King Charles III’s “sausage hands” aren’t the only royal mitts raising eyebrows online.
A closeup of a bodyguard's clasped hands.TikTok conspiracy theorists postulated that the hands of King Charles III's bodyguards are fake.“Real hand is already on his gun in case,” said one online conspiracy theorist, while another wrote, “It’s because he’s an armed guard, his real hand is inside his jacket holding the gun, this isn’t new or a secret.”
One armchair bodyguard added, “Secret service does this in America too. Prop hands. Their real hand is on loaded gun under the jacket.”One poster found it suspicious that this bodyguard’s hand didn’t change position even while he walked.TikTok theorized that the bodyguards possessed decoy hands to distract potential assassins while their real mitts held their guns at the ready.“They definitely aren’t fake hands,” Will Geddes, an ex-bodyguard with 30 years of experience,.
He added, “It isn’t a tactic that is used at all in the UK, there might be all sorts of other tricks and stunts that security officers use to make sure high-profile individuals are kept safe, but this wouldn’t be one of them.” The former security concluded by cheekily quipping that while counterfeit mitts “could be used in the U.S., where they are more trigger happy,” they aren’t employed in the UK.
