It seems that Biden was unaware of the protocol that prohibits the Royal Guard from engaging in conversation while on duty. Whether this was due to a lack of briefing or his declining mental ability is unclear. However, it is quite comical to imagine the President trying to initiate a conversation with a stoic Royal Guard, only to be met with silence.

The Royal Guard, known for their toughness and dedication, are considered some of the best that Britain has to offer. According to Reader’s Digest, their stoic expressions and inability to smile or laugh while on duty is part of their tradition and unique charm. It must have been quite amusing for onlookers to witness Biden’s attempt to elicit a response from these vigilant guards.
In a video shared on social media, King Charles III can be seen shuffling Biden along, much like one would gently guide an elderly grandfather. This interaction further highlights Biden’s frailty and his struggle to keep pace with the younger and more agile members of the royal entourage.
It is clear that Biden’s physical and mental decline is becoming more evident with each public appearance. It is questionable whether he will be able to stand for re-election, given his lack of awareness and ability to navigate simple social cues. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of electing leaders who are fit for the rigors of the job, both mentally and physically.
In conclusion, the encounter between Biden and the King’s Royal Guard was a humorous yet telling moment that highlighted the President’s unawareness and declining mental ability. It is imperative that leaders possess the necessary cognitive and physical capabilities to effectively carry out their responsibilities. This incident serves as a cautionary tale for future elections and the importance of selecting leaders who are up to the task.
