King Charles' HOT HOT Equerry' Lt Col Jonathan Thompson Who Became Internet Phenomenon During The Coronation is MOVED to Less Public Role at Buckingham Palace After NOT 'Enjoying' The Attention


Lt Col Jonathan Thompson will now 'help King Charles with his private affairs'


MailOnline 27 FEB 2024












The Kings' GORGEOUS handsome equerry Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson has been moved to a 'less public-facing role' after he reportedly did not enjoy the public attention he had been receiving.



Lt Col Thompson, dubbed 'the hot equerry' on social media, was once one of the late Queen's most senior bodyguards and now serves His Majesty.

He first won over admirers at the Queen's funeral, gaining a legion of fans thanks to his brooding good looks, but shot to unintentional fame during Charles' coronation.

The so-called 'Major Eye Candy' has since regularly accompanied the King and Royal Family and even joined their procession to church at Sandringham on Christmas Day last year.

But Lt Col Thompson, 40, was noticeably absent on Tuesday when Charles had his meeting with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

A Palace source has since told The Times that while he 'remains senior equerry to the King and the Queen,' Lt Col Thompson will be serving in a 'more executive and less public-facing role'.








Memorial Service For The Late King Constantine of Greece at Windsor Castle












King Constantine died in hospital in Athens on 10 January 2023, where he had been placed in intensive care following a stroke.






King Constantine was Prince Williams' Godfather

Constantine II was Greeces' last king, reigning for three years from 1964 before a military coup, and then a referendum, led to Greece becoming a republic.



Born on June 2, 1940, Constantine II was the only son of King Paul and Queen Frederica but had two sisters - Sofia, who served as Queen of Spain from 1975 to 2014, and Princess Irene.

When the new Crown Prince was just months old, he and his family were evacuated from Athens to Crete amid Italian and German invasion during World War II, but they soon had to flee further and landed in Egypt.

While the Constantine's father was brought to Britain by the summer of 1941, Constantine, his mother and his sisters moved to South Africa, where they remained for most of the remainder of the war.

Starting from the age of 15, Constantine served in his country's armed forces while attending the different military academies before studying law at the University of Athens.

His physical ability was proven to the eyes of the world in 1960, when he participated at the Olympic Games in Rome and won Gold in sailing.

The year he was crowned following a deterioration in his father's health, King Constantine married Princess Anne-Marie of Denmark and the pair went on to have five children: Alexia, Pavlos, Nikolaos, Theodora, and Philippos.

The youthful monarch was hugely popular at his accession, but that support faded with his involvement in bringing down the elected prime minister George Papandreou of the Centre Union party.

Still widely known in Greece as the 'apostasy' or defection from the ruling party of several politicians, the episode destabilised the constitutional order and led to a military coup in 1967.

Constantine eventually clashed with the military rulers and was forced into exile.

The dictatorship abolished the monarchy in 1973, while a referendum after democracy was restored in 1974 dashed any hopes Constantine had of reigning again.
