Tourists frequently pay attention to the Kings Guard, also known as the Queens Guard when the current monarch is a woman, which is stationed outside Buckingham Palace and St. Jamess Palace in London. In an effort to take pictures, tourists frequently stand near to them. It is, however, forbidden to annoy guards by trying to talk to them or touch them. People are cautioned to keep their distance from the Kings Guard installations by several written warnings. Even so, a lot of individuals still place their hands over the guards or their horses as they pose for pictures.I know I shouldnt laugh 😂 pic.twitter.com/tcqKNFZs6P— Darren Grimes (@darrengrimes_) May 21, 2024Kings guards and horses A video of a woman posing for a picture next to a horse-mounted Kings guard has gone viral recently. The horse instantly turns to face the woman and tries to bite her when she puts her hand on him. Fortunately, the woman narrowly avoids being bitten by the horse. Then, after gathering herself, she walks off the scene. Since it was uploaded on May 21, this undated video has had over seven lakh views on X, making it a viral sensation.Netizens make some royal pointsAn X user commented on it, saying, The Royal Guard Horses are not fond of being stroked or petted. They prefer that people avoid them. There are, I think, even signs that read, Do not approach or touch the horses. She should be relieved that the horse did not bite her after pushing her with its snout. I do not understand why they want to touch the horse or even have a photo with the Royal Guard. It is like going to a store and taking a photo with the cashier, another individual remarked. Give them space to complete their tasks. When on duty, the Kings Guards are expected to remain composed in all situations. They cannot communicate with the public unless they issue a strong warning. They are also forbidden from grinning or even wiping away perspiration. To get chuckles and likes, people frequently play around with their rigid protocol.Im on duty, bugger off!— lockstepcharlie (@lockstepcharlie) May 21, 2024This horse is racist.— FuturologistX (@FuturologistX) May 21, 2024The Royal Guard Horses do not like to be touched or petted. They like people to keep their distance. I believe there are even signs that say Do not get near or touch the horses. Given where on her body, the horse shoved her with its nose, she should be glad she was not bitten.— Francis Goldwyn (@FGoldwyn) May 21, 2024
