Johnny Thompson, affectionately known as King Charles’ ‘Hot Equerry’, has become a viral sensation on social media since the death of Queen Elizabeth on September 8, 2022.
His popularity reached new heights following King Charles’ coronation, and it’s not hard to see why. Known for his dashing good looks and charisma, he has captured the public’s attention, earning him the nickname “Major Eye Candy.”
Despite his growing fame, Thompson has assumed a more low-key role in the royal family throughout 2024.
As reported by The Times, earlier this year, the sexy equerry moved to a less visible position, although he remains the chief equerry to King Charles and the Queen, playing a more executive role.
That’s not to say his presence has gone unnoticed; in fact, whenever he appears in public, he generates a frenzy among royal family supporters.

This moment was a reminder that, despite his new, more reserved role, Thompson remains an endearing and much-loved figure to the public.

Thompson’s history with the British royal family is not new. He made his debut in the public eye in 2018, when he escorted Queen Elizabeth at an official event at Balmoral.
Since then, his career has been marked by an unwavering commitment to the monarchy.
After the Queen’s death, he was appointed equerry to King Charles, and from that moment on, every official event he attends alongside the king becomes news.
Thompson has managed to balance his role in the royal family with his status as a social media icon.
His blend of professionalism and attractiveness has captured the hearts of many, making him a fascinating character within the royal world.
As he continues his journey in this new chapter, there is no doubt that his presence will continue to be a topic of conversation and admiration.
