As a 100% disabled AMERICAN veteran from Vietnam I would like to take a moment to apologize to the Royal Guard for the rudeness of Americans. I walked many a post and I have no idea how these great men and women can put up with the abuse, Thank you for your dedication to the Royal Families and thank you for what you do. God Save the King and his protectors. And again I am so sorry for the ignorant Americans. You guys and gals are really something special and if I make it to England ever again I would be proud to stand in the area of one of them just to say THANK YOU for what you do
Incredibly thoughtful, but you have no need to personally apologise. Besides, it isn't just Americans who seem to consider these soldiers as actors at Disneyland.
The reason people take the piss out of our soldiers is because they haven't got the balls to do the job themselves. And it's not just the American people, it's people from all over the world that do take the piss. Our soldiers are there doing they're job, how would these people feel if our guys went to other countries and take the piss out of them when they are working. Leave our guys and girls alone to do their job.
I’ve seen quite a lot of these videos over time and I cannot agree the culprits are American. There are ethnic groups who cause insult, there are also British fools. Why label them all as Americans?? Obviously, as with any group, there may have been a few Americans but do be honest and fair!
As a Brit raised within the Armed Forces family I wish tourists would remember that not only are Royal Guards HIGHLY TRAINED servicemen but they are also personal representatives of His Majesty the King.
@@ardongrainford8004they've got to,because whenever the offender has been told to move they just ignore the order. I have no quarrel with the guards pushing ignoramuses out of the way. If they don't like it, don't flaming well come here then!!!
Although I am an American I would never put up with that kind of behavior from people. It makes Americans like me look stupid and I'm not. I would have the utmost respect for this guards their horses and the rules. It makes me feel bad about Americans acting like this however I have also seen other people not Americans behave very rudely. So no matter who you are or where you're from show some respect and learn the rules.
As an American who has friends in England, I would NEVER EVER disrespect these soldiers. I hate it when fellow Americans do stupid antics to make the rest of us look bad when we try to visit other countries. To the men and women who serve the Royal Families, I humbly apologize for my countrymen who do this stupidity. You are all just doing your job and I thank you for doing so.
Every tourist should be respectful of all other countries customs and culture, if they don't like it, stay home, you're not welcome,,, I'm a brit, would never dream of going to another country and disrespecting their military
Again, fine these Clowns £ 500 per offense per offender, and you will soon see these Shenanigans end, plus, I favour good 🚧 barriors to prevent unwanted trespassing by stollid idiots.
I took a Pic of one of those guys.he snapped to attention for me.i took the Pic. Then thanked him and saluted him from one military man to another. I kept my distance of coarse.
Most of them truly don't mind being photographed or talked to respectively. Evidently, they cannot really answer but a quick comment 'Good turn out/cheers mate' etc goes a long way and breaks up guard. It's just if they're not respectful eh?
These guys aren't just there for display. They are very real and serving soldiers. Who when needed FIGHT for this nation. And when they are on guard duty they take it seriously.
if they are serious army/police maybe they should dress up in standard uniform and not get drawn into the tourism industry. The fact that they are not allowed to move or talk is probably the reason they get jokers coming along all the time. also they can easily cordon off the area around them if they wanted to stop harrassment.
@@dbmusic4114 These guards have been there long before tourists came along. The uniforms are ceremonial but they do have regular uniforms they wear on the battlefield. Most of them have served and are serving in hotspots around the world.
@@timrussell9869 Not most of them have served, ALL of them need to have served in the military. The King's Guard is a special branch of the British Army's Household Division, and soldiers who join this prestigious unit typically come from the five Foot Guards regiments: the Grenadier Guards, Coldstream Guards, Scots Guards, Irish Guards, and Welsh Guards. These soldiers are fully trained infantrymen who have been through rigorous training and have experience serving in the military before they are assigned to ceremonial duties such as guarding Buckingham Palace and St. James's Palace.
The worst disrespect from tourists has to be at Pearl Harbour. We were on the boat heading to the Arizona memorial. On the boat we’re some Japanese tourists who laughed and joked the whole time we were there. As an Englishman with a sense of right and wrong, this disgusted me.
These are well trained military, they would kick many so called elite forces ass. Many of them are veterans... Pay respect to them so you can live in a free western world!
