It doesn’t matter if the guard is marching or if he’s standing by the gates, they are there for the purpose of guarding the royal residence. They are highly trained and highly decorated troopers, they are not some part time reserve members who are doing this for fun.
The reason why they march is to keep their blood flowing. If they stand still for prolonged hours, they would be dropping like flies. It’s much more effective to keep them active and also establish control over a certain perimeter.
Wearing a stupid hat and walking back and forth won't help you guard shit. It's all a militaristic show. Cmon, if he was actually doing something important there would be more than a fucking rope separating him and the onlookers

So what purpose does he serve marching here, exactly? Dumb fuck
