Maybe not their heads but I’m betting they lost their jobs.

Do the Brits have a base at the South Pole?

Many Americans mistook a Chicago community organizer as presidential.

I would think that the first step when you get a job like this would be to review pictures of the royal family very carefully.

Maybe the Queen told them to do it.

What? They aren’t familiar with the HVT’s they protect?
How the hell does that happen?
Even I know what that dork looks like.
Still, if it happened to me, I’d be laughing my ass afterward and maybe send those guy’s for tea at the Savoy, maybe send em to that pub on the bwck end of the palace or send em over to The Ruebens and let em get completely bombed.
They would have an escort and a room on the 3rd floor overlooking the palace grounds.

Maybe not their heads but Im betting they lost their jobs. Which won't do much for security in the future.

Wow, he IS looking OLD, though. He may have been difficult to recognize.

I think after a certain age, you probably shouldn’t be called “Prince”. “Backup King” would be better. It’s just embarrassing if you are over 60.

He’s not the backup king. At this point, he’s fifth in line for the throne.

"The police have a difficult job to do balancing security for the royal family and deterring intruders, and sometimes they get it wrong. I am grateful for their apology and look forward to a safe walk in the garden in the future." That, my FRiends, is class. It doesn't come with birth, it's earned.
