A lot of this is fairly misleading or just perpetuating myths, military prison is a potential punishment for any soldier in the Army, but it's reserved for only the worst offences. Making a guard laugh would at most be a fine from their pay, although from what I've heard, these days that's probably unlikely too, probably depends more on who notices if they do.

They're also human beings. I was in London with my goddaughter, we were trying to find a pub somewhere around the Palace to meet up with mates and were incredibly lost. The Queen's Guards don't just man the front gates, they're all around the property. My goddaughter was close to tears, we couldn't find anyone else to ask, not another soul around, so I went up to the guard and said, "I know you're not supposed to move or anything, but we're looking for XYZ street and completely turned around. Could you like maybe just flick your eyes in the right direction? Please?" He stood completely rigid for a few seconds, then smiled, and - like any normal human being - said "go down that way for two streets, turn left, and it'll be just past ABC shop on the right." Went back to being a statue while my goddaughter gawped in astonishment. "Thank you so much, thank you!" And off we went. My goddaughter couldn't stop telling that story for weeks.

The only indication I've seen that they're human beings was that time the Royal family was doing some big event on live TV in the summer, and one of the guards overheated and fainted (dropping his Bayonet rifle and losing his fuzzy helmet-hat.) For all I knew, they were robots; I half-expected them to have windup keys hidden under their hats, like the tin soldiers you'd see in old tv shows.

The old notion of “would you like that if someone did it to you?” applies here I think. As an American I would not appreciate tourists disrespecting my country and our traditions, therefore I would not dare to do the same when visiting another nation.

They get fined, fired and sent off to military prison.

I'm not sure why you think Guardsmen are not allowed to move. They stand still only for about 10 minutes while on duty and are allowed to walk/march short distances to keep the blood circulating. If caught smiling by an officer they can be fined from their wages, but certainly not imprisoned. They may require to pee during duty, as in hot weather they are encouraged to drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration and fainting.

Royal Grenadier Guards do NOT get Arrested when smiling ON DUTY, They are Fined £200.

I once saw a video of some American tourist who tried to touch a Royal Guard's hat. It didn't end well. In one movement, the guard moved his foot behind the offender's, gave him a shove, and as the guy hit the ground, he wound up with a rifle in his face and the bayonet about an inch away from his nose with the guard booming "STAND DOWN!" Talk about scary-good. Those guys are weapons.

After ramming the gate their vehicle stops working so these guys get out and charge for the front doors "where is the front 2 guards and the door guard" you may ask, ah well one tried to shoot the vehicle and landed a few shots however missed his target because he was wearing an animal over his eyes, and the second one passed out while making a dash towards the truck. Which resulted in one of the 2 dieing, (one went unchecked with heat stroke for several hours and the other hit by the truck he barely saw) The front door guards attempted to put up a fight againsed the (lets say 4 men in a bullet proof vest and a t shirt and cargo pants) these 4 men easily take down these trained killers by simply knocking them down with a gun, these guards r tired from just working 1 hour 50 minutes in the scorching sun and are exausted, one attempts to raise his gun to shoot but because of his thick and heavy clothes he didnt raise his arm in time and died. These men make it inside where they are gunned down because im sure interior floor security is wearing normal bullet proof vests and sports suits (normal looking suits for a professional look but are actually rather stretchy and allow for gymnastics).... I fabricated the last part, but im just saying you may not make it to actually kill the queen no matter how hard one may try, but the presidents white house is much more secure and has stronger personel at hand because they arent arrogant enough to force their fighters into the damn flag just rep their country (or patriotic enough? idk i dont think im using the right term but you know what i mean)

My uncle was a Welsh Guard, I never knew what he fully went through too do his service. He certainly was very disciplined which he carried throughout his life. ❤️❤️

Great video!

I'm a US Navy veteran and have empathy for the Royal Guard. I ve had to stand motionless in certain ceremonies. It's not fun. While we wouldn't likely go to prison for slightly moving, we were expected to be as still as possible. Why do people think that screwing with a guard of any military organization is a good idea? That is highly disrespectful and a bit loony. I've been an armed guard at a post. Luckily for me I was free to move about. I would snap to attention when I checked ID'S at the gate and render the proper salute when required. I'm lucky that the general public had enough since to mess with me. I had a loaded pistol and a ratio for backup.

Messing with anyone who is doing there job is rude, and asking for trouble. I think the judicial punishment should always be having to do the other person's job for a day, and do it well, or do it all over again, whatever the job may be.