We visited London from Texas. Rich history and culture, yet I did not get to visit Buckingham. I hate to see such mockery of so many American tourists and anyone else who looks at the Royal Guard as 'toy soldiers'. We came when Queen Elizabeth was honored in her funeral, saw it all on BBC. I was too weak to walk at the time. When King Charles was honored with the song, 'God save the King', the tune I realized was stolen from England and re-mastered as 'My country 'tis of thee'. I understand even more that England, Great Britain, is the mother of our country.
lol yeah imagine my surprise when I went with my American in laws to their church and heard it. 😂 I was “wait a minute” That’s our national anthem. Pretty sure a lot of Americans would be pretty mad if it was the other way about.
@@JmesFloyd76 yes they are but we don't want kings and queens we like our system of every 4 yrs you get to choose.The monarchy gets way to much not the people just them.

Respect is no longer in the vocabulary of these younger generations who spend their free time trying to get the "right" Tik-Tok take for their followers. I spent many years in the UK with the USAF. These Royal Guards are professional and highly trained. People of all nationalities should give them the respect that they earned and deserve. Social media has destroyed common decency across many countries.
I'm American i respect our military and i would respect their military. But i agree some American are probably the worst of these idiots disrespecting the guards. If my granddaughter acted like these entitled rude idiots I'd be the first to take them away and they would be on their way home as soon as i could get them a ticket. Kids learn from adults and some adults today are as bad or worst than kids. That guy who grabbed the rein and stood like he was entitled to do so refusing to move even when the guard yelled he moved when guard came out of the box.
All tourists (visitors) to any country should show respect to people and culture when not in their own country. Mess around in some countries and you will never been seen again! RESPECT
Same in Norway.. We leave them alone. I have however been to London and asked politely riding police for a selfie. Wich was ok. I think the keyword is "ask" and "polite"
Why disrespect another country's proud traditions. I scared off a group (I am South African) once by walking up to them and shouting "Where's your fucking pride?" They scattered.
I'm Canadian and would have done the same. As a former reservist in the Canadian Army, I understand and respect the important ceremonial role these soldiers play.
Some of these idiots are not American. I am an American, and I have a very high respectful view of these Guardsman. They are hard-working men & women. Not everyone could do it. It takes a lot of patience to put up with these rude and disrespectful people. Not all Americans are idiots. They are all over this globe.

Yes, Ive travelled around the world and I really didnt find Americans as disrespectful as painted here. Australians can be pretty bad. We were on a bus to the grand canyon and the bus driver said please dont leave your litter on the bus because I have to clean it as part of my job and I work 14 hours a day. As we were getting off the bus I noticed rubbish jammed in everywhere the group of young Australians were sitting but nowhere else. And their behaviour in places like Bali is shameful.
Yes, we would. Most Americans don't treat our military officers this way. But there are idiots representing the USA, that we don't respect over here, either.
I'm prior US Navy and it angers me that people don't respect the military. These guards have a job to do. How would like it if the kings guards came into there job and did this?
May I ask how you verified that those rude tourists were Americans? Their clothing, shoes, etc. indicated a possible other nationalities. As a 9 year veteran of the United States Marine Corps, I can assure you I would NOT be as tolerant as these Royal Guardsmen were.
Unfortunately you will be reaping what your fellow citizens have just voted for and appear, as a nation, to be circling the toilet bowl of tRump Land. I feel so sorry for you as you sound a decent person. Best of luck.
They are already being clipped. But not enough Americans travel abroad to realize how much the rest of the world has grown, caught up with and SURPASSED the United States in most aspects in the last 70 years.
How do you know these are American tourists? Is there a stamp on them? Millions of tourists visit these places, and I'm sure a great majority of them are NOT American.
I can't guarantee every time but I'm quite sure it's the loud mouth entitled behaviour and the accent that gives it away. Been to the us and that unmistakable accent is everywhere.
@@andrewbarnard667At least we know the difference between a biscuit and a cracker. You put your raw oysters on a cracker and you sop up your gravy, gumbo or jambalaya with the biscuit. Might as well have a Shrimp PoBoy to go with all of that.
As an American this should be shown on prime time United States television as Americans Abroad travel minute. Let these individuals be exposed in their country. Ever man in my family until Viet Nam has fought in combat during WWI, WWII, Korea. This is above all a reflection on their parents and the homes they come from.
Some folks are just plain rude & ignorant. Wether it is Tomb of the unknown soldier or the Queen's guards, respect must be shown. But it is all about look at me, look at me to put on socials or tick toc etc. Parents are probably ashamed of them.
