Prince William Shines Despite Scorching Heat as Three Soldiers Collapse! (Must-See Highlights) 

I served 12 years in our USAF and I agree!

Thank you 🤗🇬🇧

Those rifles they carry let you know they are real soldiers, not just ceremonial window dressing .

@@annemiura7767 Yes, I absolutely respect that.

It was 90degrees in the uk yesterday heat the people are not used to the king should have sent a message to cancel the rehearsal for the sake of the soldiers they were dropping like flies and look at what they have to wear plus the poor horses it was only the Kings birthday rehearsal after all 😢😢😮😮

A great example of dedication and teamwork. Wonderful to feel the energy form the crowd too, supporting all their work and efforts. Thank you for your service 🙏

GOD BLESS THE KING 👑. Thanks for a great show!! Congratulations King Charles III 👑👑🇬🇧🇦🇺🇬🇧

I’ll be glued to my television screen next Saturday morning. As I love watching this parade. When I served in the Army in the 70’s, 80’s I loved marching to the music of the band 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇬🇧🇬🇧🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

When playing soldier is more attended to than being an actual soldier with an actual army. And that's why your emperors have no clothes.👍👍💪💪

@@frank-ko6de Oh dear. Jealous much? Al of these men and women are serving soldiers who carry out their military and ceremonial duties with the same dedication, training and success. I suggest you research just where these troops have fought, triumphed and returned to their home bases. Some countries have centuries of military history. Some, have much less.

Absolutely, their discipline is exceptional. Thank you for your service!

Very fit young men, stand them still (particularly to “Attention”) after a bit of exercise and a lot of them will faint - regardless of how hot or cold it is. Happens to fit young women too, just not so prevalent amongst women

The bear hat weighs about .5 kg or 1.5 pounds and it's hollow.

I wonder if there is a way to use the bearskin hat to help prevent The Guards from passing out due to the heat? As it is effectively a long tube the height of it could be used to create airflow from around the circumference of the Guards head toward the top of Bearskin. Effectively this would use the chimney principle. The airflow would be relatively small but it would be there. I assume the inside of the Bearskin is probably made of some fairly rigid dark material? If so, it will probably get warm via solar radiative heating. This would then mean the inside of then tube would be warmer than ambient in the warm sunny conditions we see in this video. The wall of the tube would tend to heat the air mass inside the hollow tube of the bearskin. This means the air is slightly pressurised and any vents toward the top of the tube would allow this excess pressure to escape. The bearskin would need a small number (three?) of open/close-able vent ports towards the top of the vertical walls of the bearskin (not one’s at the top as even when closed they would probably leak rain water in). The vent ports would need to be on a latch mechanism so they were stable in both the open and closed position. The would be almost invisible under the black hairs of the outer Bearskin. I know it is breaking traditions to develop the Bearskin, but sometimes traditions need to be modified in light of operating conditions. The operation of the ports could be achieved via a modification to the chins strap. Has this sort of idea been tried in the past?

😂

@ Kathryn Clarke , Don't Forget to Thank ALL the Soldiers as well !!

​@@johnpearce3714yes waited couple hrs for William.. To join them must of been very hot for horses and many off them soldiers.. 👍

@@johnpearce3714 will do.

Perfect as usual!

A wonderful ceremony by all! 🙏

@@TheKingsGuardsChannel I appreciate the responses from @The King's Guards Official. Thank you!

Love the British traditions.🇳🇿

Especially the horses they are outstanding

Yes, but then we shouldn't overlook how many bears it took to make those hats.

Love William!!!!! True royal with beautiful Princess Kate.

the trick is that Darby, Wills horse who was given to him by the Canadian RCMP, is taken out early in the morning by the grooms and exercised for a couple of hours. By the time Wills gets on him (this happens with all the Royal horses) hopefully he's too tired to try any shenanigans that will end up with the Royals sitting in the dirt. The catch is that in the staging area, the horse must stand still for a long time while Wills takes the salute from all the regiments, and the horse often falls asleep. The Royal has to remember to cluck to the horse and pull on his reins to wake the horse up before they try to move off.....otherwise the horse will take a step or 2 while still out of it and will end up on his knees. (All the horses of the King's Guard are males....geldings. ) all the best to you!!

