King Charles has promoted his dashing, kilt-wearing aide, Lt Col Johnny Thompson, better known on social media as Major Eye Candy, to a “super equerry” role, meaning he will become the monarch’s “right-hand man.”
The good news for his legions of fans is that the promotion means that he and his chiseled jaw line, which have earned him the soubriquet of the Hot Equerry, will now be seen even more frequently alongside the king and queen.
The Sun said that Thompson, 40, was offered the new role, which will see him tasked with helping run Charles’ official business, as his current Army service was coming to an end, and Charles and Camilla wanted to find a way keep him on.
