Two soldiers from the same Army regiment as Prince Harry are due to appear in court charged with raping a 17-year-old girl in a park.
Trooper Adam Bray, 20, and Trooper David Wright, 25, were arrested on Tuesday at the Blues and Royals' central London barracks after the teenager alleged she had been attacked in Green Park on Saturday.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said the two men will appear in custody at City of Westminster Magistrates' Court.
They are each charged with three counts of rape in connection with the alleged attack on the teenager.
Prince Harry is due to rejoin the Blues and Royals this month after completing his troop commander's course at Bovington Camp in Dorset. His brother, Prince William - currently at Sandhurst - is due to follow him into the same regiment next year.
The Blues and Royals with the Life Guards make up the Household Cavalry, the Army's oldest regiment. They have two reconnaissance squadrons based at Combermere Barracks in Windsor, Berkshire, and a mounted squadron at barracks near Hyde Park in London.
Both the soldiers charged with rape are from the mounted unit - the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment - the Ministry of Defence (MoD) said.
An MoD spokeswoman confirmed that the soldiers had been charged and would be appearing in court.
Soldiers of the Blues and Royals have served in many fields, including Northern Ireland, Germany and Cyprus, the Falklands, the Gulf War, Bosnia and Kosovo.
Recently its troopers were sent to Iraq and suffered casualties shortly after the war began.
