I once got caught up in Princess Anne's motorcade, surrounded by armed motorcycles and escorted into bolton and questioned. My son was in the back with a toy gun and kept shooting the police. My husband called later that day to tell me he'd be late home from work. He was part of the police operation that day and there was a debrief about an incident involving the motorcade. His language was colourful
It’s happens so fast and you only have seconds to respond. Did you tell him your name is not “Bond…….JAMES BOND”.
You should know better then
@@tinasteer2507 I was tempted to tell them I was James Hunt formula one driver. I wasn't allowed to stop at traffic lights or junctions I went so fast I swear my car left the road at the top of a hill. We did a 20 minute journey in less than 10 minutes. If I hit the brakes they waved a gun at me to carry on. You've no idea how hard it is to go through red lights
@@kevinnightingale-mcgovern7296 about what
No you didn’t
Yes, I heard the sirens but what you don't understand is that I have special privileges as I am on a bicycle!
Fact-Check : What sirens? MPS motorcade don't deploy sirens as this is not an emergency service or situation. Watch again and consider correcting your comments.
@@superyachtchef good grief man you are quite the joy aren’t ya?
@@CIA.Langley you can either acknowledge facts or you can live a lie (Boris Johnson 2008)
Yeah but it has lights that the cyclists can clearly see.
@@superyachtchef funny how it was him who said that 😂. How ironic
When you're single handedly saving the planet on 2 wheels there's no time to stop at lights and no time to obey the law... If he's stuck there then who's going to ride on the pavement screaming at pedestrians for being where pedestrians are meant to be? That victim status won't claim itself, he needs to keep those wheels moving, I can't believe the absolute nerve of these people interupting his day.
Learn the law before making an idiot of yourself
There are no rules to this arrangement, non of the public are trained in how to respond to a motorcade instruction. But it is important to understand that a motorcade will not normally stop for anything or one, so the public should take care and protect themselves by being aware of their surroundings.
@@superyachtchef There are laws in place, and the cyclist is breaking them, as they always do... But cyclists are usually deranged and have such damaged psychology they're able to claim victim status in every situation.
Had he not been so self important and ignorant he wouldn't have ended up in that situation. There's so much media and information telling everyone how fragile and vulnerable cyclists are, but cyclists ignore it all and ride like they're invincible.
Save the planet lol behave

Cyclists in London are insane. I grew up driving in Birmingham a big city but they terrified me in London jumping lights and breaking so many rules of the road.
What laws? It is completely legal to cross on red light on a toucan crossing.
@@acceleratedsloth no it isn't.
So many w ⚓ s
So basically like everywhere in the UK

Poor fellow was confused by the new highway code, thought he had right of way over the future king.
You beat me to it.🤗
Technically he does have priority over Willie's driver, he's a cyclist above the car driver in the new highway code,, hierarchy , naughty, naughty Willie's chauffeur.🧐
@@ianhill4585 Nah, the cyclist is still subject to Section 163 of the Road Traffic Act (1988).
@@nkt1 Not quite a motoring stop for an offence commited or a doc's check, more a VIP, "I'm more important than you," stop.
@@ianhill4585 Indeed, but the law would appear to make no distinction. Police officer says stop, you stop, end of story.
@@nkt1 Countered by the cyclist being the second most vulnerable person using the road, yes ,however tenuous ,163 would apply, but it makes a mockery of the new,well thought out hierarchy of vulnerability. VIP status overrules that, privilege on display.
Why does 'royalty' feel they have to be driven around in a group of vehicles surrounded by police motorbikes. One car, with suitably tinted windows, would draw far less attention and be just as safe. I guess its just another way of proving how important they are, my arse!
Unfortunately, my experience is that cyclists in London think they're both above the law and above everybody else.
Almost every day on the way to or from work I end up having to jump out the way of cyclists who fly through red lights at pedestrian crossings while I'm crossing... At busy times they're often darting through small gaps in a big crowd of pedestrians crossing the road.
Occasionally, I've also been screamed at by the cyclists for being in their way even though they were going through a red light.
