Karen thought the Royal Guards were just part of a tourist show until she stood in their way smirking unmoving convinced they’d go around her but when the guards marched forward without hesitation she learned the hard way that tradition and discipline don’t bow to entitlement here’s what happened but before we continue let us know in the comments below where you’re watching from subscribe to the channelers tomorrow at the same time we bring you another remarkable display of royal guard Valor that you won’t want to miss

the sharp click of designer heels against ancient cobblestones announced Deborah whitmore’s presence before she rounded the corner of Buckingham palace’s Eastern Gate her meticulously maintained blonde hair and luxury athleisure wear marked her as someone who considered herself above the ordinary tourists gathered to witness The Changing of the Guard excuse me she barked shouldering past an elderly couple who had been patiently waiting their turn for photos some of us have places to be her designer handbag swung carelessly

nearly striking a child who quickly ducked behind his mother the queue starts back there Mom a palace attendant politely informed her gesturing to the orderly line of visitors Debb’s perfectly manicured hand cut through the air dismissing his words before they could fully land do you know who I am her voice carried the entitled edge of someone who had never been told no I’m not standing in line like some common tourist I have a lunch reservation at the Ritz in 40 minutes the attendant maintained his professional composure I

apologize mom but for security reasons all visitors must security reasons Debb’s laugh was sharp enough to draw stairs for what those Toy Soldiers playing dress up she gestured dismissively toward the palace Gates this whole thing is just a tourist trap anyway I’m here to take a quick photo for my she caught herself remembering she was too sophisticated for social media mentions that a young family who had traveled from Australia tried to Edge past her there excited children pointing at the palace guards in the distance Debbie planted herself

firmly in their path I wasn’t finished here she announced as if the entire Courtyard were her private photo studio please miss the father began the children have been waiting all morning well they can wait a bit longer can’t they Debb’s voice dripped with condescension honestly people these days have no concept of proper etiquette the irony of her statement was lost on no one but herself in the distance the first notes of Marshall Music drifted across the palace grounds The Changing of the Guard was about to

begin but Deborah Whitmore had already decided that centuries of tradition would have to bend to her schedule little did she know she was about to learn a very different lesson about proper etiquette one that would leave an impression far more Las ing than any photograph as the ceremonial music grew louder tourists began shifting positions their cameras ready to capture the time honored tradition Debbie however remained rooted in her chosen spot now directly in the path where the guards would soon March mom a retired serviceman stepped

forward his Blazer adorned with campaign medals that spoke of real service you’ll need to move back the guards will be coming through here shortly oh please Debbie rolled her eyes adjusting her designer sunglasses they can walk around to me I’m not moving until I get my perfect shot she pulled out her phone holding it at various angles while completely ignoring the growing concern around her the Veteran’s weathered face tightened these aren’t actors Mom they’re active duty soldiers performing their sworn Duty the path

they March isn’t just tradition it’s their assigned route under orders under orders Debbie’s laugh was sharp enough to make several children Flinch orders to march in funny hats to stand still like statues please she waved her hand dismissively at his medals I suppose you used to play dress up too a ripple of disapproval moved through the crowd the Veteran’s companion another former serviceman placed a steadying hand on his friend’s shoulder save your breath John some lessons have to be learned the hard way in the distance the guard’s precise

footsteps could be heard approaching their rhythmic March carrying the weight of centuries leading them was guard James Windsor his bearing perfect his dedication evident in every measured step even from afar there was something about his presence that made most tourists instinctively step back something that spoke of real military experience behind the ceremonial uniform last warning a palace security officer called out his tone urgent clear the path immediately the guards will not stop or deviate from their rout oh For

