Styled Prince of Wales’s own Royal Regiment of Welsh Fuzeliers, 1714

The title first appeared in the London Gazette of 9-13 November, which stated that ‘His Majesty [George

I] has been pleased to appoint Major General Joseph Sabine to be Colonel of his Royal Highness the

Prince of Wales’s own Royal Regiment of Welsh Fuzeliers.’ This was the first time the Regiment was

connected intimately with the heir-apparent.
