My impression was the King's guard was following orders from the crown, as that was their duty, but then they began to deviate, once they realized what was happening with the High Tower's. Ser Harrold just straight up quits.
It makes sense that the King's Guard would initially serve the High Tower's but then some would quit as soon as they realize that the Hight Tower's are potentially usurping the throne.
I do think the introduction of many of these characters is rushed, but the show is also trying to get to the more interesting parts. Giving every king's guard a filled out backstory would be a lot. The show will likely move a lot like GoT, where major characters just kind of show up.

I think they clearly showed his disgust with Aegon as he vocally spoke up about what a POS the kid is, with all his bastards, the fight pit, depravities, etc. and then stood by while his other twin fought with Ser Cole. They set up his objection to Hightower's plans because he thinks Aegon will ruin the kingdom.