Heaven’s Sake Debb’s voice rose drawing even more attention this is a public space I pay my taxes well my husband does and I have every right to stand wherever I want she turned to address the growing crowd as if expecting support this is ridiculous they’re just guards at a tourist attraction what are they you going to do walk through me the marching grew closer gwin’s unit had rounded the corner their Scarlet uniforms a stark contrast against the palace’s gray Stones their disciplined formation and unwavering Focus made it

clear this was no tourist show these were soldiers performing their Duty please a mother with two young children pleaded you’re going to get hurt they’re not allowed to stop or change course Debbie’s response was to plant her feet more firmly raising her phone higher then they better learn some customer service skills I’m not moving for anyone in a costume no matter how fancy their little hats are the drums grew louder the marching more distinct the crowd had pulled back leaving Debbie isolated in a pocket of space that would

soon be filled by advancing guards the veteran shook his head slowly recognition in his eyes he’d seen this type of entitled behavior before and he knew exactly how it would end guard Windsor’s eyes trained by years of service to assess situations instantly had already registered the obstruction in their path but his step never faltered his bearing never changed the formation moved forward with the inevitability of tradition itself closing the distance between ceremony and consequences this is your final warning

the security officer’s voice carried real urgency now clear the path or you will be forcibly removed try it Debbie shot back her stance becoming more defiant with each passing second I’d love to see you explain that to my lawyer she raised her phone higher completely oblivious to the fact that she was about to become an object lesson in respect one that would be significantly more memorable than any photo she hoped to capture the distance between guard Windsor’s unit and Debbie had shrunk to Mere yards yet she

remained planted in their path her phone held high with defiant determination the rhythmic Thunder of their boots against the ancient Stones seemed to make the very air vibrate with authority make way for the Queen’s guard the command rang out clear and sharp across the courtyard still Debbie stood her ground a smirk playing across her lips as she watched the approaching formation through her phone screen last chance someone called from the crowd they’re not going to stop oh please Debbie called back without lowering her

phone this isn’t some military base this is a tourist spot and I’m a paying visitor she raised her voice directing it at the approaching guards you lot work for us remember the public time to learn some basic customer the Collision when it came was precise and controlled yet still forceful enough to send Debbie brawling guard Windsor’s shoulder barge executed with military Precision struck her just hard enough to remove her from the formation’s path her designer sunglasses went flying in One Direction her phone

in another as she landed unceremoniously on the cobblestones but fate wasn’t finished teaching its lesson as the formation continued their unwavering March guard Windsor’s boot came down squarely on Debbie’s outstretched hand the one she’d flung out to break her fall the impact wasn’t cruel or deliberate it was simply the inevitable result of an immovable Force encountering an object that refused to move her scream of outrage and pain shattered the ceremonial atmosphere you broke my hand she scrambled to her knees cradling her

injured hand against her chest did everyone see that he assaulted me that Thug deliberately attacked me the guards marched on their formation Unbroken their discipline unwavering gwin’s eyes remained fixed forward his bearing as perfect as if nothing had occurred the only evidence of the incident was a slight scuff on his otherwise Immaculate boot how dare you Debbie struggled to her feet her designer outfit now bearing the marks of her encounter with the courtyard Stones stop right now I’m talking to you her

voice Rose to a shriek as the formation continued its precise March completely ignoring her existence do you know who my husband is I’ll have your job for this the veteran who had warned her earlier stepped forward offering a steadying hand which she angrily slapped away don’t touch me I want the police I want names I want badges her face had turned an alarming shade of red matching the guard’s uniforms that man attacked me he used excessive force I could have been killed ma’am the palace security officer approached his tone professionally

neutral despite having witnessed her ignore multiple warnings you were advised repeatedly to clear the path the Queen’s guard are authorized to remove any obstacles in their assigned route obstacles Debbie’s voice reached a new pitch of indignation I am a taxpaying citizen that man she pointed at guard Windsor retreating back assaulted me he stomped on my hand I demand he be rested immediately a small crowd had gathered around her though not with the sympathy she clearly expected several tourists who had captured the incident on their

phones were shaking their heads the veteran stood nearby his face a mask of professional neutrality that did little to hide his lack of surprise at the outcome I want his name Debbie continued her voice echoing off the palace walls James Windsor fine I’ll remember that my husband’s lawyers will make sure he never worked in uniform again I’ll own this whole Palace by the time we’re done the formation had reached their destination executing a perfect turn with the Precision that came from countless hours of drill

