Caught on Camera: UK Queen’s guard yells at woman tourist

<p>
A video clip showing the British Queen's guard astride a horse outside Buckingham Palace, yelling at a woman tourist in London has gone viral triggering a major discussion online.</p>

<p>
The incident took place when the woman was posing for photos and got too close to the horse and even held its reins.  </p>
<p>
"Stand back from the Queen's lifeguard, don't touch the reins!" the soldier suddenly yells aggressively while raising his sword, with the horse, too, moving forward.</p>
<p>
The woman gets so scared that she just bolts from the vicinity. </p>
<p>
Another video of a similar incident involving another woman tourist and the Queen’s guard has also gone viral on Tik Tok.  </p>
<p>
The two videos have been viewed millions of times and stirred a debate online. Many users slammed the reaction of the guards.</p>
<p>
"The shouting was unnecessary! He could have spoken with a less aggressive tone of voice!" a Twitter user commented.</p>
<p>
Others, however, said their actions were completely justified. "He's a guard, not sure what people expect to happen," a Twitter user said. "She deserved it, don't touch, there are signs telling you not to," commented another.</p>
<p>
Although getting a photo with one of the Queen's guards is considered a part of the tourist experience of visiting London but there are rules such as no touching, which some tourists tend to ignore.</p>
