A member of the Queen’s guard on horseback screaming at tourists in London has sparked a discussion after a video of the incident went viral on social media. It happened after two women outside Buckingham Palace were seen posing for pictures and got too close to the horse.
As the photo is being taken, the woman reaches over and holds the horse’s reins, causing the animal to become visibly disturbed. Reacting to it, the soldier shouts out, “Stand back from the Queen’s lifeguard, don’t touch the reins!”
The loud scream startles the blonde-haired woman, who quickly moves away in shock after being shouted at.
The footage of the incident was initially uploaded on TikTok by user Ethan (@_phigs) who vowed not to return to London following the incident. On Twitter, the clip has got more that 2,40,000 views. Another video, which was posted on TikTok, shows another guard yelling in the same way at a woman in sunglasses and a pink checked top, reported news.com.au. Reacting to the video, a user wrote that the guard was right.
Another wrote that he had met one of the Queen’s Guard and as a veteran himself, he could tell that the guard was tough enough. The Queen (Elton John) hired good men, he added.
“I can understand why he yelled. If millions of tourists keep pulling the leash on the horse, it would be chaos,” wrote the third.
“Safety first!” wrote another user.
A user even called the woman ‘stupid’ and asked if she thought it to be a statue.
Another asserted that the Queen’s guards don’t mess up.
