Good. It's clear she shouldn't have been there. You don't mess with the Queens Guard. Maybe that needs to be made more clear as tourists don't always seem to get it.
You could probably forgive standing on the wrong side of the barrier but it's also the fact she is standing right in his way too. Are you expecting the Guard to make way for you? Such a level of entitlement.
There are lots of similar videos on youtube/facebook.
These are soldiers, on duty, and need to be shown respect. To be fair they usually give a big a shout if some one's in the way. But a big shove works just as well!

Seen lots of folks say she was in wrong and should not have been there.
What do others think... ?
I think people get lost in all the ceremony, pomp and circumstance and forget that the guard is there to do a job. It is there to protect the Queen's residence, and the Queen or any members of the Royal family that happen to be present. She shouldn't have got in the way.