Not just American tourists. The rude and ignorant people from all over the world are just the same. No excuse for such behavior. I could never do their job without getting sent to prison.
These soldiers are performing the duties of their job description. How would any of these people like to be treated in a similar manner, whilst carrying out their duties, in what ever job they perform. These soldiers are not puppets! To be pocked, prodded or ridiculed! They are the Royal military carrying out their important and serious duties, to protect and defend! Those people what ever their nationality! They are visitors to our country and should show respect for our culture and traditions. Or simply stay away!
Those idiots marching beside the guards think they are being funny and original---it's been done before by other idiots, and it wasn't funny the first time.
@@JohnSmith-ei2pz- I’m a New Zealander & we’re a pretty easy going lot , but you’d be risking a hard shove or being sworn at if you did that to a stranger, which is basically what the guards do . Maybe a quick jab with bayonet 🤔
Same type of chuckle heads that would tease the gorillas at the zoo then get surprised when they find out the hard way just how accurate the gorillas can throw.
This is like footage of Americans disrespecting the tomb of the unknown soldier in Virginia. I know not all of the disrespectful people weren’t Americans but respect for soldiers on guard is just basic respect. I’m sure at least some of these guards have done active duty too. Be kind People 😀
I'm and American and would never show disrespect to anyone I authority .I rem e m b er going to the grave of the unknown soldier I the US the people were very rude my husband remindedmy children not to speak or make any kind of noise at the tomb..🇺🇸🙏💯% respect
Why some Americans aren’t blessed by God almighty his son Jesus. Ten Commandments gives us guidelines how we are to live and we can’t no one can follow why Jesus came and died on the cross he took our sins sicknesses and debts nailed to a cross,beaten for our transgressions he came from heaven to earth to save the world repent of all sins turn from them follow Jesus only way to heaven false religions will lead you on path of destruction. Respect, love, grace ,mercy , hope ,faith all for Jesus when we believe son of God ,God in flesh, son of man.
Brit here. From what I have seen, American tourists rarely show disrespect, they just get a bit carried away and think the guards are a bit like characters in Disney World who are happy to provide photo opportunities. Some other cultures however certainly DO show contempt and disrespect deliberately
There are stupid, irreverent & silly people from all places including Britain. Only greatest respect for the Guards (and all military) who serve with dedication & discipline from this American/ SF/ CA/ USA. Although have seen videos of gracious & kind Guards, there is only so much that they can take. Is it possible to put short standards with chains around them to keep these foolish people at least an arms distance from Guards & horses?
I agree . The public is given too much close access to the Guards, who are only doing their job and should be shielded from these disrespectful idiots. I often wonder what these stupid people would do if these same guards came out in full combat and camo. They may change their tune (one hopes).(UK mother and grandmother of serving military)
I have the most respect for the folks who gave their lives for me. FOR ME!! I thank everyone who gave their life, for any country whatever, because they're like me. I will respect everybody who buts their body on the line.
We need to have two guards where there used to be one, for a while at least. One to perform their duties, and one to guard the guard. This second guard should be empowered to use force against anyone interfering, or attempting to interfere, with the first guard. Anyone doing so should be immediatelly deported, at their own expense, and banned from ever entering this country again. Alternatively, just make it a criminal offence so that anyone can make a citizen's arrest.
@@Gent100 Not very closely and / or in too restrained a manner, otherwise we wouldn't be seeing clips such as these. Their function is, or at least seems to be, more in addition to the guards' but in a more informal, liquid way.
I did not quite realised this kind of training...Well is not surprising, bless them. I wish tourists were more mindful and apreciate these very good looking guards are doing a very responsible duty and it should not be interfered with...just show some respect and leave them alone to concentrate on their duty. I myself would be scared to upset such a person...I would not like it, full stop🙏👍🙂. Interesting video and good to know and learn from it, definitely.
I wore my Canadian flag also. Americans are frowned apon in quite a few Countries in Europe. I know they are very frowned on in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
How do you know that the people are Americans? I'm an American and I take your assumptions as very disrespectful. I agree that nobody should disrespect the Royal Guards, that's not the issue I'm bringing up.
@@slake9727 the idiot with the microphone that was taken away by the police is British, there are longer videos of some of these idiots and you can hear their voices.
