Royal Guard Collapses Near Queen Elizabeth II’s Coffin
Royal Guard Collapses Near Queen Elizabeth II’s Coffin
A moment of drama as thousands file past the queen’s coffin. A royal guard collapsed while standing beside Queen Elizabeth II’s coffin. Thankfully, two Scotland Yard officers rush to help the guard. For a moment it appeared that King Charles III was also unsteady on his feet after walking for 40 minutes behind her coffin then standing to attention in the hall. Although the king did not partake in public engagements today, Prince William and Kate Middleton shook hands with well-wishers.
As someone who spent 10 years active duty Army and has spent countless hours in various types of ceremonies I can tell you this happens all the time. Sometimes from dehydration, overheating, illness or locking your legs out. I’ve seen it many times. Standing at attention for a long period of time is very difficult. I remember when I was stationed in Hawaii we had a change of command ceremony that lasted over 3 hours. We had to stand in formation that while time in a field with no shade and it was 89 degrees out thst day. Absolutely awful.
I can’t even say what Henry said but you can look it up. If I say it I get censored 🤣
@Fukyouwaon what is it that Henry Kissinger said about military men again? That they deny but was in his book?
@Fukyouwaon I won’t .. you didn’t need to tell me that clearly. So what is your input really?
@Solomon if you don’t like it then don’t get in the military lmao
@Nick Stevens I’m not trying to undermine their work but it’s just hard work. Mine workers can work up to 12 hours and don’t get the honors of the military.
I can only imagine how tough that could of been for the Queens Guard. The stress of the situation, the overwhelming sadness for Her Majesty’s Death, and the hours upon hours of diligent standing watch. I hope the Guard is doing well. God Save The King.
“overwhelming sadness for Her Majesty’s Death”, I prefer the French treatment for the royals.
@Callan Biehn should HAVE* retired
Why is everyone so stupid today?
Could HAVE* been
For us she was The Queen. For Charles, she was his mother. I have nothing but understanding and empathy for him getting frustrated at a pen. I cant imagine its easy losing a parent, no matter how old you might be. Also, we the everyday people can lock ourselves away and take as much time as we need to mourn and get over the loss of losing someone, for Charles, he’s had to spring into action literally over night.
Only respect can be shown for king Charles I can’t believe what megan said about him as if she hasn’t lost anybody and had a shorter temper, he has all rights to not be alright after losing his mother.
She was NOTHING TO ME. WE DON’T HAVE A QUEEN 😆
fr
For me she and her family was just rich people millionaires
For Camilla, she was the last line of defense
I’m surprised we haven’t seen it sooner than we have and Ive felt for every one of them so far.
As an ex-Navy member who participated in many ceremonies, I can tell you it is very difficult to maintain such a position for an extended amount of time. I used to see people fainting when standing for prolonged periods all the time. It also happened to me once and the feelings of embarrassment and humiliation is terrible.
I have nothing but compassion and empathy for those fulfilling their guard duties during these events.
We all get frustrated over silly little things when grief takes control. Leave the king alone! He has just lost his mother. 😔
He was orobdvky thinking, ‘I can’t go shaking hands likkkng like this.’ End every single minute of his time is accounted for right now. He doesn’t have time for messes.
Exactly what I was just thinking

The king is going to h.e.l.l
Rip The queen but she did nothing to save england
the meat riding is insane 💀
Found the British clowns lmao
Bro he’s just overworked or dehydrated or something not “sad” 💀
Wow such disrespect, Condolences to the British Royals and kudos to the guard for doing his duty
Royal Pack getting Rolled Up💨⚰️
@Buggy no. just no.
people in different areas of the world say different stuff. Also why wouldn’t he think that he is different. Nobody is the same. Of course he would think he’s different. smh
“KuDoS” u ppl that say that think ur sooo different 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
the royal guard stood as long as he could before collapsing. mad respect to him. it’s for brave and dedicated people like him that made Britain Great Britain
Poor guy must of been exhausted.
I’ve stood for parade many times and I know it’s hard going, I can only imagine the immense pressure of having to stand guard for the Queen.
Respect to all the guards 💂
Charles is human. Patience isn’t always available when do you have lost a loved one and under so much pressure to be perfect.