So it unfortunately doesn't surprise me to see a cyclist ignoring a motorbike with blue flashing lights telling them to stop.
Please don’t stereotype all cyclists as the same. As a cyclist I could say the same about pedestrians who are too busy looking at their phones, instead of looking what’s ahead, in front of them when they cross the road, stepping out onto the road suddenly, without paying attention to an oncoming cyclist.
@@lg5819 when I don't have to jump out of the way of cyclists who go through red lights almost every single day then I will be happy to.

It’s not just in London and since these idiotic new rules were put in place they have been riding 4 abreast on the road deliberately slowing traffic and laughing about it. They’re a bloody nuisance.
Hey. Don't blame each other. Blame the design of the system. There should be footpaths, cycle lanes, and roads; as much as possible, no sharing.
An ordinary Range Rover and no one would know who was in it
Money well spent!!
Except terrorists who actually infiltrate, intercept info and research when making their plans...
It only goes to prove how observant the outriders need to be and how stupid some cyclists and pedestrians can be!
oh wouldn't it be funny if you were crossing the road on a green light and a police motor bike chops your leg off ? you could marry a Beatle and have a nice life ! lets just hope it happens and you will be happy for ever
@@robertovers1863 Crossing the road on a green light should be done off the cycle, not on it. And it helps if you're not listening to the Beatles in your earphones, and listening out for police signals instead.
don't forget...it's london....lots of "qualified" folk there.....
Come off it, the stupid pigs think they are Barry Sheen/Carl Fogarty. They almost ran a woman over just before that. Its evil the number of people the crooked cops kill in motoring incidents. And I mean the completely innocent people.

The crossing point clearly displays a red light to cyclists and pedestrians crossing, so like many cyclists clearly ignored this also🙄
It's not the law to follow it, jaywalking is not a crime in the UK
@@MichaelGeorge161 he's on a bike, not walking, so jaywalking is irrelevant. If he wants to be a pedestrian he has to dismount his bike, otherwise road laws apply.
@@keithcolman9868 Not if it is a toucan crossing
@@MichaelGeorge161 yes if its a Pelican crossing. Rule 81. "Do not ride across equestrian crossings, as they are for horse riders only. Do not ride across a pelican, puffin or zebra crossing. Dismount and wheel your cycle across."
That's twice you have incorrectly quoted the law. Can't believe anything that you say now.
@@keithcolman9868 82
Crossings. Toucan crossings are light-controlled crossings which allow cyclists and pedestrians to share crossing space and cross at the same time. They are push-button operated. Pedestrians and cyclists will see the green signal together. Cyclists are permitted to ride across.
That was William on the cycle, fooled everyone, ..
I bet William doesn’t complain about the traffic when he on his bike but tell him to watch out for potholes 😢😢😢😢😢😢
@@cliffordbuttle4529 another week 😥 😔 another week 😥 next Monday next Monday 😥 😔
The general car driver and other road users are very helpful to our emergency vehicles
but then you have that weird animal called, "the cyclist", who, for reasons best know to themselves, ride without any awareness of other road users at all and now they even have a law which tells them to do just that. Lunacy!!!
It’s not an emergency, these “royales” don’t get to interrupt society for a trip to their Michelin star restraunt
That's him that preaches about the planet be needs to practice what he preaches
Always the bloody cyclists... Can't these people respect any rule of the road?
No, because they’re saving the planet so nothing else matters! When are the government going to do something about these idiots? They need insurance and a registration of some form!
@@Cookie2k couldn't agree more!
Because there are no idiots that drive motor vehicles 🙄
No we cant what u gonna do? I rather die in the road like that
No they can't.....itsbecause they are "cyclists".....
So did William get to Harrods before it closed?
Don't think, They shop there anymore? You know, since the "incident" in Paris!
@@eoinf2773 Al-Fayed sold it probably to some fat arab so-called prince.
those cute cycle men for William....
Typical cyclist,think that rules or even just common sense don't apply to them.
Out of the way plebs important people coming through.
