The 2nd Lancers Regiment origins dates back to the creation of the Queen's Lancers Regiment, in 1833, by the constitutional Army during the Liberal Wars. The idea for the creation of the regiment came from the observation of the success that resulted from the lancers during the Napoleonic Wars. Since its creation the regiment became an elite unit, responsible for the escort of the royal family, being most of its force composed of aristocratic officers.
