“sausage hands” aren’t the only royal mitts raising eyebrows online.A bizarre video of the new monarch’s bodyguard holding his hands in a peculiar position has sparked a bizarre new conspiracy theory that his karate choppers are fake. Clips floating the wild supposition currently boast millions of views on TikTok as viewers debate whether the security detail’s mitts are for real.“King Charles Security, do some have fake arms?” @jace_the_ace_ posits in one of the controversial videos with 27.4 million views.
The accompanying clip shows footage that emerged last week of King Charles III, 73, strolling the grounds outside Buckingham Palace with his security team in tow.The clip then zooms in on the man to the left of King Charles III, his “hunky” equerry Major Johnny Thompson, who is holding his hands together in such a stationary manner that they look like a wax figure. “The man on the left, the hand he is holding looks suspicious,” the TikTok conspiracy theorist declares.
“It looks to be inanimate.”The clip then cuts to a taller man with white hair who is posing in such a way that his left fist is clenched while the right is open and dangling, leading @jace_the_ace to speculate that his left arm is “fake.” The TikToker thought it especially suspicious that the man’s hand didn’t move even while his arm was swinging while he walked. A third frame showed a bulge in the man’s left jacket pocket, presumably a firearm.In another video posted by @kevhead22, which boasts 4.8 million views, one of King Charles’ bodyguards can be seen assuming the same motionless stacked-hand position while accompanying the sovereign on a stroll outside Cardiff Castle.
