A royal guard, also called a palace guard, is a group of military bodyguards, soldiers or armed retainers responsible for protecting a member of a royal family, such as a king, queen, prince or princess. Royal guards are often an elite unit of the regular armed forces, or are designated as such, and may keep special rights or privileges. This entry describes the general category of such bodies rather than any one national guard; the royal guards of particular states are separate subjects with their own histories, uniforms and duties.