I'm a U.S. citizen and would not be surprised if 90 percent of the idiots disrespecting the guards are from the U.S. . Socialism and Communism have dragged down our countries culture and manners . It starts with our school boards and the far left indoctrination our school boards impose . I'm ashamed to admit that so many of these " people " are from my country .
Brit here. This video is utter bollocks. You don’t even show what you are blathering on about for the most time. And in no way can you even begin to contend that the people involved are American. Who do you work for…?
As an American I am horrified by this ignorant and appalling behavior ! As an educated, polite, and respectful American, may I humbly apologize for these horrid people. I promise they are in the minority!
What makes you think they're all Americans? Yes, there are plenty of morons who mess with the guards, but it's a jerk move on your part to assume they're Americans.
@@conniecurtis2761 amurukunts are so sensitive to honest criticism. No country but Russia really likes you guys anymore. Especially now that you've put cu^t-neck back in office. You guys are gonna regret your choices while the rest of the free world laughs our asses off when you see your rights violated over and over after January. You made your bed, now lie in it.
I’m sorry but you can tell most, not all, are Americans. I mean, the ones that are annoying the guards. I’m an American and I feel embarrassed to recognize that it is true, we have the most stupid people here. If you’re gonna travel, before you do, have to learn the customs of the countries you’re visiting.
Whenever the guards say “Get back from the Kings guard” there is always a little laughter from the group who are so disrespectful! These are highly trained troops who could kill the entire group within seconds.
I think a lot of it is either people who know what is coming so they laugh at the shocked tourist (I would be creased) or they're laughing in surprise themselves. It's shock for a lot of them.
It's a privilege (as well as good PR for the Brits) for tourists to get so close but remember these guys are working, they are a real regiment and are on duty.
Don’t understand these rude vis! It is one thing to view these colorful soldiers on their horses It is quite another to,interfere with ewe soldiers and their horses! The visitors get exactly as they deserve! A little respect please! These people are doing their jobs! Don’t touch and stop being an irritating clown!
Why, those replays? You must have enough of material of those fools, without replays? All respect in a big way to all of those guards. from a Finn in Diaspora, who has travelled all around the globe, without embarrassing himself.
Not just the American Tourists; the Chinese Tourists, the Israeli Tourists, and Arabic Tourists plus one particularly anoying Birmingham woman could be very disruptive, and had to be barred or arrested.
The offending tourists are not all Americans . That's a big exaggeration . Tourists in the UK come from all over the World . I find Americans are not that bad and many others like Chinese , Eastern European and Muslims to be far worse .
Back in 1955, there was an I Love Lucy episode where Lucy visits London and tries to make a guard smile and she failed. She didn’t seem disrespectful to the guard, she was just showing the custom. I was only eight years old at the time, but that was the impression she gave me. She was being funny but not disrespectful.

Yes, Ive travelled around the world and I really didnt find Americans as disrespectful as painted here. Australians can be pretty bad. We were on a bus to the grand canyon and the bus driver said please dont leave your litter on the bus because I have to clean it as part of my job and I work 14 hours a day. As we were getting off the bus I noticed rubbish jammed in everywhere the group of young Australians were sitting but nowhere else. And their behaviour in places like Bali is shameful.
Yes, we would. Most Americans don't treat our military officers this way. But there are idiots representing the USA, that we don't respect over here, either.
Sorry ,many vide on this youtube channel tell a different story!
" You judge a man by his maneers ".
“Most of US in the USA…”
Your report here is BRILLIANT. How you describe these idiots is 100% accurate stupidity IGNORANT
Except they aren't all Americans....
I'm prior US Navy and it angers me that people don't respect the military. These guards have a job to do. How would like it if the kings guards came into there job and did this?
May I ask how you verified that those rude tourists were Americans? Their clothing, shoes, etc. indicated a possible other nationalities. As a 9 year veteran of the United States Marine Corps, I can assure you I would NOT be as tolerant as these Royal Guardsmen were.
@@robertpieske2056 American teenage girls would not dress like those girls ...
I know right! I'm sure they all were not just Americans.
Tourists should never be allowed anywhere need the Guards.
I am an American and it’s obvious to me that we are spoiled and feel entitled. And I’m afraid one day our wings are going to be clipped.
The nicest thing anyone ever said to me was when I was visiting Prague and someone said he was surprised I was an American. He thought I was Canadian.