My grandfather and father were Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace which is a part of the British Army. My dad did not talk a lot about his time in the guards but I do remember him saying that they had to polish the soles of their boots. The height requirement was 6’2” or taller so I was surprised to learn the height requirement has been reduced. This was an interesting article but I am not sure all of the info is correct.

My father was also a Coldstream Guard and was on duty at Buckingham Palace when Elizabeth and Margaret were girls. He was also on guard at The Tower of London and The Bank of England. He served in Palestine and on his way home had to fight in North Africa, including Tobruk and El Alamein. He used to drive a Bren Gun Carrier and drove senior officers in a staff car. He was shot twice. Shaved with petrol to save water and made tea with the water from radiators of damaged vehicles. He told me that wooden and cardboard replicas of tanks and vehicles were placed so that the enemy could see how well equipped the British were. But this ploy was seen through by them as they actually flew over and dropped wooden bombs on them. I wish I could remember everything he told me about it all, I know there was a lot he never let on. I am so proud of him and miss him every day. I have his medals, and a booklet he carried, in his breast pocket, along with other papers and his Guardsman's tie (Which due to never having been a Guard myself, I am forbidden to wear on any occasion.) Rest in Peace Dad. 11.7.19 - 26.8.95.

@@tonycritcher3419 I read with great interest your post. My father was also a Coldstream Guard when the princesses were little girls. He was born in 1918 so they were very close age wise, in their experiences. My father went on to be a commando in the Royal Navy during WWII. In 1954 he moved our family to Canada but the guards were always a very important part of his life. Unfortunately he passed away from multiple myeloma at the age of 45. I believe he was exposed to radiation during a WWII raid in Norway leading to an early death.

@@quesnelgirl My goodness, our fathers may well have known each other and been on duty together. So sorry to see that your father died so young after being exposed to the radiation in his line of duty. War and conflicts are awful things. And so much is lost and often so little is gained. My father always felt guilty about being able to come home having lost so many mates at such young ages too. As for polishing boots, they used to use a hot spoon to smooth the leather to get a better shine. His father was also in the services and told dad that he had to polish the instep underneath his shoes, which I still do, on the occasions where I wear black shoes. As Grandad used to say, 'you never know who is walking behind you and can see the bottom of your shoes!' Thank you for replying, yours was the first post I read and replied to today.

I spent two years in Aden in the early sixties and we had the Coldstream Guards and other Guards units serving with us. It was a bit hairy at the time and we used to escort them on their patrols in Habilayn Dhala and the Radfan. I was in the Royal Corps of Transport and were concerned with troop movements and forward supplies of food and ammunition etc.

For some strange reason you have included clips of the Danish Guard. You also need to do some better research on the Guards. The Royal Guard, that is the guard mounted on the monarch’s location, is drawn from the current Guard Regiment based in London. The Guard can also be mounted by Royal Engineers, Ghurkas, Royal Artillerymen, and even Commonwealth troops.

As a former German conscript we were taught how to stand still for up to two hours. We had to learn how to move so slowly that it looked like we did not move at all. Our pledge ceremony was held in hot summer and one of us 'fainted to attention' as well.

My 101% utmost respect to those elite guards/soldiers! ❤️🙏🏻👍🏻

Why would anyone think that it’s okay to interrupt, harass and humiliate someone simply doing a job ? Is there really anyone out there who would like to be treated this way randomly…?

Massive amounts of respect!

Just to point out, most of the information in this video is flat out made up, if not wrong. There is no jail sentence for making a guard smile or talk. There is no height requirement for signing up for it - any soldier can do so, whether they get in or not is up to the quality of the application. British soldiers are, compartive to other armies, well trained but not only the elite and most decorated war heroes perform duty as guard. They are not necessarily the most elite well trained soldiers. It's not like they're all Marines, Paras and SAS. Any soldier that has served some tours of duty can do it. I mean he repeats throughout the video "most elite and decorated" it's not the case. They don't have to be from one of 7 specific regiments of the army, also I don't know what he means with "exclusive" regiments like they're some sort of club? Weird description. They aren't picked, they volunteer for it, he got that wrong too. Their ceremonial uniforms are not worn in combat, only at their guard posts and patrols. There is no "English" army, it's British. There's a lot of talk about "Sacred Oaths" and "Ancient orders" hahahahaha they aren't the Knights Templar they're soldiers im uniform. Many of the clips aren't showing real guards, but what look like actors. And Guards from other countries. But other than that, yeah accurate video!

The Guards and Household Cavalry are no "toy soldiers". They are members of regular regiments doing a "ceremonial turn". My father was in the cavalry, the fellas on horseback with armour and swords, but when not doing a turn at royal residences he was sat in a tank wearing khaki.
