Having a bit of craic is very much verboten at Buckingham Palace.

A Granadier Guard at Buckingham Palace has been put under investigation after being caught on camera fooling around in front of tourists.

By fooling around, incidentally, we don’t mean anything biblical.

No, our friend simply did a pirhouette or two, bent down to pick something up, loving stroked the royal box he was guarding (oh nurse!) and walked in slow motion.

All a bit of harmless fun, until the guard in question found himself under investigation by the Ministry of Defence.