practice guard Windsor stood at his new post his bearing perfect his dedication to duty unshaken by the minor disturbance behind him mom the security officer tried again if you’d like to file a formal complaint we can complaint Debbie snatched up her Fallen phone checking it frantically for damage I’m going to do more than complain I’m going to sue I’m going to have the media here everyone will know how these thugs in fancy dress treat innocent women she jabbed a finger toward guard Windsor that man is a menace he’s dangerous he

should be in prison not playing soldier at a tourist attraction the veteran exchanged glances With His companion both men recognizing The Familiar pattern of entitled Behavior meeting immovable Authority they had seen it before civilian arrogance colliding with military discipline always with the same result the police have been called Mom the security officer informed her his tone making it unclear whether this was for her benefit or because of her behavior they’ll be here shortly to take your statement he paused choosing his next

words carefully and to discuss the matter of interfering with the Queen’s guard in the performance of their duties interfering Debb’s voice reached a pitch that made nearby pigeons take flight they interfered with me that Thug she jabbed a finger toward guard Windsor’s post assaulted me look at my hand she thrust her rened fingers toward the security officer’s face this is assault battery excessive use of force two police officers had arrived on scene their expressions suggesting they dealt with similar situations before the

female officer stepped forward notebook in hand ma’am I’m PC SAR readus can you please lower your voice and explain what happened what happened Debbie’s laugh was borderline hysterical I’ll tell you exactly what happened your precious guard attacked an innocent woman he body slammed me to the ground and then stomped on my hand I want him arrested immediately the male officer PC Thompson was already speaking with Witnesses the veteran and His companion provided their accounts along with several tourists who had captured the

entire incident their statements painted a markedly different picture than Debb’s version of events mom PC Mitchell tried again multiple Witnesses State you were warned repeatedly to clear the ceremonial path oh ceremonial path Debbie spat the words like they were poison this isn’t some military zone this is a tourist attraction I paid good money to visit this overrated Palace and that man another ENT gesture toward guard Windsor thinks he can assault me because of some ridiculous tradition she fumbled with her phone her injured hand shaking with

rage I’ve got lawyers on speed dial the best lawyers in London when I’m done that guard will be lucky to find work as a mall cop her fingers flew across the screen and wait until the media hears about this guard attacks innocent tourist that’ll make a lovely headline won’t it P Thompson rejoined them his notepad filled with witness statements Mrs Whitmore according to multiple accounts you were given at least six separate warnings to clear the path the guard’s actions were within established protocols for removing obstacles during

ceremonial duties obstacles Debbie’s face flushed an even deeper shade of red I am not an obstacle I am a paying visitor and stop calling it ceremonial duties like it’s some sort of real job they’re glorified tourist attractions walking around in those ridiculous hats pretending to be soldiers they are Soldiers momam the veteran interjected his voice carrying the weight of someone who had served active duty military personnel performing their assigned duties under orders the ceremonial aspect doesn’t change that fact did I ask for your

opinion Debbie rounded on him why don’t you go play dress up with them since you’re so fond of their little marching game she turned back to the officers her voice Rising again are you going to arrest him or not PC Mitchell’s voice remained professionally neutral mom based on the witness statements and your own admission of refusing to clear a designated military Patrol route we will not be arresting guard Windsor however we do need to discuss your actions today my actions Debbie’s Screech echoed off the palace walls I was assaulted

look at my hand look at my clo clothes she gestured at the dirt marks on her designer outfit this outfit cost more than that guard makes in a month I demand compensation I demand Justice a small crowd of tourists had maintained a respectful distance watching the scene unfold several children hid behind their parents While others openly stared at the spectacle of entitlement meeting its match the veteran and His companion stood nearby their presence a silent reminder of the real military Authority behind the ceremonial

