The British Army has launched an investigation into a group sex video allegedly made by five military bodyguards for Queen Elizabeth II, a newspaper reported yesterday.
A spokesman at the Ministry of Defense said an "incident" was being investigated, but declined to comment on the revelation in the tabloid Sun daily, which claimed it had a copy of the video showing the five having sex with a woman at an army barracks down the road from Buckingham Palace.

The five Life Guard troopers -- members of an elite unit of the British Army, which accompanies the queen on horseback during parades -- staged the late-night orgy at London's Hyde Park Barracks, the Sun said.
The footage was a stark contrast to the guards' usual performance, when they parade on horseback in public sporting plumed helmets and red uniforms.

Gabbard did not specify her concerns. Gabbard posted on social media a video of grisly footage from the world’s first nuclear attack and of her staring reflectively at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial.