Our Lords and Masters. Old Phil used to drive himself about in a Black Cab.
Old Phils was on another level in every area of human existence. Just watched long interview with him last night. He was a legend.
Think that was Jimmy Saville?
It was green actually
So how much doe's all that cost the UK taxpayer? Perhaps Prince William should keep a low profile and just get a bloody black cab or Uber FFS.
Good old cyclists.... Don't you just love them!!!!!!!!!!
*Cyclist: "YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE!"*
Prince William has a very strange taste in transport i hope he's got his firemans helmet on!
He cycles off a pavement on a red light and nearly is taken out by the future King. Complete and utter (insert suitable not complimentry word here).
This country is so mental. When will we do away with these people....
I agree, cyclists are a menace to public safety.
Hopefully we can abolish that parasitic family soon
Three cars, at least 4 bikes. Another tick for the green agenda.
A whole motorcade of gas guzzling cars for one environmentally concerned person
Looks like far too much fuss n taxpayers..
What a surprise, a cyclist breaking the law. Cycling on a path and using a pedestrian crossing!
Nah, no way I'd be putting all that attention on me. I'd be driving myself, 1 car of security behind, nothing more.
It is NOT prince William. It is the motorcade for a European head of state.
2:02 takes some skill to take a bend like this with a 1800 litre tank on the back - In South Africa our Response pumps have a capacity of 3500 litres, and you can really feel it on bends. The back windows has a metal bar across it so that you don't fall out when taking a bend at 60km/h
It's never ever loaded.
We all know that common sense and the rules of the road don't apply to cyclists.
Should it really take this much to simply move 2 people around London. Seriously, it's not like they do anything of significance other than consume large amounts of resources....
In a plain vehicle, no fanfare, nobody would notice. This just draws attention.
They gotta let the rest of us peasants know that they've arrived
Just like in the states. Bicycle riders think signs/signals don't apply to them.
Royals should behave. They definitely can move in London without motorcades.
i lived here for about 3 years and i really liked it, but it was far too expensive and i had to leave. its a very friendly place. with that in mind you have to consider these places as 'closed cities' and there is little more you can do but to move on. its a terrible european disease of property speculation thats deeply affected the uk too.
it's a friendly place my @rse. From Camden Town to South Kensington scum of different types.
What on Earth are you talking about ?????
@@howard4510 im saying we are watching the collapse of the middle class gene pool. 😅
@@howard4510he’s saying that London is too expensive for him to stay in. Wasn’t that hard to understand tbh
And this is why cyclists shouldn’t be allowed on the road if they don’t possess a drivers licence and if this cyclist does he should surrender it immediately!
It's Prince William ! OMG ! Gasp ! Does that mean he should get priority over every crossing, regardless of anybody else's needs ?
This is what Harry wants in every country. Imagine the added expense for a non working royal? It would look good though for Netflix and make him and Meg's feel full of self importance.
Harry is officially not apart of the royal family so he can shouldn’t have no protection what so ever
you won’t even pay 20 cents for expenses, but I agree about Gary, he showed his disrespect to the royal family and let him roll to America
Are you sure that was just not a give way for the cyclist , like a red light , like a stop sign . Cyclist has right of way especially to the morgue .
All because he was in a hurry to get to a party with Prince Andrew
Can't believe that happened, that poor woman who nearly gets run over, talk about OTT
Whats OTT about it..
To be fair, the guy probably didn't notice that it was a motorcade, or that there were cars there at all. He's a British cyclist.
He's saving the planet with all those engines.
Yes! It rather trashes your green aspirations when you need a four car convoy with motorcycle outriders to travel everywhere.And the royals have the brass neck to tell us we should be green. Hypocrisy at it's best.
@@folkme3042 Yeah you hypocrite moaning whilst using your ungreen smart phone
I wish I could think of snarky things to say
@@tazuk01 folk me doesn't lecture the peasants about "saving the planet. Whereas the hypocrite in the range rover does!
@@tazuk01 Yeah,but I don't preach at people to be green whilst travelling around with a fleet of cars and motorcycles.
