The burly kilt-wearing army officer and equerry to King Charles has made hearts flutter once again after being spotted at tonight’s royal carol concert.

The officer, once the Queen’s highest-ranking bodyguard, has found himself increasingly in the spotlight following King Carlos III’s ascension to the throne.
The man known to his friends as ‘Johnny’ was front and center policing Charles’s first public outing as Monarch.
He also accompanied Prime Minister Liz Truss to meet the King at Buckingham Palace before his resignation.
The major is often seen in a thick tartan kilt with a large fur sporran and several medals pinned to his uniform.

Although most people think that Major Thompson is Scottish, he was actually born in Morpeth, Northumberland.
In 2006, he joined the military as a platoon commander, according to his LinkedIn.
His profile also reveals how he attended Aberystwyth University graduating in 2004 with a BA in Economics and Politics with International Studies.
For the past two years it is said that he has been working as the King’s equerry.

The concert will take place on the same day the final three episodes of the explosive Prince Harry and Meghan Markle documentary on Netflix were released.
Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace declined to comment on the series.
