There may be those who, for various reasons, feel that a Noble Title would not be appropriate for them – but who nevertheless wish to be associated with The Prince and to share his ideals.
His Excellency, The Prince DOUGLAS, is willing to offer to worthy persons, the Favour of an Honorary Colonelcy in The Prince’s Own Hussars or The Prince’s Own Dragoons. These are Regiments of Honour, descended in principle from the lightly mounted Franco-Greek horse troops recruited from the local populace after the establishment of the Frankish Principalities in the 13th Century Latin Empire of Constantinople.
Since The Prince holds his fief as a Prince Palatine within the Empire, it is his pleasure to commemorate such horse troops by the issuing of Certificates of Investiture with the Title of Honorary Colonel. The Certificates issued are identical to those of the Nobility of the Principality.
