It is the Waterloo Eagle which is one of the unique insignia of the "Blues and Royals" of the Household Cavalry, under which Cornet" Harry Wales" serves:

On full dress uniform (the one with the breast plate and dragoon helmet), it is worn on the upper left sleeve.

The "Waterloo Eagle" was worn proudly onthe full dress of "Blues and Royal" very much like the bearskin is worn by the Foot Guards, which was originally the headgear of Napoleon's Imperial Guards,  defeated by the Coldstream Guards at the Battle of Waterloo.

Dear Auxair

I am sorry but I could not see any German or Waterloo Eagle from your Url...same as the one Prince Harry wearing on the TV together withe the US Base Ball Cap.

Anyway, I do not know why we have to spending so much time on this kind of rubbish.

When Tony Blair said "We'll side by side with US" after 911.  It was realized UK and US at same side, follow US to attack other country.  Actually, London can avoid transport attack, just leave US away.  But this moment, PM was changed to Mr.White, some policy and situation will be changed.

Thanks B20...I feel that the UK is not side by side with the US but only following and running with the US.

其實佢可能得一頂cap帽~ 又或佢好鐘意後面句野~

但作英軍王子, 或作為陸軍軍官

都應該考慮到夠唔夠睇面既問題

就算塭個2x3 Union Jack '馮'於美旗上面都好easy~

旗差一著

可能係同人交換記念品, 用頂英帽換返來的
