Confusion as The King's bodyguards’ hands appear to be fake

Confusion as The King's bodyguards’ hands appear to be fake

People are trying to work out if King Charles' bodyguards are wearing fake hands

People can't make their minds up if King Charles' bodyguards are using fake hands or not. Take a look for yourself below:

You'd hope that the security force which looks after the Royal Family have all the relevant resources at their disposal - kind of like James Bond's MI6.

Over the years, when it comes to bodyguards, we've heard rumours that they use fake hands and arms in order to keep the likes of an FN-P90 rifle, which would fit comfortably under the coat at disposal - should the worst happen.

For example, this gun is supposedly used by Secret Service Emergency Response Teams and, apparently, can be loaded with 50 rounds of ammo.

As shown in the clip above, TikToker Jason has zoomed in on the hands of a couple of the King's supposed body guards and reckons that they aren't moving.

The still hands suggest that perhaps there could be a weapon hidden underneath their coat.

It's hard to tell for sure as people in the comments can't quite make their mind up what's going on.

One person commented: "Yes they have guns," while someone else said: "Lol why are people questioning it. It’s established that this happens."

A third thought: "Yes. That’s the king, of course his security have their hands on their guns."

Another added: "Jacket is un buttoned for quick draw."

"Open jacket means security. You can tell by his facial and eye movement," someone else agreed.

However, not all were on the same wavelength, as one person wrote: "What are you on about."

Someone else suggested: "Or… the guy needs to keep his hand down and unfolded due to his pistol or firearm being under the jacket. So he needs to be ready to fire at all times."

"Bros trying too hard," another quipped, while one person thought: "The guy you highlighted is not his security."

It's obviously hard to know for sure.

King Charles III ascended to the throne immediately on the death of his mother, Elizabeth II.

Charles said in a written statement: “The death of my beloved Mother, Her Majesty The Queen, is a moment of the greatest sadness for me and all members of my family.

“We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished Sovereign and a much-loved Mother.

“I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the Realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world.

“During this period of mourning and change, my family and I will be comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which The Queen was so widely held.”
