I don't know about the other Google services, but geolocation for YouTube TV seems to be pretty difficult to defeat.
We have a YouTube TV family plan but we don't all live in the same city. You can travel temporarily, but if anyone accesses it from a different city for more than a couple weeks, their access is disabled until they return to the home city.
I tried having a family member in another city watch YouTube TV via Wireguard to get an IP address in our home city. That simple trick failed because Google uses their phone location to determine their real location.
Is the UK traveler routing their phone through Wireguard, such that the phone's geolocation is being linked to your home IP?
