A touching video has captured a rare moment of kindness as a King’s Guard broke tradition to acknowledge a young blind boy’s salute, creating an emotional scene outside the palace.
The King’s Guard, known for their strict discipline and unwavering protocol at Buckingham Palace and St James’ Palace, rarely engage with the public. However, in an exceptional moment, one guard made a special gesture for eight-year-old Amin, as reported by The Mirror.
Guided by a voice off-camera, Amin confidently approached the guard and stamped his foot in salute. In response, the guard—dressed in full ceremonial uniform—broke his usual stance and returned the salute, stamping his foot in a show of respect.
A video of the touching exchange, shared on Twitter/X, was captioned:
"King’s Royal soldiers, usually banned from speaking to visitors in England, bent the rules for a blind child."
Adding to the moment, Amin cheerfully wished the guard a good day before walking away, leaving viewers deeply moved by the rare display of warmth and humanity from the royal sentinel.
