A BUCKINGHAM Palace guard has been axed from his regiment's duties on the day of the royal wedding after he ranted about Catherine Middleton on Facebook.

Scots Guardsman Cameron Reilly, 18, called the bride-to-be a "posh b****" on the social networking site.



The soldier, who regularly wears the famous bearskin hat and red tunic while on duty outside royal palaces, is also being investigated for racist posts.



Referring to Ms Middleton and Prince William, he wrote: "Hur and william drove past me on friday n all a got was a s****y wave while she looked the opposite way from me, stupid stuck up cow am a not good enough for them! posh b**** am totally with u on this 1 who reely gives a f*** about hur".



The guardsman, who has on his Facebook profile that he joined the Army in 2010, is seen posing on the website holding machine guns while wearing his uniform.



Commenting on the picture, he makes a racist remark, and while inside the Tower of London - where he is also pictured on Facebook - he makes an anti-Semitic posting.



Reilly, who lists "Super-strength lager" and "Causing Trouble" among his interests, is pictured kissing a bottle of vodka and posing with the fortified wine Buckfast on his page.



A spokesman for the MoD said the claims were being investigated.