Me too

Yes remember they're all Trained Soldiers too as was I 💂‍♂️💂‍♂️💂‍♂️

the British don't like these German aristocrats nearly as much as you do. The Royals don't use their real names. Windsor and Mountbatten are made up names, they don't exist in history. This is to hide their German origins. All the aristocrats can go, they are useless and we don't need them. France doesn't miss them.

I am proud, thank you 🤗

I am proud too, thank you.

but our traditions are dying out. The young hate the country & our history so it will die soon 😢😢

@@joycegibbs5267 ..not all of our young feel that way, look how many were in the crowd at the coronation.

@@joycegibbs5267 how old do you think the Troopers are at Horse Guards? Not exactly looking at retirement are they?! 😳

and we thank him and all veterans and serving soliders for their service

Those men, & horses must have been so hot in yesterday’s weather, so Very Well Done for putting on a good Show. Does anyone know who was in the Carriage…was it Princess of Wales ?

@@minkgin3370 I think the carriage was empty. The real event is at the weekend.

Mai frumos e în coreea de nord

@@dumi7427 that’s great! Bugger off there then.

I am sorry to say I was so pleased to see King Charles on his horse full uniform doing very well in the heat wonderful to see him and princess Ann lease stop over commenting on William it is disrespectful to the King also commentary vertically ignored the Queen Camilla when the family got into the carriage to return I do think more respect is required.

Great wonderful event all troops horses and the whole parade in the heart bravo to all never stop these wonderful parades non better proud Aussie Cher's.

Truly outstanding! You could feel the heat bouncing off the ground already by 10am. All the servicemen and servicewomen were spectacular. Thank you for your dedication and service!

Your discipline is amazing! 🇦🇺🇸🇪🎉

Ask Prince Harry. He's made a living doing it.

So proud and I’m an Aussie.❤️🇦🇺

Rule what?

@@minabrite now be nice. The Empire has greatly shrunk and Londonistan is no joke. However let us enjoy our beautiful demonstrations like this of British traditions and skilled parade!!!

@@minabrite Well, Brittania!

Tout à fait de votre avis

you have clearly no idea whatsoever what is happening in the UK. Political correctness and Black LIves Matter is destroying the country. We are being invaded and these scoundrels at the top do nothing, they give them a free lawyer to run circles around the authorities.

@@coupezjacqueline4110 I agree with Mark Keller’s opinion, you can take yours elsewhere.

@@coupezjacqueline4110 Dieu merci, ils ne sont pas français. Tu n'as rien. Je sais, j'y suis allé. Vous aviez la grande Notre-Dame, mais vous les idiots l'avez brûlée. Content de l'avoir vu avant que tu ne le détruise.

Well said

I think Prince William has the presence and impact of one of the Old Kings.

I didn't know which one was Prince William!

Fascinating to see this

​@@adelasussman3838 i think he was on a horse. I kept looking for a head piece that was different. The only 1 i could think of was he was in front of the 3 black horses with 3 men in black suits, which were followed by a carriage. Maybe the King inside. Apart from that, i have no clue either..lol

Very glad you enjoyed watching our video! Hopefully you will get to see it in person one day! 🙏

I can only imagine being there, I can’t travel anymore. But watching is magnificent.

Their dedication is truly inspiring! Unwavering commitment and relentless to pursuit is commendable and that level of dedication sets them apart. Thank you for your service 🙏

Lol

I am not a Brit but I am proud of them too

Good for you, you found something you still can be proud of being British😅

Never forget them considering all the naysayers who want to tear down the monarchy. Your country is the envy of the world.

Wonderful!!! 👍💚🇿🇦

Wait until next Saturday when the full panoply of pageantry is on display. This is just the rehearsal.

@@hlwhhlwh2351you are right, this is just a little taste of what it is to come. No one does like them.

