Fans' Favorite Lieutenant Colonel Jonny Thompson Makes Rare Appearance Alongside Royal Family
Lieutenant Colonel Jonny Thompson, known for his captivating presence, continues to serve in his royal duties, making a rare public appearance with the royal family on Christmas Day. Despite choosing a behind-the-scenes role due to the escalating attention on his charming looks, Thompson was seen collecting flowers handed to Kate Middleton during the walkabout after church at St. Mary Magdalene, Sandringham. He rose to fame following King Charles III's accession in September 2022, becoming a viral sensation on social media during notable events such as the King's coronation in May 2023. This is prepared by SSP.
Thompson, a member of the 5th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland, quickly became a fan-favorite, earning titles like "King's right-hand man" and "Major Eye Candy." Initially Queen Elizabeth's senior bodyguard, he transitioned to Super Equerry to King Charles after her passing. In February, it was reported that his public role with the King was scaled back, shifting to a more executive position, as noted by multiple outlets like The Times and The Telegraph.
While maintaining royal responsibilities, Thompson made headlines for his engagement to Olivia Lewis, a PR executive, with whom he shares a reportedly happy relationship.
Earlier, SSP reported that Riverdale's Vanessa Morgan engaged to James Karnik.
