The guy with the beard is a Cop . Usually inspector rank and all you’ve seen is how most top level cops are . Politeness isn’t weakness , it’s a communication skill with 99 % of the public . 1 % don’t get that level of politeness . They get the robust and the unforgiving .

@@garagenigel stop watching James Bond films, prince william has around the clock security called SEG (special escort group) who are either ex special forces or special forces trained and he / they carry a side arm, glock 17 to be precise not sub machine guns.

Impressive, top grade people. I had an uncle who served 27 years in the army, retiring in 1960 with the rank of Regimental Sergeant Major, and was then recruited as a Royal bodyguard though he never told anyone (including his wife) what his job was. Wasn't hard to figure out because where The Queen went, he went too ! No finer man ever walked this Earth.
That's not how royal security is done. Bodyguards for the royal family all come from the Police force as part of the Protection Command section of the Metropolitan Police, and specifically from the Royal Protection section. You don't just join it. You have to be in the police first and if he retired as an RSM then he's too old to join the Met and won't have ANY skills they need for an exception to be made.
@@iatsd Well, he was only 43 when he retired from the army, which doesn't sound like too old to me. Secondly, I would have thought that the first requirement was to find people whose loyalty and ability to behave to the highest standards was beyond question - qualities that my uncle had in spades ! You're correct about members of that unit coming from the police TODAY, but was it always so ? And how do you explain his movements matching those of The Queen and his secrecy about his role ?
@@Kevin-mx1vi It's been that way since New Scotland Yard existed under various organisational structure. Look it up on Wikipedia if you don't believe me.
Perks for refering to them as close protection, as ex CP myself it's disappointing how many times I've had to explain it to people as being a "body guard" because they dont know the correct term/job title
Kudos to the respectful security staff, I noticed Prince William thanked the guy who was holding the door for him too, manners cost nothing, respect all round!
@paulcullum1473 yeah, manners are the easiest things to find when you spend your life letting everyone else pick things up for you and foot the bill. One day maybe the other 60 million of us 'lesser' types might catch on with that manners thing, every day of our lives since we became adults.
@@stellaanimo4172 load of bollocks. Ask us Irish how polite the Brits are. Came to Ireland, stole land, colonised, brutalised and oppressed the Irish nation. Got sent packing though, underestimated the resolve of the Irish. They still remain in the small north eastern part of the country where they planted their presbyterian bothers. Not be long now though until they are banished and the Gaels take back their land which is rightfully theirs.
Now that is the way to do it, its not so obviously in your face. its clean and polite and bystanders even missed the prince because nobody suspected a thing.
Security geezer 1:08 built like a brick shithouse, hard as nails, undoubtedly been there, got the t-shirt - very impressive. Though what really makes him the genuine article is his tact, diplomacy and warmth. He's a credit to Protection Command.
Excellent , top class this security officer , very polite , the way everybody should be . The world would be a better place if all of us could be like him .
Can you imagine how this would have gone if it was ‘presidential’ security detail? Screaming, shouting barking orders guns, helicopters ambulance services etc. 😂
Was it perhaps an unexpected? Fine to meet Prince William in Central London, also Royals have their normal life. You caught him at the right moment, as it usually happens to you! Thank you for filming and posting for us.

The bearded officer is a proper gentleman. It's a very responsible job he's got, and has to be very serious about it... but he was still able to manage that big smile and say "I'd take my camera out if l was you". What a very polite friendly gentleman 🤗
What an awesome security officer. The way he handled the group I would want to stop just because of how nice and professional he was. Here in America I would never stop for some security guy with a celebrity. Well Done.
I’ve photographed members of the royal family on several occasions and they generally have 4 guards around them at all times. I’ve seen how they handle anyone who gets too close and it’s astonishing. With a big smile and the slightest press of the wrists they can remove anyone from the situation. Polite and extremely professional.
What a contrast to our family visit to Bear Grylls 'Gone Wild' festival at Holkham House earlier this year, we walked past him (Prince William) several times in the grounds of the event, so relaxed and with his family.
I do sometimes wonder how difficult life can be for all those who need this level of security and those that provide it. I'm a dreamer that wishes it should not be so but it is needed sadly.
Yes I agree and the amount of burkas around Marble Arch, Oxford Street, Mayfair is unbelievable. They expect you to step to one side whilst they pass as well!
Others have already commented on the obvious but I'd like to add that you won't find an American security agent being as polite and gentlemanly as the Close Personal Protection officer in this video! Civility does exist in the U.S. but it is in rapid decline.
Hats off to the bearded protection officer. Very well mannered with the public. A credit to the detail.
A few Arabs could learn such basic English manners ... 👀
😂😂😂😂😂😂I didn't noticed he had a beard went back to watch 😳
He is bafta detail, which is why he didn't leave with them
Never worked with a protection officer who advised someone to take their camera out to take a photo, so private security methinks. 🤣
lol. Weird.
10/10 for the security team, polite, respectful, considerate and very professional. Well done.
Yeah... don't know why the title says 'NEVER MESS WITH THIS ROYAL BODY GUARD' 🤔

How wonderfully British. Please wait a few seconds folks, I can't tell you the future King is about to pass but have your cameras at the ready. Bravo!
Far to many woman in the force who are overweight and just small and weak.. And if the guards are not armed, there usele
It isn't everyday that you get to see close -up a Royal Prince of the blood !
@@Anglo-Brit They are armed . They have pistols discreetly concealed in shoulder holsters under their jackets.
And probably shotguns and SMGs in their support vehicles
Yes, that was a marvelous clue indeed, very graciously delivered ❤
Some of the dumbest shit I've ever seen
Nice to see well trained security people doing their jobs impeccably. A very polite guard explaining nicely what's happening .😅
You could see the bulges under their coats. Maybe they've got guns concealed in shoulder holsters.
Shame they can't protect our borders
It's not the obvious looking ones that are the most capable. Ex SF guys will be in the area but will just appear to be regular civvies.
And then thanks them for their graciousness and wishes them a lovely day.
Yep.
Top bloke.
Kudos to the security guy ASKING rather than telling
Until someone refused and then they’d be told!!
a professional.
Oh I think everyone understood they were being told, in a very respectful manner, by a man that absolutely WILL act if you do anything other than follow his 'request'.
@@BF1GUN But the fact that he asked, people respected that and did as he asked, I saw no one refuse
@@johnb6749 Of course they did, but he could have just shouted that the way forward was closed till he said so, but he didn't, he asked
I love how polite his private security guard was! You don’t see that here in the US!
No that's because they were all over the ex President not letting him walk out of a build ing alone
@@bob-ui5ox huh?
@@bob-ui5oxHe was sooo popular due to his impeccable manners and heroic leadership!
Right? 🤔🙄
Me too ❤
He’s not private security at all. He is a member of the Close Personal Protection Unit of the RaSP command of the London Metropolitan Police
Big guy with the beard......conducting himself like a proper gentleman.
Still a tyrant though.
Wow what a great security team, an superb people skills. Impressive.
We could use these guards in The States to guard our future president Trump. You know the democratic socialist party is trying to kill him.😢😢😢
You have no idea how bad they were

Why do we still need a monarchy? Outdated institution
