The medley was aimed to celebrate Jon Bon Jovi's collaboration with the Duke of Sussex and the Invictus Games.
At the same time as the guards were entertaining the crowd with their musical performance, Prince Harry was meeting Jon Bon Jovi at Abbey Road Studios to record a charity single.
Proceeds from the sale of the song will go to the Invictus Games Foundation which supports sick and injured veterans.
Friday was not the first time that the Buckingham Palace guards have played rather unconventional music outside of Buckingham Palace.