facade this isn’t over Debbie declared jabbing her phone toward guard Windsor’s immobile form you hear me this isn’t over I’m going to make sure everyone knows what kind of thugs they’ve got guarding this place she turned back to the officers I want his full name his service number and his commanding officer’s contact information now PC Thompson cleared his throat ma’am if you’d like to file a formal complaint we can direct you to the appropriate channels however I should inform you that interfering with the Queen’s guard in the

performance of their duties is a criminal offense criminal offense Debbie’s laugh was sharp enough to cut glass the only criminal here is that uniformed Thug and if you won’t arrest him I’ll make sure my husband’s lawyers handle this we’ll see how tough he looks when he’s explaining himself in court the sharp sound of boots on Stone announced the arrival of Guard Captain Roberts his bearing carrying the unmistakable authority of a career Soldier the polished brass of his Insignia caught the afternoon sun as he

surveyed the scene before him taking in Debb’s disheveled appearance and the resigned expressions of the police officers what seems to be the problem here his voice though quiet carried the kind of authority that made everyone except Debbie stand a little straighter finally Debbie thrust herself forward her injured hand cradled dramatically against her chest someone in charge I demand the immediate arrest of guard James Windsor for assault and battery he attacked me without provocation and Mrs Whitmore Captain Roberts cut through her tirade

with military Precision I’ve already been briefed on the situation my guard acted entirely within protocol when you refused to clear a designated military route after multiple warnings protocol Debb’s voice rose again he body checked me to the ground he stomped on my hand what kind of protocol is that the captain’s face remained impassive the Queen’s guard are active duty military personnel operating under strict orders they are authorized to remove obstacles from their path using necessary Force the level of force used

is precisely calculated and practiced extensively are you actually defending this Debbie’s face contorted with rage do you have any idea who my husband is he’s your husband’s ident identity is irrelevant to this situation Madam Captain Roberts interrupted his tone suggesting he dealt with similar threats before what is relevant is your deliberate interference with a military unit performing its duties PC Mitchell stepped forward notebook still in hand Captain we’ve collected statements from multiple Witnesses confirming that Mrs Whitmore

ignored repeated warnings and deliberately positioned herself in the guard’s path of course they’re all backing each other up Debb’s voice echoed off the palace walls this whole place is just one big boys club with fancy uniforms well let me tell you something Captain whatever your name is this isn’t some military dictatorship you can’t just assault civilians because they’re in your precious path the captain’s response was measured each word carrying the weight of centuries of tradition Mrs Whitmore the Queen’s guard

are not a tourist attraction they are serving military personnel performing vital security duties their ceremonial role does not diminish their Authority or their responsibility to maintain their designated Patrol routes security duties Debbie’s laugh was bitter please I saw more security at my local shopping center at least they know how to treat paying customers with respect this is not a shopping center Madam Captain Roberts’s voice took on an edge of Steel this is a working Royal residence and military installation the

guards you see are combat trained soldiers who have earned their positions through years of dedicated Service Guard Windsor himself served two tours in Afghanistan before being selected for this Duty oh spare me the military fairy tales Debbie snapped waving her phone like a weapon wait until social media hears about this combat trained soldier attacks defenseless woman that’ll look great in the headlines won’t it Captain Roberts clasped his hands behind his back his posture impeccable Mrs Whitmore perhaps you’re

unaware that interfering with the Queen’s guard is a criminal offense under Section 28 of the armed forces act PC Mitchell PC Thompson I believe this falls under your jurisdiction now you can’t be serious Debbie’s voice faltered slightly for the first time you’re actually going to charge me after one of your toy soldiers attacked me guard wins executed his duty exactly as trained the captain continued unmoved the fact that you suffered minor injuries as a direct result of your own refusal to comply with lawful orders is unfortunate but

entirely of your own making Debb’s face had turned an alarming shade of purple lawful orders I’m a civilian you can’t give me orders this is assault plain and simple and I will not rest until py Mitchell Captain Roberts turned to the officer effectively dismissing Debb’s continued protests I’ll have my office forward you the relevant security footage and Duty logs I trust you can handle things from here this is outrageous Debbie’s voice cracked with Fury you can’t just ignore me I demand to speak to whoever’s in

