Lt. Col. Jonny Thompson, King Charles’ “hot equerry” also known as “Major Eye Candy,” made a rare public appearance with the royal family at their Sandringham Christmas Day walkabout following his step back from front-facing duty earlier this year because of fan frenzy over his good looks.

On Wednesday, King Charles 's equerry Lieutenant Colonel Johnathan (Johnny) Thompson—who first went viral for his dashing good looks following the death of Queen Elizabeth in September 2022—made a rare public appearance in Sandringham with the rest of the royal family on Christmas Day.

King Charles has used his annual TV message to give personal thanks to the medical staff who have cared for him this year.