All that money for one Prince to gatecrash traffic!
Typical cyclist, thinking he owns the road.
Love watching the Special Escort Group at work.
So highly trained and an excellent example of team work in action 🏍👏🏻
This sort of thing doesn't do much for the environment.
What cars you mean??
Heh... in US that cyclist would already grabbing his teeths from the street after Secret Service agents would throw him to the said street very violently. 😈
Just a typical cyclist not only ignoring a red light but a police officer as well.
What a waste of money, if he just drove himself around in a regular car, no one would be none the wiser!
Modern day security, 100 years ago they would been the equivalent of security but on horse back. Just modern times,. And we have more threats on are royals.
Future King ...
@@xxyxnxwxaxx9724 -yep like the US courts
Yeah, no terrorist would ever guess it. You are a freakin' genius!
Sometimes, my heart aches for London. Mostly, I'm glad that I made it out when I did.
London is a Great City.
was a great city. 80 years ago
@@noimnotarobotcanubeleiveit7024 was, exactly right.
All that fuss for a ponce.
Rubbish, the police and security services ALWAYS have right of way. That self-entitled git knew damned well that he shouldn't have crossed a motorcade.
Which law is that?
I love the way that the outriders have it all worked out by bypassing each other, cool…
It works like clockwork .... until a cyclist decides to screw it all up. Imagine how easy it would be for a terrorist.
They're the metropolitan police special escort group. They specialise in moving VVIP's through London traffic while minimising disruption to other road users and not closing roads. They don't use sirens to keep things pleasant for the person in the convoy, don't have a preplanned route for security reasons and always keep the principal moving. Also all armed which is unusual in the UK.
Got to be the best job in the met, racing round on a BMW.
@@charleswhite758 How did he screw it up? He has as much right to on the road as the dickheads in the motorcade.
@@donaldbarnett4447 he went through a red light for starters….
Even in front of royalty cyclists think they own the bloody road.
Odd I was a Royal or President one of my first orders would be that I didn’t want to see flashing lights or hear sirens from my motorcade.
What a fantastic waste of tax payers money.
Why watch if you’re only going to comment something negative? If we didn’t have a royal family then our country would lose hundreds of millions in profits they bring in from tourism. You say waste of taxpayers money but we both know you sit at home all day like a lonely virgin unemployed eating away at MY tax. Get a job but more importantly, get a life.
This is what Ginge's envy is for, full on Police escort with Megain!
Exactly the Harkles want all the privileges but hate being Royal lol.
What a waste of SPACE and MONEY for this
FREE LOADER!
Get out of the way so some rich kid can get some where at our expense!
I have seen them passing by me many time with all those cars and security and every time my intuition tells me that this entitlement and privilege is WRONG.
He is our future king. He has to be protected at all costs.
Like the rest of the family he's a peado.....open your eyes
why?
None of the royals should get special privileges there no one important and don't work... although the cyclists shouldn't have jumped the red lights he was most probably on the way to work or an an appointment unlike the royals on a jolie why do we still have a royal family still. had the lights been green the then motorcade would need to wait for the lights to change again if I'd have been cycling in the area and the lights were in my favour then I would carry on with the exception of the fire service and ambulance definitely not for the pigs
What a waste of police resources

Your education?
I'd imagine any trip would be fraught with danger for the royal pair in a convoy of JLR vehicles, you would be constantly expecting the things to breakdown at any moment. Probably a good idea to have a AA or RAC van in the convoy next time guys.
Naahh its ok there's a volvo in there...haha
😂👍
Those Mondeo estates at 1.50 looked seriously overloaded !
yeah thall be 6 points on your licence and 500 quid mr plod for exceeding the speed limit on those motorbikes, crossing a solid white line , no signals...............oh wait one law for us
Such easy targets. Frightening
What makes you think that? Several have tried, none have succeeded.
Only one person in the whole motorcade knows the route and that's the biker leading the cars. He adjusts the route on the fly depending on traffic, experience and maybe how he feels.