charge of this entire operation someone higher up than you Captain Roberts turned back to her his expression unchanged but his voice carrying a final note of authority Mrs Whitmore this incident is now a police matter I suggest you direct your complaints through the proper legal channels in the meantime I recommend you reflect on the seriousness of interfering with military personnel in the execution of their duties right then Mrs Whitmore PC Mitchell stepped forward her demeanor professional but firm we’ll need you to

accompany us to the station to formally process this incident process Debbie’s eyes WI raed with disbelief process what I’m the victim here you can’t possibly you have two options PC Thompson interjected you can come voluntarily to provide your statement or we can formally arrest you for interfering with military personnel and disturbing the peace your choice the veteran who had tried to warn her earlier stepped forward One Last Time ma’am if I may sometimes accepting responsibility for our actions is the better part of valor

responsibility Debbie clutched her designer bag like a shield the only one responsible is that Thug in the red costume this is absolutely she stopped mid-sentence as PC Mitchell produced a pair of handcuffs you wouldn’t dare Mrs Whitmore Captain Roberts spoke one final time his voice carrying the weight of generations of military discipline your actions today demonstrated a profound disrespect not just for the uniform but for the principles represents these guards are not actors in a tourist show they are soldiers who

have bled for their country who stand ready to defend it at a moment’s notice the ceremony you mock is built on centuries of sacrifice and dedication I don’t care about your ceremonies Debb’s voice had taken on a hint of desperation this is assault battery false arrest my husband’s lawyers will your husband’s lawyers will find PC Mitchell cut in smoothly that every action taken today was fully within the law now shall we proceed to the station or do I need to read you your rights Debbie looked around wildly but

found no sympathy in the surrounding faces the crowd that had witnessed her behavior watched in silence as she was led away still protesting loudly about lawyers and lawsuits and social media Revenge Captain Roberts turned to address the gathered tourists his voice carrying clear Authority ladies and gentlemen thank you for your patience during this incident please remember that while we welcome visitors to witness our ceremonies These Are Not Mere performances every guard you see here has earned their position through years

of dedicated service they represent the finest traditions of the British Military and we expect visitors to respect both their Duty and their Authority as the crowd began to disperse the two veterans exchanged knowing looks the older one touched his campaign medals thoughtfully some people he mused never learn the difference between Authority and entertainment His companion nodded watching as Debbie’s continued protests faded into the distance pride comes before a fall he replied quietly and some Falls are harder than

others guard Windsor remained at his post his bearing perfect his discipline unshaken by the incident the afternoon sun glinted off his brass buttons and Polished Boots the same boots that had taught an entitled tourist a lesson about respect she wouldn’t soon forget the palace grounds returned to their normal routine the ancient Stones having witnessed yet another clash between civilian arrogance and Military discipline the outcome as always had been inevitable a reminder that some traditions endure not because they’re

relics of the past but because they represent time Timeless values of duty honor and respect what makes someone think they’re above tradition above respect above the very institutions that have stood guard over our civilization for centuries maybe it’s the Modern Age of instant gratification that convinces some people their personal convenience outweighs centuries of protocol or perhaps it’s the entitled belief that money and Status put them beyond the reach of rules that apply to everyone else but as we saw today some lessons

come at a higher price than designer outfits and legal fees the Royal Guards aren’t actors in a historical reenactment or theme park entertainers they are highly trained soldiers carrying on a tradition of service that stretches back through generations their discipline isn’t for show and their Authority isn’t up for negotiation next time you visit Buckingham Palace or any historical Institution remember this respect isn’t just about following rules it’s about understanding that some things are bigger than our individual wants or

conveniences the guard standing watched today may have served in Afghanistan yesterday and could be deployed tomorrow the ceremony you witness isn’t Just For Tourists it’s a living link to centuries of service and sacrifice so we want to hear from you have you ever seen someone mistaking Authority for entertainment treating those in uniform as if they were there for amusement rather than Duty how would you have handled this situation if you were in the crowd let us know your thoughts in the comments below we read every comment and love
