Who is the bearded man who is always with King Charles?

[ActualAl]

Over the last week or so I've noticed a man always with the king, in the front of his car, walking just behind him. I'm guessing he's security or similar, but curious to see if anyone knows who he is? He's putting in long shifts these days anyway!

Eh? Why not just have their hand on the gun? It's not exactly a mystery who they are. I'm guessing that it's a made up thing.

Looks like Hazel from the Umbrella Academy.

Mr Bond?

The fella with the beard reminds me of Mr Baxter from Grange Hill! Not the stuff of fantasy.

Whoever he is he needs to attend pen and ink training. In fact all those people around him do now he's King otherwise they'll be more tantrums.

After googling about the security I came across this

I would. All day long. That would take my mind off things…

I think the Asian guy is of Indian/ Punjabi/ Sikh decent .. he has becoming something of a celebrity on Instagram

The fun ones to try and spot are the security guys that ride on the back of the horse drawn carriages at weddings/Royal Ascot, etc dressed in traditional livery. The jackets never quite fit them properly, unlike the regular Mews staff who have their jackets adjusted to fit them as they use them on a regular basis.

It’s his Illuminati handler. Every time he does a hand sign it breaks his MK ultra programming. (Joke)

I think he’s gorgeous- so distinguished and handsome.

Oh hello!

Thanks for that suggestion!

Ding dong! 😉

😂 that's for Edwina Currie only, I think

DH was Close Protection - didn't guard Royals but did guard Ambassadors and (very) high ranking Military personnel.

Never heard of fake hands but the PPOs absolutely will be armed to the hilt under those jackets - which always remain unbuttoned, even when others have theirs buttoned up (another way to spot them sometimes)

DH used some tricks to make sure he could effectively guard his Principals, including, as one example, smuggling weapons in advance into venues where they were supposedly banned - it's interesting to hear what he got up to when he was in that line of work.

Incredible to think they absolutely would take a bullet for their Principal - takes a special sort 🤣

I was watching the parade from Buckingham Palace to Westminster Hall. Men in black walking along, try to look inconspicuous. Eyes scanning the crowd and muttering into his ear piece.

@Maireas @vegang me too!

He so does!

And me! That is what we call him - he was definitely in Wales today opening the car door

The Sikh chap is very very nice on the eyes. Very very nice. Very nice.

True specimen of what I'd call male.

Ahem

I like both - the Mr Baxter lookalike and the Sikh man (who has a very calm presence (on the telly))

😍😍

ah now be fair. If the Daily Mail was going to do a proper job on him I need to know the value of his house…..

Could someone perhaps provide a picture of the sikh chap..

There you go
