As a Spaniard, hearing the comments of those country fellows of mine at the shout of the guardsman telling them off, I get very angry. They call him "rude" and say that "if he's got a problem, he should seek help..." At that moment, I only wished that the guy with the sword would start swinging it around like a samurai. I would love to see the whole group breaking in all directions and screaming for their lives! Keep doing a good job, guardsmen. You have my greatest sympathy and support. A Spanish Londoner.

I heard the comments too. Despicable behaviour. They also made rude comments on the guard who ordered them to move out of the way, referring to him as the 'fat one'.

Good

[@Zamandu]

Do you have proof? I want it to be true

[@sandrapierce9504]

I hope that is true, and I hope she never comes to the United States. Our Bison, Elk, and Grizzlies are not so forgiving!

[@karensinclair4189]

What a bold woman. She should be arrested for that.

[@allydalessi3371]

You slap or attack the horse you are effectively assaulting a member of the HHC which is a deffo NO NO - show some damn respect to our armed forces 🤬

[@paulroberts7561]

You may think the police look intimidating. But those guys in the red coats are the ones to be afraid of, very afraid.

[@timb.9224]

That's right, never mess with the Kings Guard.

[@steve00alt70]

@@timb.9224 yes the kings guards not the queen's

[@LabradorLady]

All these guards are from highly trained military backgrounds; I think you’re pretty stupid to mess about with them! Poxy tourists mucking around, posing in front of them, abusing the horses… arrest & prosecute!

[@DS-tj1vh]

There's a reason they are disrespected. It's about changing the easy access to have pictures with them. They don't as the establishment exists because of tourism these days. There for they are just props in people's pictures. They need to get new jobs if they don't want to be.

[@hazelangus]

@@DS-tj1vh I actually wonder if the fact that tourists annoy the crap out of them is part of the job. I mean, intrinsically part of the job. Not just that it happens all the time but that it's adding to their skills and training, or at least keeping their existing skills sharp. They need to be able to tell the difference between when to react and when not to, when a weapon may be drawn and when not, etc. When they're on a tour of duty overseas in a hostile environment, dealing with civilians is very much part of the job. They have to be able to keep their nerve and focus on what their particular task is. They may be surrounded by people who might not be aggressive in terms of being unsafe, but may be speaking languages the soldier doesn't understand, and there may be a lot of background noise. They need to be able to react appropriately in any situation, and I can imagine that dealing with annoying tourists is a transferable skill.

[@magiclife4839]

why are these ignorant people allowed to get away with abusing the horse and guard! they should be fined as this happens far to often.

[@cathryncampbell8555]

I wonder whether the brat who assaulted the horse was trying to create an Internet meme with her behaviour. Nowadays, teenagers will engage in aberrant behaviour for the sake of entertaining an audience online. Her actions were utterly unacceptable!

[@margiefortune8705]

Where do these people think they are and why do they feel so entitled to be rude AND cruel by slapping that beautiful horse THREE times. Kudos to the Royal Guard by letting her know that rudeness is not tolerated.

[@yvonnec6449]

And she was allowed to just walk away. Shame on her.

[@trumbleslum]

The girl who slapped the horse was just another lowlife doing what they do best.

[@andreag7822]

This has now gone beyond a joke. This is a working barracks, and the men, women and horses need respect and distance. It’s about time to barrier this area off now and NO ONE gets 🤬 photos. Try treating servicemen like this in any other country, see what you get. Sorry, rant over, but it makes me so angry

[@TisEyerish1]

The guard saw her do it the first time; he should have yelled immediately. As for her, she should have been removed from the area. It's time to start imposing fines on those who maul the guards and horses. Ultimately, money talks.

[@robertlangley1664]

It’s a pity she didn’t get her face slap

[@RyanPratten]

He had far more patience for that woman hitting his horse than I would have.

[@LRBerry]

Another clear demonstration of the lack of respect from people today.

[@beck1365]

At the other end of the spectrum- the teenaged boys’ behavior was excellent.

[@Tricia_K]

That's insane - how DARE she?!😡
