The soldiers who stand guard outside Buckingham Palace are all members of various regiments of the British Army and the hats that they wear will depend on the regiment that they belong to. If you are thinking about the tall black hats that some of them wear, they are often incorrectly called 'busbys' but should properly be called bearskins. They were originally made of bear's skins but are now made from a synthetic material.