Well if anyone Trump is the guy to do it/ Head teacher in clown school 🤡
Not soon enough
Unfortunately you will be reaping what your fellow citizens have just voted for and appear, as a nation, to be circling the toilet bowl of tRump Land. I feel so sorry for you as you sound a decent person. Best of luck.
They are already being clipped. But not enough Americans travel abroad to realize how much the rest of the world has grown, caught up with and SURPASSED the United States in most aspects
in the last 70 years.
That is right and to protect the Royal Family
How do you know these are American tourists? Is there a stamp on them? Millions of tourists visit these places, and I'm sure a great majority of them are NOT American.
I can't guarantee every time but I'm quite sure it's the loud mouth entitled behaviour and the accent that gives it away. Been to the us and that unmistakable accent is everywhere.
@@andrewbarnard667At least we know the difference between a biscuit and a cracker. You put your raw oysters on a cracker and you sop up your gravy, gumbo or jambalaya with the biscuit. Might as well have a Shrimp PoBoy to go with all of that.
I think the guards have every right to defend themselves..I'm an. American from the south..and I was brought up to respect and have manners.
Anyone that messes with the guard or the horse should get a mandatory 5 years in jail
The clip at 2.33 is no American. He is , or sadly, was English. Gerry will be forever immortalised in this clip.
The only idiots is the ones acting stupid in front of a royal guard.
As an American this should be shown on prime time United States television as Americans Abroad travel minute. Let these individuals be exposed in their country. Ever man in my family until Viet Nam has fought in combat during WWI, WWII, Korea. This is above all a reflection on their parents and the homes they come from.
Its isn't Americans, i found European and African tourists to be far more disrepectful than Americans
Some folks are just plain rude & ignorant. Wether it is Tomb of the unknown soldier or the Queen's guards, respect must be shown. But it is all about look at me, look at me to put on socials or tick toc etc. Parents are probably ashamed of them.
Not just American tourists. The rude and ignorant people from all over the world are just the same. No excuse for such behavior. I could never do their job without getting sent to prison.
As a former American soldier (72-78) my respect to the Royal Guards. An apology for the actions of some ignorant Americans, who should know better.
You're lying when you claim that these people are all Americans.
They definitely aren't all yanks. People from all around the world are capable of being disrespectful aholes.
Штрафовать надо, чтобы другим лезть не захотелось!
These soldiers are performing the duties of their job description. How would any of these people like to be treated in a similar manner, whilst carrying out their duties, in what ever job they perform. These soldiers are not puppets! To be pocked, prodded or ridiculed! They are the Royal military carrying out their important and serious duties, to protect and defend! Those people what ever their nationality! They are visitors to our country and should show respect for our culture and traditions. Or simply stay away!
Those idiots marching beside the guards think they are being funny and original---it's been done before by other idiots, and it wasn't funny the first time.
What makes you think that all of these tourists are Americans? You are so wrong!!
I can’t believe the rudeness & stupidity of some people. Would they approach a total stranger. No they would not
Welcome to the UK!
@@JohnSmith-ei2pz- I’m a New Zealander & we’re a pretty easy going lot , but you’d be risking a hard shove or being sworn at if you did that to a stranger, which is basically what the guards do . Maybe a quick jab with bayonet 🤔
I'm an american but i absolutely love,adore,and respect the royal guards.
Same type of chuckle heads that would tease the gorillas at the zoo then get surprised when they find out the hard way just how accurate the gorillas can throw.
This is like footage of Americans disrespecting the tomb of the unknown soldier in Virginia. I know not all of the disrespectful people weren’t Americans but respect for soldiers on guard is just basic respect. I’m sure at least some of these guards have done active duty too. Be kind People 😀
They shout MAKE WAY! Not my way.
Americans 🙄
How do you know any of these were Americans The 1 guy even had a British accent
The biggest majority are yanks....that's why!
simply the use of the word Guy!
That man was from Wales, not the USA. How dare you fake it!
My only objection is singling out Americans! I have seen plenty of other tourists from other countries humiliating these soldiers!
Yes but Americans are in the magority because they think they are superiour but they are mostly dumb.
I haven't. I don't know anyone who has. I'm not sure I believe you.
Not all American act like that but as always the respectful one's have to pay the price.
