Queen’s Guard gives rude tourist fright of his life

For all the pomp and ceremony, Her Majesty’s personal security team are not to be messed with, as we’ve mentioned before. A rude tourist visiting Windsor Castle has learnt this the hard way, getting the fright of his life in the process.

In the video above, a group of soldiers are changing the guard at the castle gates, when one tourist gets a little bit too close for comfort while trying to get a good photo.

In response the solider bellows, “Stay away!”

The evidentially shocked tourist is immediately taken aback by this and offers a brief salute to the guard with onlookers appearing to be just as alarmed as he is.

This is not the first time a member Queen’s Guard hve dealing with an obnoxious tourist has been caught on tape, with the video below captured earlier this year.

What do you think? Did the guard go too far, or was he right to yell at the tourist?
