Shocking moment a woman lashes out at King’s Guard for pushing her out of the way while he was performing his duties
Footage shows the shocking moment a woman lashed out at a Kingsguard for “pushing them out of the way” while performing their duties.
The incident, which went viral on TikTok, shows the blonde woman standing in the way of the guard at Horse Guards Parade.
The woman, holding a blue can of Pringles, stood very close to one of the mounted guards, while other bystanders gave the guards more space by standing further away.
Although the king’s bodyguard on foot asked the woman to take a step back when he first passed her to salute his fellow guardsmen, she stepped even closer to the agitated horse of the mounted guard.
As the guard who had previously warned her headed back towards the gate, the woman stood squarely in his path.

He yelled “make way” and used his arm to move the woman out of the way, infuriating her. She shoved her can of Pringles into him and turned to the crowd, asking if they saw what happened, only for another viewer to reply, “He asked you to move and you didn’t.” “

Pushing her can of Pringles into the guard, she turned to the crowd and asked if they saw what happened, only for another onlooker to reply, “He asked you to move and you didn’t .”
Still trying to seek sympathy from the assembled crowd, she pulled up her sleeve and claimed she had “a broken arm”.
A policeman then appeared and politely asked her to leave, but the woman continued to scold the mounted guard and the policeman.
After arguing for a few minutes, the woman finally left the scene.
The guards are known for doing their duty – protecting the official entrance to St James’s Palace and Buckingham Palace – no matter who gets in their way.
Many TikTok users who commented on the viral video pointed this out, with one saying, “The King’s Guards have a job to do and some people have to respect them all.”
Another weighed in: “I still can’t believe she wasn’t arrested.”
Many noted that the woman’s behavior showed disrespect for the Kingsguard and that everyone knows to move when the guards say so.

This isn’t the first time tourists have ignored warnings at Horse Guards Parade.
Last week, a King’s Guard horse took its job of protecting Buckingham Palace very seriously when a tourist stood too close to be uncomfortable.
The video shows the shocking moment the horse clutched a woman’s ponytail as she posed for a photograph at Horse Guards Parade.
The animal, ridden by a Blues and Royals soldier, was mounted next to a sign warning visitors: “Beware! Horses can kick or bite.”
The clip shows the horse swinging its head towards the woman as she stands with her back to the animal. The animal then bites her hair and spins her around until she manages to break free and scurry away.
The incident came just weeks after an angry member of the Kingsguard yelled at a tourist who twice tried to grab his horse’s reins.
What is the Kingsguard and what do the soldiers do?
The King’s Guard is the name of a group of soldiers responsible for guarding Buckingham Palace and St James’s Palace.
Traditionally, guards stand still during guard duty, which lasts two hours, before taking a four-hour break.
Every 10 minutes they stand, bend their arms, and make a 15-step march across the post area.
You must work in all weather conditions and follow strict rules such as E.g. not grinning or laughing which can result in a fine of £200.
Guards are generally not allowed to speak to the public, but in certain circumstances, e.g. B. when people obstruct them, they can shout a warning to get them to walk.
