Visiting London’s royal sites is on many travelers’ bucket lists. But for one tourist, the experience took a turn she’ll never forget—thanks to the King’s Guard.
The highly trained soldiers guarding iconic locations like Buckingham Palace might seem like part of the scenery, but they’re not just there for photos. And a recent viral TikTok video serves as a stark reminder: these guards mean business.
In the clip, a young woman poses next to one of the King’s Guards for what she thought would be a fun snapshot. But things went south fast. She apparently touched the guard, and his reaction was instant—and intense.

Turning sharply, he shouted in her face, “Do not touch the King’s Life Guard!” The woman, visibly startled, bolted back to her group, looking like she’d just seen a ghost. Did she get her photo? That remains a mystery.
The video has sparked a heated debate in the comment section. Many sided with the guard, emphasizing the importance of respecting their role.
“He’s not a show attraction; he’s there to guard the king. It’s his job!” one commenter wrote. Another chimed in, “People need to leave the guards alone. It’s not a joke!”
However, not everyone agreed with the guard’s approach. Some questioned why he had to yell so aggressively. “Why does he have to scream like that? He could’ve just asked her to step back,” one person commented.
Regardless of the differing opinions, one thing is clear: when you visit London and marvel at the royal pageantry, you’re stepping into a world of tradition, duty, and no-nonsense guards.
So, consider this your warning—look, don’t touch. And if you forget? Well, you might end up starring in the next viral TikTok.