I'm and American and would never show disrespect to anyone I authority .I rem e m b er going to the grave of the unknown soldier I the US the people were very rude my husband remindedmy children not to speak or make any kind of noise at the tomb..🇺🇸🙏💯% respect
Why some Americans aren’t blessed by God almighty his son Jesus. Ten Commandments gives us guidelines how we are to live and we can’t no one can follow why Jesus came and died on the cross he took our sins sicknesses and debts nailed to a cross,beaten for our transgressions he came from heaven to earth to save the world repent of all sins turn from them follow Jesus only way to heaven false religions will lead you on path of destruction. Respect, love, grace ,mercy , hope ,faith all for Jesus when we believe son of God ,God in flesh, son of man.
@@Jesuscoming7235It looks like your version of God didn't teach you to break up run-on sentences and use punctuation.
😂
What respectful ones??? What ones with the tiniest sliver of common decency. I've never seen one.
Just like to point out not just Americans that are disrespectful.
Maybe those featured are Americans?
I can’t get over how ignorant many young people are , these Royal Guards are some of the most fierce warriors in the armed forces, God bless them
Brit here. From what I have seen, American tourists rarely show disrespect, they just get a bit carried away and think the guards are a bit like characters in Disney World who are happy to provide photo opportunities.
Some other cultures however certainly DO show contempt and disrespect deliberately
The chap at 2:40-2:50 is actually British, and a former RAF Officer!
Also, 6:47, that’s not a real Guard.
There are stupid, irreverent & silly people from all places including Britain. Only greatest respect for the Guards (and all military) who serve with dedication & discipline from this American/ SF/ CA/ USA. Although have seen videos of gracious & kind Guards, there is only so much that they can take. Is it possible to put short standards with chains around them to keep these foolish people at least an arms distance from Guards & horses?
I agree . The public is given too much close access to the Guards, who are only doing their job and should be shielded from these disrespectful idiots. I often wonder what these stupid people would do if these same guards came out in full combat and camo. They may change their tune (one hopes).(UK mother and grandmother of serving military)
I have the most respect for the folks who gave their lives for me. FOR ME!! I thank everyone who gave their life, for any country whatever, because they're like me. I will respect everybody who buts their body on the line.
We need to have two guards where there used to be one, for a while at least. One to perform their duties, and one to guard the guard. This second guard should be empowered to use force against anyone interfering, or attempting to interfere, with the first guard. Anyone doing so should be immediatelly deported, at their own expense, and banned from ever entering this country again. Alternatively, just make it a criminal offence so that anyone can make a citizen's arrest.
Armed police “guard the guard”.
@@Gent100 Not very closely and / or in too restrained a manner, otherwise we wouldn't be seeing clips such as these. Their function is, or at least seems to be, more in addition to the guards' but in a more informal, liquid way.
give some of these entities a cell phone and commonsense flies out the window.Twattery rules fullstop.
I did not quite realised this kind of training...Well is not surprising, bless them. I wish tourists were more mindful and apreciate these very good looking guards are doing a very responsible duty and it should not be interfered with...just show some respect and leave them alone to concentrate on their duty. I myself would be scared to upset such a person...I would not like it, full stop🙏👍🙂. Interesting video and good to know and learn from it, definitely.
The commentator sounded like he should be writing for the National Enquirer.
I always wear my 🇨🇦 flag so people don’t think I’m American
I wore my Canadian flag also. Americans are frowned apon in quite a few Countries in Europe. I know they are very frowned on in Norway, Sweden and Denmark.
You are an American . North American .
@tommurphree5630 No , I am a Canadian
As long as you don't act like a moron you will be welcome almost anywhere.
That goes for all nationalities!
Good move!
Pls respect the royal guards and horses , they represent the imperial majesty of Great Britain❤
I'm wondering why you think all of these people are Americans? 🤨
Because they are.
A previous commenter said it was easy to tell because of the accent and one other reason I failed to remember.
How do you know that the people are Americans? I'm an American and I take your assumptions as very disrespectful. I agree that nobody should disrespect the Royal Guards, that's not the issue I'm bringing up.
I’m so embarrassed
Truly getting out of hand when police have to be deployed to protect soldiers!
They wre Not all Americans. 😮😊
Which ones were not? How could you tell they were not american?
@@slake9727 the idiot with the microphone that was taken away by the police is British, there are longer videos of some of these idiots and you can hear their voices.
These are not all American tourists. What is your problem?
How do you know?
We have no problems with dumb american tourists.
