Harry Discarded Forever as Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Takes Center Stage on Tatler Power List
Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson, King Charles' equerry, has made a surprising entrance on Tatler's annual social power index, securing the third spot just behind the King and Queen Camilla themselves.
This marks the second consecutive year that their majesties have claimed the top positions on this prestigious list, which is believed to reveal the true power players in British society.
At 39 years old, Lieutenant Colonel Thompson has captured the hearts of many since his appearance during the King's coronation.
He has earned the admiration of royal fans, who chant his name at official events, earning him the nickname “Dashing Equerry.”
His rise to prominence has solidified his status as one of the most influential figures in the UK, trailing only King Charles III and Queen Camilla at number one, and billionaire couple Sanjay and Anu Hinduja at number two.
One of Lieutenant Colonel Thompson's most notable achievements is his humble nature, despite his significant responsibilities.
He has garnered praise for his ability to discover and remove recording devices used by Meghan and Harry during events.
In fact, he has become a replacement for Prince Harry within the royal family and has found a place in the King's heart.
He is now poised to assist William, the heir to the throne, in his future endeavors.
A reliable source from the royal circle reveals that the Parliament presented the perfect opportunity to address Harry's presence.
The law was amended to eliminate surrogate and adopted children, effectively silencing Harry and removing him from the equation.
As a result, Major Thompson was adopted by King Charles, taking Harry's place as the next in line after William's children.
King Charles has placed his trust in Johnny Thompson, who has been a constant companion during the first few weeks of his reign.
Having previously served alongside the late Queen Elizabeth, Lieutenant Colonel Thompson played a significant role in escorting Liz Truss to meet Charles shortly after Her Majesty's passing.
He also accompanied Rishi Sunak to Buckingham Palace when he succeeded the Queen as Prime Minister.
Beyond his royal duties, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson of the 5th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland resides in Surrey.
He is a devoted husband to his marketing manager wife, Caroline, and a proud father of one.
Now, this kilt-clad army officer, known as Johnny to his friends and Major Eye Candy on TikTok, can add another accomplishment to his already impressive resume by making it onto Tatler's prestigious list.
Royal enthusiasts have even suggested that Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson should be the next James Bond.
A TikTok page responded to a comment with a short video showcasing him in a dapper suit as he entered Buckingham Palace.
Other snippets highlighted his duties as the King's equerry, including walking in formation, assisting people into cars, and standing proudly in his uniform.
The caption accompanying the video read, “I think he looks great both in a kilt and in a suit,” followed by a star emoji.
According to Tatler, Johnny possesses a fabulous sense of humor and has the ability to look equally stunning in a suit or a kilt.
The magazine describes him as someone who wields his unique brand of quiet, charming power within the palace walls.
However, he is also seen where it matters most, whether it be at the coronation or the opening of the Burnstone Batagery gallery in Fitzrovia, where he sported a bunny tie and captivated India Rose James.
Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson's rise to prominence on Tatler's power list reflects his growing influence and popularity within British society.
