The handsome Scotsman next door to Charles captivated the internet: who is the ‘ultimate eye candy’? (Brussels)

A tall man in uniform and skirt, with bushy hair and an irresistible smile: the appearance of King Charles III’s Scottish Governing Officer, Major Jonathan ‘Johnny’ Thompson, has been widely discussed on social media. Who is the new virtual world star?

‘Has anyone watched Major Johnny Thompson? I mean Coronation’, ‘I wanted to watch the coronation but I got distracted by Johnny Thompson’, ‘Johnny Thompson, I love you, call me!’, ‘Why did I just find out about Johnny Thompson?’, ‘Anyone else just watched the Johnny Thompson coronation? ‘. Johnny Thompson: yum!

That’s just an example of the many tweets about equerry or the orderly of King Charles – the king’s absolute confidant and therefore an important figure at court.

This is not the first time that 39-year-old Johnny Thompson, also referred to as ‘ultimate eye candy’, the internet exploded. Major is a member of 5th Royal Scottish Regiment Battalionand has been part of the court for some time.

In September last year he was ‘seen’ at the Queen’s funeral, next to then Prime Minister Liz Truss. That hot guard – one of his nicknames – instantly became a crowd favorite. She is relaxed yet graceful, she is the very embodiment of modesty, and she is almost always smiling. ‘He’ll be out in a minute Bridgerton (costume drama on Netflix, ed.) can come,” sounds in 2022.

Two labradors and love horses

Unfortunately for the aspiring bachelors who say they hope to one day hook up with Thompson: the man has been married to 44-year-old Caroline for more than ten years, they have one son and two Labradors together. The latter is called, according to Daily mail, Odin and Piper, remembering his military days in Scotland. The couple is passionate about horses, Caroline is an excellent equestrian and runs a charity website Horses4Health.

The orderly studied economics and international politics in the UK and joined the army in 2006. He was previously one of Queen Elizabeth’s closest confidants. Reportedly, a wall-to-wall smile appeared on his face the moment Johnny Thompson entered the room to his death.
