Isn’t it time for a sexist blog from a woman?
Meet Major Johnny Thompson, CO of the Balaclava Company, 5 Battalion,Royal Regiment of Scotland (also an intelligence officer), and the former head spy for MI5, Lord Ishmere, who is now the Palace Lord Chamberlain
Charles III has ascended to the British throne, but there is one person in his life who has already gone viral: Major Johnny Thompson, long a steady presence for the royal family, working for the late Queen Elizabeth II for years.
Major Johnny Thompson is a 39-year-old native of Northumberland and serves as Platoon Commander with His Majesty’s Forces. He graduated with an Economics and politics degree from Aberystwyth University, in Wales, in 2004 and joined the army in 2006. Thompson was a part of the undergraduate officer training corps while studying at the university. He has been working with King Charles since 2020 and his role includes “planning and execution” of the day-to-day activities of the King.
Since Queen Elizabeth II passed away, the equerry has been spotted at several royal events. He was seen accompanying Charles III, the first time in public when the Queen died. Major Thompson was also seen removing articles from the King’s desk when he hastily asked them to be cleared before signing the proclamation. During the royal procession on September 14, Thompson was photographed walking behind the late Queen’s coffin as it was being shifted to Westminster Hall for a four-day lie in state ahead of the funeral.
Yow-za.
