Women have been in the ranks for decades. My mum was an ambulance driver in the same regiment as the queen and I was in the women's Royal Army Corp in the 70,& 80,s. The big change came when women were permitted to bear arms.I think in the 80s.
@@Tinrebel I think you may have misread: "young girls are now able to see". In other words, girls can look at these military women as role models, or envisage such a career as theirs. That wouldn't have been possible a few decades ago.

@John-G I do hope no-one is offended by what was intended as gentle humour! Perhaps I am old enough to remember Thelwell's wonderful (and very popular) cartoons of pony girls. I get the impression that in modern times riding is not very popular among boys and young men, but still very popular among girls and young women. I moved to Surrey from the West Country 3 years ago, and in trying to find somewhere that would sell a waxed jacket I found that the few shops selling country outdoor clothing were oriented almost exclusively towards young female riders.
You GO GIRLS!!! RESPECT for each and every one of you. How proud your familes are of you. How proud your country is for your service. As an American I am proud of you too.
@@peterang6912No, none of them have "combat experience". King's Troop are strictly ceremonial / public duties only, and they don't deploy operationally either as a unit or as individuals. It simply isn't their role. A very, very few will transfer to 'mainstream' RA but they seldom return to King's Troop afterwards. The only exception are the officers who are posted in for a two year tour, but in this case she hasn't. The medals are Jubilee, Coronation or LS medals, not operational medals. That's not knocking them at all, it's just what they do.
Kings Troop, Royal Horse Artillery. My grandfather served with them between the wars and again inWW2. He was adamant that he served in Royal HORSE Artillery, never the artillery.
My late father too served in the Royal Horse Artillery (later Kings Troop) He was stationed at St John’s Wood in the TA, pre 39 and after 45 as a reservist. I’m not sure what he would now think of all these ladies in his troop? But I know my mother wouldn’t like it ! 😉
These young people are all soldiers in the British Army. It is a sobering thought that most of the soldiers who fought in the two World Wars were the same ages, and younger than these soldiers. They do look wonderful in their uniforms. They know what their duty is for the country. I pray we never go to war.
No they don't and no it's not, and yes they are. HCMR do, but King's Troop have no such role. They're Jubilee and Coronation medals, with an LS&GC for some. Why over-egg the omelette like this? Aren't they good enough for you as they are?

The Sergeant's command voice was spot on (btw the spurs on her stripes means she's a riding instructor). The captain's command voice was merely so-so. Smiling isn't against the regulations but during an inspection it's not recommended.
The King's Guards are a group of five regiments in the British Army. They are responsible for guarding the Royal Palaces. In London, you can see them outside Buckingham Palace and St James's Palace. While they wear ceremonial uniforms when on duty but these are soldiers from artillery, tanks battalions and infantry and are all combatants. Respect for anyone in our armed forces these especially ❤️
The five regiments you refer to are the Grenadier, Coldstream, Scots, Irish and Welsh Guards. They are infantry,have active combat roles aside from guarding the monarch and are regularly deployed abroad. Together with the two regiments of the Household Cavalry they make up the Household Division. The King’s Troop is Royal Horse Artillery, an entirely distinct arm.
I wish a series could be filmed on the selection, training, and personal interviews of the women (soldiers). I am in the states and was in the military. Females were not permitted to be in combat arenas until the 80s. Hope that someday I will see them in person after I retire.
Well done! In my experience the female officers & NCO’s were far tougher on their own gender than the equivalent male officers/ nco’s. They hated being subjected to a lower or different standard! It was outside influences who suggest otherwise - cheers
What is noticeable in all these postings about the King's guard is that while the soldiers do their duty according to regulations, the armed police who watch them and the public are the ones who make sure it happens. There is no arguing with them if you want a happy day.
As a kid I loved "Woolwich at home" at the RA Barracks and especially the displays by the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery, this young Captain is hot and at least 50% of these ladies are not of British decent yet "we" are regularly accused of being institutionally racist.
Tradition. Its not just about how it has always been done. It is also about how it will always be done. The past, the present and the future converging.
The little girl on her dads shoulders is the most impressive thing here. Her dad thought it was important enough to stop and let his little girl see that anything is possible for anyone, regardless of gender or race. The world we live in the west is the best time in all of human history to be alive. That is why people from other places in the world want to live the dream too. Even the worst off in the west don't try to emigrate to developing countries. Western culture is not perfect but if others seek it out then there is something of value in it. Western culture and democracy is an ongoing process that will never be perfect but can always be improved on by people who serve, care and stand up. Every culture and society has its virtues and some societies not so much. Choice is the key, governments and institutions can persuade populations if they create trust. If there is no trust then it is fear that rules and whatever creates that fear is doomed to fail at some point. Institutional trust is the key and it is the biggest challenge to any society in modern times.
I must be getting old - they all look (and sound) like kids to me! I wonder how old they actually are and how long they have been doing this. I would also love to learn about the training they undergo.
Kings Troop has a very high percentage of female Gunners in it, as the girls love working full-time with horses and get the "perk" of living in London. The other "ceremonial" troops are actually active combat troops on rotation, but KB is a purely ceremonial unit.
Sorry, but my military training tells me that this young Captain got it wrong. That troop of soldiers were in the "ADVANCED POSITION", therefore the orders should have been "THE FILE WILL MOVE TO THE LEFT - LEFT TURN - FORWARD MARCH - LEFT WHEEL. First command = indication of movement, second command = execution of order/movement,- third command - forward march, followed by directional movement. I was taught by a Grenadier Guards Company Sergeant Major Drill Instructor, and God himself could not have protected me if I got it wrong.
Can only put my input in as a veteran of the United States Army but I believe the British armed forces work in the same manner. Being a ceremonial guard is likely only one assignment these soldiers will have in their military career. In fact they may have other duties in their current assignment as well as guarding. They are not "show" soldiers.
Can anyone confirm that the Kings Troop RHA are the only purely ceremonial unit within the Household Division, as in they are not regular front line personnel who volunteer for temporary duty with the Troop?

“Lady Captain”… yeah, that’s not a rank… 🙄
This is more like Halloween than modern warfare.
All short thick women. But still make the uniform look amazing.
good to see an all female guard
Why are they not equal to men in the UK. Here in my country they serve in the same units as men and of course they also parade with the same unit. And not in a segregated group
@@wzukr they doń´t always serve in a separate group
@@wzukrThat troop isn’t segregated, there was one man today but they have other men in the King’s Guard. Just depends on the rota.
There was one guy there and they definitely have other men in the KG.
@@wzukrThey're not in a segregated group. It's nonsense.
Please MoD, find the funds to fix the uniforms of these fine troops. The standard of tailoring is a public disgrace.
Their hats are unique ,do they have any meaning !
Please do not call them “hats.” Uniforms don’t have them. Google “busby”.
A tourist attraction. Strange people those Brithish (but with respect!)