If i see the Kings Guard approaching whilst carrying a ceremonial sword or a bayonet rifle,i wouldn't need any convincing to move out of their way.
Ignorance, arrogance and complete disrespect are just a few of the words i can think of for the tourists! 😡😡
Great respect for all guards and sentinels in all countries.
Just labeling everyone ‘American’
Don't fack with the Royal Guards, They will JUDGE YOU! \/ Godbless THE ROYAL GUARDS. RESPECT. xXx
I’d wager that most of those “rude” tourists are not American.
You need to travel more out side the states!
I agree.
@@maccharles100 I'm with OP, but there are dumb americans...
I'm a U.S. citizen and would not be surprised if 90 percent of the idiots disrespecting the guards are from the U.S. . Socialism and Communism have dragged down our countries culture and manners . It starts with our school boards and the far left indoctrination our school boards impose . I'm ashamed to admit that so many of these " people " are from my country .
As Crocodile Dundee said " now that's what you call a knife "😂
Brit here. This video is utter bollocks. You don’t even show what you are blathering on about for the most time. And in no way can you even begin to contend that the people involved are American. Who do you work for…?
We need to totally respect our guards.
Not all of those ignorati were American.
As an American I am horrified by this ignorant and appalling behavior !
As an educated, polite, and respectful American, may I humbly apologize for these horrid people. I promise they are in the minority!
What makes you think they're all Americans? Yes, there are plenty of morons who mess with the guards, but it's a jerk move on your part to assume they're Americans.
@@conniecurtis2761 amurukunts are so sensitive to honest criticism. No country but Russia really likes you guys anymore. Especially now that you've put cu^t-neck back in office. You guys are gonna regret your choices while the rest of the free world laughs our asses off when you see your rights violated over and over after January. You made your bed, now lie in it.
I’m sorry but you can tell most, not all, are Americans.
I mean, the ones that are annoying the guards.
I’m an American and I feel embarrassed to recognize that it is true, we have the most stupid people here.
If you’re gonna travel, before you do, have to learn the customs of the countries you’re visiting.
Seeing how the majority of Americans have just voted Trump back into the WH the assumption that they're all as thick as shit is warranted
Warning. Incoming American with hurty feelings 👆🏻😆
@Pipsicle330 Not hurt feelings, just being objective.
Whenever the guards say “Get back from the Kings guard” there is always a little laughter from the group who are so disrespectful! These are highly trained troops who could kill the entire group within seconds.
I think a lot of it is either people who know what is coming so they laugh at the shocked tourist (I would be creased) or they're laughing in surprise themselves. It's shock for a lot of them.
They girls are not dressed as American's.
Why no maga caps
@@keithcaldwell7673Maybe their dress sizes aren’t XXXL.
These are professional fighting men, they are as hard as fuhh, they wont tolerate...... I am a big fan.
Manners cost nothing
It's a privilege (as well as good PR for the Brits) for tourists to get so close but remember these guys are working, they are a real regiment and are on duty.
Don’t understand these rude vis! It is one thing to view these colorful soldiers on their horses
It is quite another to,interfere with ewe soldiers and their horses! The visitors get exactly as they deserve! A little respect please! These people are doing their jobs! Don’t touch and stop being an irritating clown!
Why, those replays?
You must have enough of material of those fools, without replays?
All respect in a big way to all of those guards.
from a Finn in Diaspora, who has travelled all around the globe, without embarrassing himself.
Not just the American Tourists; the Chinese Tourists, the Israeli Tourists, and Arabic Tourists plus one particularly anoying Birmingham woman could be very disruptive, and had to be barred or arrested.
Some people extremely stupid.
These people think our Guards are actors rather than serving soldiers.
I also have a great respect for the American military.
Absolutely,I’ve stood at changing guard at Arlington,absolute silence and respect.🇬🇧
The offending tourists are not all Americans . That's a big exaggeration . Tourists in the UK come from all over the World . I find Americans are not that bad and many others like Chinese , Eastern European and Muslims to be far worse .
There needs to be a different solution to tourONS.😊
Tourons need to remember,, these guys an gals, are trained to dispatch people with only their hands,
Back in 1955, there was an I Love Lucy episode where Lucy visits London and tries to make a guard smile and she failed. She didn’t seem disrespectful to the guard, she was just showing the custom. I was only eight years old at the time, but that was the impression she gave me. She was being funny but not disrespectful.
