King Charles’ right-hand man Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson is transitioning into a new role after gaining widespread attention for his striking appearance during the coronation celebrations. The senior aide, known as 'the hot equerry,' has shifted to a more executive and less public-facing position within the palace.
Thompson, aged 40, continues to serve as the senior equerry to the King and Queen but will now operate behind the scenes to support the King, who is undergoing cancer treatment. The Times reported that Thompson was uncomfortable with the public spotlight he received after accompanying the royals to various events.
