Also from the comments under the yt video:
Not to detract from the main point of the recently deceased being deceased, just that the desired blues and royals symbolism isn't what's been asserted.

Nothing strange or sinister - the king has left London therefore the guard mounted earlier as a 'long guard' is now reduced to a 'short guard' so the officer and his trumpeter are relieved of their duty and return to barracks with the NCO carrying the guidon (Colour) cased.

@beckyskye6708 18 hours ago So why the why the white horse an is he riding side saddle? As it looks like an empty boot on left. Weird.

@brianrowlands9751 7 hours ago The trumpeter is NOT riding 'side saddle' (maybe he is actually able to but there is no such custom here in military parades). The boot is not 'empty' - merely appears that way as a result of how the cloak has settled behind the 'wing' of the traditional cavalry jackboot. In certain military funerals the deceased's horse is led (not ridden by anyone) with the deceased's empty riding boots reversed in the stirrups. Trumpeters of the Blues & Royals ride a grey (white horses are traditionally called 'grey' in this country) - it is absolutely nothing to do with the so-called 'white horse of the apocalypse'. Nothing at all weird in any of this, just quaint old British military traditions, with poor observation, lack of knowledge and understanding, leading to bizarre speculations.

This is what happens when someone actually does their own research
Just note, when CTs are proven wrong, they just add a layer, so be prepared to be told that the King leaving London was ALL part of the plan.

Just now getting to begin to review the comments from the full YT video. It's definitely a rare occurrence, so the speculation is thick from all sides. There's a LOT to unpack, and the relative infrequency of witnessing this doesn't help matters.
One comment that I've noticed is that someone says that the white horse (called "grey" in England - no one knows why) is not supposed to be present when the king is not in London.
Something I'm hoping to get to the bottom of is why the guidon would be cased while they were in the 3 man formation, even if the description of the "long/short guard" is accurate.
