Posing proudly in official livery alongside his colleagues – this photo shows a chief propagandist for a Neo-Nazi network working as a tour guide at Buckingham Palace. Matthew Gravill, 26, is pictured on the steps of Buckingham Palace gardens, where members of the Royal Family greet guests during garden parties. It is the same spot where Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, stood alongside Queen Elizabeth II to watch a military band during the US President’s state visit in 2019. Gravill, from Leicestershire, was exposed last month by ITV News as a key player in two British fascist groups, Active Club England and Vanguard Britannica. Active Club England presents itself as a male fitness group but idolises Adolf Hitler and provides weapons training. Vanguard Britannica, which emerged in 2022, is more openly political, with members attending public protests. Neither group is proscribed by the government. The photo of Gravill at the palace was taken in the summer of 2023 when he was a royal warden charged with guiding visitors around its gardens and lavish state rooms.
