King Charles' "Hot Equerry" Sends Royals Fans Wild With Surprise Sandringham Christmas Appearance

King Charles' equerry Jonny Thompson smiles while wearing a light green suit, a white shirt, and a striped tie.

Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson became an unexpected star during King Charles' Coronation in May 2023, on account of being "really, really, ridiculously good looking." Sadly, Thompson didn't enjoy the attention, so he transitioned to a behind-the-scenes role with the Royal Family instead. However, royals fans were elated to see Thompson on Christmas Day when he resurfaced to attend church in Sandringham.

Regularly dubbed King Charles' "hot equerry," Thompson reportedly offered a "helping hand" to Kate Middleton after the Royal Family's Christmas Day church service, per Geo News. According to the outlet, Thompson helped carry all of the flowers and gifts Princess Kate received from members of the crowd, and was seen dutifully standing close to her throughout the event.
