The British newspaper Daily Mail reveals the poor living conditions of King Charles’s guard.
The living conditions of the King’s Guard have made headlines in Britain. PDO
The Daily Mail reports of King Charles the guard lives in shocking conditions. The Royal Guards live at Wellington Barracks, less than 300 meters from Buckingham Palace. In front of it, tourists go to admire the historical buildings and take pictures. The inside of the barracks is actually a shack.
The elite soldiers who passed the strict selection screen have to live in conditions that you wouldn’t believe right away. The barracks are not cleaned much, so there is urine on the floor in the elevators and rotting rat carcasses accumulate in the trash cans. Garbage, on the other hand, is everywhere in the barracks’ apartments.
According to the article, bird carcasses, clogged toilets and mold-coated refrigerators are commonplace. You can see the pictures of the living conditions of the soldiers from here.
– This is a disgusting way to treat soldiers who do important work. Prisoners in Britain have better conditions than we do, commented a former member of the Coldstream Guard to the newspaper.

The soldier in question quit the Guard precisely because of the poor living conditions.
– I couldn’t take it anymore. I put up with it for many years, but nothing changed. The British must find out how the soldiers of this country are treated.
The situation is embarrassing because the royal guard played an important role of Queen Elizabeth During the funeral. Hundreds of soldiers who were at the funeral were accommodated in the barracks in poor conditions. According to the newspaper article, the conditions are related to a wider problem regarding the accommodation of British soldiers.
A total of five hundred soldiers from the ranks of five regiments of the British Armed Forces live in the barracks. These traditional regiments are the Grenadier Guards, Scots Guards, Irish Guards, Welsh Guards and Coldstream Guards. Since the 1660s, the soldiers’ job has been to protect the monarch and the royal palaces.
