Ah... you thought you were on 'that other forum' clearly...  ;)

When you say 'Queens Guard', we have a couple of types of those.

The mounted ones (Lifeguards/Blues and Royals) in helmet and breastplates, might be available in a Victorian range somewhere, the uniforms haven't changed much, or with some work on the helmet, French Napoleonic Cuirassier might do the job in 15mm.

The Bearskin wearing Foot Guards are probably a little harder to source... but when a 'Line' unit is mounting guard, which sometimes happens, they wear the 'Home Service Helmet', which again might be available in a Victorian range too. The biggest difference will be the weapons if you are looking at present day, as they all carry the SA80, which is quite distinctive, even in 15mm.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, but I'm sure somebody here will come up with a better answer.  :)

The project is a slow go, my intent was to have as a setting Prince William and Prince Harry fighting over the throne. An attack by Harry and his loyal troops attacking William during a parade. I did pick up French mounted Cuirassiers for British horse guard...

Eureka have some Foot guards in their sci-fi range, Dome armed with old SMLEs and some with sci fi weapons. With weapon swaps they might work.
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
