In a rare public outing, Lieutenant Colonel Jonny Thompson, widely recognized as King Charles III’s “hot equerry,” made a striking appearance alongside the royal family during their Christmas Day celebrations.

The festivities, held at Sandringham, showcased the royal family’s cherished tradition of attending the Christmas morning service at St. Mary Magdalene Church. Lt. Col. Thompson,

who has become something of a fan favorite due to his dashing good looks and composed demeanor, was spotted accompanying King Charles and other senior members of the family.

Clad in a formal coat with his military regalia, Thompson drew attention from both royal watchers and the public,

who often celebrate his professionalism and charm on social media. His presence served as a reminder of the close bond he shares with the monarch, given his role as the King’s trusted aide.

This appearance marks a rare moment for the equerry, whose duties usually keep him behind the scenes, managing the day-to-day logistics of the King’s engagements. However, his occasional public appearances never fail to ignite interest and admiration.

As the royal family greeted well-wishers and exchanged festive wishes, Lt. Col. Thompson stood nearby, a subtle yet commanding presence amidst the holiday cheer. His role, though understated, underscores the essential support team working tirelessly to ensure the royal family’s smooth functioning during high-profile events.

Royal fans were quick to share images and comments online, with one admirer tweeting, “Forget the presents; Lt. Col. Jonny Thompson is the real Christmas gift this year!”

King Charles III’s first Christmas as monarch has been marked by tradition, family unity, and, of course, the star power of his loyal equerry, Lt. Col. Jonny Thompson, whose rare appearance added an extra touch of excitement to the festive season.
