Duke of Cambridge's Hussars 1884
In April 1884 the Queen graciously honoured the Regiment with the title 'Middlesex (Duke of Cambridge's) Yeomanry Cavalry'.
There were many changes in the Yeomanry Force during the later years of the 19th century. The Squadron became the official unit. The Middlesex Yeomanry was formed of two squadrons, each with two troops, and the regiment was brigaded with the Royal Berkshire Yeomanry Cavalry, which formed the 1st Yeomanry Brigade.
