One of the members of the British Royal Guard literally yelled at a tourist who touched the reins of her horse to take a photo. The scene was filmed and went viral on Tik Tok.
It is a big mistake to think that members of the British Royal Guard are as “lethargic” as they look from sitting motionless on their horses for hours. As tourists jostle at the gates of Buckingham Palace, one of them suffered the wrath of a Royal Horse Guards. In wanting to pose at his side, a woman grabbed the reins of her horse, which greatly displeased the British guard. Accustomed to remaining walled in silence, he literally yelled at him: “ Stand clear of the royal guard! Don’t touch the reins! “. A surprising scene which startled the tourists present and which was filmed by Ethan, the son-in-law of the reprimanded tourist. Posted on TikTok, the video has been seen more than 5 million times. ” A Queen’s Guard verbally attacks my mother-in-law”, he commented. But a number of Internet users came to the defense of the guard and recalled that the British Royal Guard ” is not disneyland “, neither ” an attraction for tourists “.

The Sovereign’s security is ensured by these soldiers who also accompany her on the move. The protocol is therefore very strict: tourists can take pictures with the guards, but it is forbidden to touch or feed the horses as specified on a sign nearby.