Glad you enjoyed the video!! The energy in real life was outstanding! Next week is going to be magnificent 🙏

You mean only in Great Britain. These soldiers are from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. (or as Sun Flower has already corrected me........only in The United Kingdom.......which is the correct terminology for Great Britain & Northern Ireland).

It will be "the Full Monty" next week (no naked men!) as the parade extends to down The Mall rather than just Horseguards with soldiers lining the route. The Trooping the Colour and inspection ceremony will be performed and then it's back to Buck House, the King on the balcony and a flypast of the Red Arrows etc.

Couldn’t agree more! Incredible dedication and teamwork from all!! Thank you for your service! 🙏

@@TheKingsGuardsChannel Are they KalashnikovS?

Yes even here in Australia I love to see the magnificent parades! 🇦🇺🎉

You should, I envy your country. America has a little bit but not enough people in America appreciate traditions.

What an awesome tradition to see. Congratulations to soldiers and Prince William. Watching from Australia

‘ Trooping the Colour ‘ actually ! 😘

Yes we have to beware of illegal invaders who will try to stop the British doing what is our heritage...

Hope the dont. Honours come frome the Crown. Kights, o b e, s The Garter

Absolutely, heatstroke can be dangerous and it's important to take care in extreme heat. Thank you for your service 🙏

That's what an experienced rider does. Their hands, seat, legs communicate with the horse.

@@equine2020 That's what I said.

His horse was dancing to the music!

Yes I was agreeing with you.

MT Goddard When did you last read about Brexit and our useless government?

Hello Ecuador such a nice comment ❤️

@@christinerose4839 Thank you!🙌👍💕💫

Harry, not so much.

@@Msfifisquarepantz At all, you mean!

Just had to mention him.. Didn't u.. No not a suger..

too true he is. Thank God for him Our late Queen taught him well from the age of around 10 years old, she taught him not only the basics but in depth what he would need to know .

It’s absolutely incredible isn’t it! Such a big feat, done with real precision and dedication. Thank you for tuning in! Much appreciated!

Wonderful! Glad you’re enjoying our videos! 🙏

Couldn’t agree more! Leading by great example already. God save the King and future King.

HRH the Prince of Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 is going to be a wonderful king, with HRH the Princess of Wales Catherine by his side and their wonderful children they are going to rule the Uk 🇬🇧 and commonwealth, I hope that I am still alive to witness their coronation,god save the king 👑🇬🇧❤️✌🏽

Well that's obvious. All of us know that

@@susanhannafin3793 glad you agree

29 degrees and humid, and wearing a heavy uniform and bearskin hat, also likely been up since 3-4am prepping for this so perhaps a little dehydrated or low blood sugar too.

Next week at the actual Trooping it could be cool and raining. The weather in The UK changes very quickly so they have to be prepared for whatever happens.

‘The Show Must Go On’

Thank you, wondering to hear! Glad you enjoyed watching it 🤗

My whole video image was blurred Where was Prince William ?

@@lventer165 On horseback, leading the carriage.

@@lventer165 9:12 and 18:15

Thank you… watching from US… I was also wondering where William was in the whole array of magnificence! Nobody does it like the UK!! pageantry at its finest!

Magnificent!! Spectacular!!

My father was in the Kings Troop RHA . This is their busy season just now . After all the ceremonials are over the horses usually go on holiday to the country. Lots of grass, swimming and just generally messing about . Beautiful creatures !

After an intense day like this, a refreshing treat would go down well. Cheers!

When the Irish Guards do the trooping they usually commission a special bottle of beer for every soldier who took part in the parade, when other regiments do it would probably depend on who can use the mess after the day's duties. The Harry Robertshaw special brew with compliments of the Irish Guards originated from a Private by that name (they were not called Guardsmen then) who died on France during World War one. His parting words to his family as he shipped out was "Buy my friends a drink" . His surviving family members donated the funds for this tradition to be kept.

Brits like their beer room temp.

@@Nancy-tr5fi Since most drink chilled lager these days you are about 50 years out of date.

♥LOL from the USA

Super glad you enjoyed our video! Definitely an incredible experience to see it up close. You can feel the dedication from each and everyone!! 🙏
