Queen Elizabeth II’s 2021 annus horribilis still ends on a bad note. After losing her husband, last April, and facing the crises launched by Prince Harry and Prince Andrew, his majesty did not have time to celebrate Christmas in the calm that his guards are talking about. In bad.
A shock video
Indeed, a video initially shared on TikTok shows two of his recruits, dressed in gray uniforms and bearskin hats parading at the Tower of London, upright as stakes, as tradition dictates. And while the first asks passers-by ” Make way! ”, the second tramples a young boy who was in his way.
A sequence of incredible violence that shocked many on the Toie. In fact, officials at Buckingham Palace were quick to respond to the controversy. In the columns of Daily Mail, they explained : “ Guards on duty warned members of the public that a patrol was approaching but the child, sadly, unexpectedly rushed past the soldier “.
A bad interpretation
And to add that the sequence was misinterpreted. And for good reason, “The soldier tried to step over the child and continued on his way, his duty. After the incident, the soldier asked for news of the child and was reassured to know that all was well ” explains this official source.
