For over three centuries, they have been protecting the royal residences. They are selected from one of five infantry regiments.

The Queen’s Guard follows a disciplined code of conduct. If someone blocks their progress, they will often shout, “Make way for the Queen’s Guard.”

Regarding the incident with the tourist, the Ministry of Defense explained, “The Household Division is proud to guard Her Majesty and honored that people come from around the world to watch our ceremonial spectacle.”

However, the Ministry also warned the tourists that the ropes are there for a reason and it would be unwise for the tourists to cross them.

'The ropes are there to protect both the public and our soldiers; please stay behind them,' the online source quoted the Ministry as stating.
