Challenger 2. However, in 2005, as part of the re-organisation of the army, the regiment started converting to the formation reconnaissance role, re-equipping with the FV107 Scimitar armoured reconnaissance vehicle.

The Queens Royal Lancers are due to remain in Catterick for the foreseeable future and
continue to prepare for operations to Afghanistan, whilst supporting training and operations for the wider Army.
