What It's Really Like to Be a Member of the Royal Guard

The Royal Guards have become one of the sights and symbols of London and the UK. There are many myths and famous facts connected with their job and rules: like, for example, that they aren't allowed to talk. Turns out, it's possible, but only in very specific circumstances: if people get too close to them or become aggressive. You'll also never see one of them smiling for a selfie as they're not even allowed to chuckle! And it was rumored that if they do, they'll receive a fine of about $200.

3:40 The reason we took them up is because the grenadiers defeated the French at Waterloo and wore their hats as a way to remember it! Also the chinstraps don’t serve much of a purpose anymore, they were to protect soldiers faces from cavalry sabres.

[@Abdul_Edryan_Raoul]

It’s actually the KING’S guard now…..

I think the head guard is made for that, in case someone drops down flat on floor, the head is saved!

[@IbrahimAdamWorld]

I always feel bad for them.. it’s inhumane. No bathroom breaks, no water break, no chair to take a min rest. 😏

[@lucyarem]

Imagine if they accidentally uses the bathroom on themself.🤣

It's - MAKE WAY OF THE KINGS QUARDS!

[@ewanlargue]

Most of the information in this video is incorrect. For example, the Grenadier Guards have a WHITE plume on left side of the bearskin, and, there are only FIVE regiments that wear the bearskin - The Grenadiers, The Coldstream, The Irish, The Scots and The Welsh. Please double check the information you already have.

[@averyrandomdude7468]

That's not most but I see that your talking about.

[@cayden686]

So the guards actually don’t stay in the same place when it rains they stand inside there sentry box

[@vinzmigueldumaguin7377]

The Grenadier guards have a white plum

[@danielledewitt1]

Kings guards actually.

[@glennlee6987]

Incorrect. Their hats weigh approximately 0.7 kilograms / 1.5 lb.... NOT the NINE (9) pounds stated in the video.

[@robnewman6101]

Its a really Difficult job life to be a British Army Royal Foot Guard. Not easy atoll.

Sadly yes.

[@bunny_cookie3526]

the guards:💀

[@nicholasgeorge4156]

If they are never allowed to move or talk much then obviously people could just get right by them. You’d think guards would be allowed to move freely. Especially hauling tail if anyone runs away from them.

[@ThatOneAntiFurryPenguin.]

They are allowed to move and speak but ONLY when someone is getting top close to them or the palace

[@Snowpawstherian]

So what happened if a kid wanted to join the British guards

Depends on what duty and where your stationed. on ceremonial duties, (at Buckingham palace) you are placed in the barracks beside the palace. If not you go into Wellington barracks. But there’s much more barracks