So to attack your going to have to be mobile and try to catch them.
Then you need to contend with several armed bikers plus the security detail inside the armoured vehicles.
Please explain how anyone is going to attack a motorcade on an unknown route without drawing a lot of unwanted attention before they can even remotely near the primary subject.
When my son was about 11 years old he entered a Jaycee Relay Race. He’d never ran track before and didn’t know everybody wore shorts. He came in jeans, to everyone’s amusement. He ran the last leg for his team - and came away the fastest runner of the day, and made up considerable distance to win. This video made me think of that day. How I wish I had been able to see it, instead of only hear and read about it. I was a single mom and had to work. My son was an amazing athlete. ❤️
Oh wow, what part of this video reminded you of that time
Your entire comment is a lie.
A criminal being driven around by criminals on a gangster needs this protection.Disgusting
King of Thailand's motorcade has a vast number of red cars trailing behind HRH's Rolls Royce.
Had a so called motorcade come up behind me in the fast lane of the M3 when I was doing the limit overtaking a line of traffic..obviously racing up close to the ton and expecting me to disappear out of their way in a trice..its not formula 1 guys
No, Formula One is fake and a joke, a royal motorcade is real life and deadly serious. Next time get out of the way.
No such thing as a “fast lane”. There is an inside lane and then a number of over taking lanes, as you are expected to return to lane 1
@@charleswhite758 The F1 analogy seemed to fly straight over your head somehow? The commenter said they was overtaking so couldn’t necessarily re-enter the line of traffic safely. Pressuring drivers to drive illegally and dangerously is not okay. There is no legal exception allowing drivers to break the speed limit to make way for even emergency vehicles never-mind a motorcade.
@@samueltaylor2757 What is "the limit" in the fast lane of the M3 Motorway? Don't tell me it's 70 or I'll LMAO.
The guy sounds deliberately obstructive. I'd press on to 90 to get out of the way, if my car was capable of it - but one assumes the traffic in the middle lane would slow to allow me to cut in, so I probably wouldn't need to go beyond 80.
Common sense dictates that no prosecution would result from taking such an entirely reasonable action. "Work to Rule" is what disgruntled trades unionists do to annoy their employers - i.e. by following the rules to the exact detail rather than working around the rules where appropriate in a spirit of co-operation.
@@charleswhite758 I get what you are saying but everyone and situation has a different risk profile and neither of us were there. Advanced drivers are trained not to pressure the public into breaking any highway rules.
Personally I have little sympathy for individuals that need motorcades compared to emergency response workers.
All theatre.....
Thank you so much
Oh dearie me, poor Williams probably now got PTSD.
Why was prince William in such a rush.
To get to epstien Island
That cyclist is not untypical at all, even more entitled now the priority given .
that was an interesting one with a landrover following a blue light ambulance. what was that all about? was that a member of the royal family in there?
No wonder the royal family never receive a traffic ticket.
The prince who preaches equality and lowering carbon emissions by having a motorcade of range rovers clearing peasants out the way. Usual kleptocratic transatanic hypocrisy, how royal; her folks must be proud.
Good on that Cyclist!!!
I wouldn’t pull over to the side..why should I so an over privileged family can go and count their billions whilst the rest of the country falls apart
He must be very proud not complying with the elite.
I have so little respect for the royals that disturbing traffic and frankly abusing their power for nothing more than personal convenience makes me sick.
It's for the convenience of those assigned to protect them, who would have a much harder and more stressful job if the Royals insisted on getting stuck in traffic like everyone else.
The Monarchy is giant waste of tax payers money. And no they don't bring tourism. That's a myth.
Why the hell is being such fuss about these people. They are just ordinary like others, with one difference, they got possession much more than ordinary hardly can imagine. I was really entertained seeing that palace of Mr. Harry in US, its really long way to the reality how they are depicted, actually how they wanted to be seen by public.
As a cyclist I can say that we are above all of you common people so we don’t need to respect your rules.
Disgusting waste of public money, how many Ukranian refugees could this have helped?
