In a surprising turn of events, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson, King Charles’ equerry, has secured the third position on Tatler’s prestigious annual social power index.

This marks the second consecutive year that King Charles III and Queen Camilla have topped the list, which showcases the true influencers in British society.

The 39-year-old Lieutenant Colonel has captured the hearts of many since his appearance during the King’s coronation.

His presence at official events has led to royal fans chanting his name, earning him the affectionate nickname of the Dashing Equerry.

With King Charles and Queen Camilla at the top spot, followed by billionaire couple Sanjay and Anu Hinduja, Lieutenant Colonel Thompson has firmly established himself as one of the most influential figures in the UK.

One of Lieutenant Colonel Thompson’s most notable achievements is his humility, despite the significant responsibilities he holds.

Among his many tasks, he is known for discovering and confiscating recording devices used by Meghan and Harry during events.

In fact, some believe that Lieutenant Colonel Thompson has completely filled the void left by Prince Harry, not only within the royal family but also in the King’s heart.

He is even expected to assist William, the heir to the throne, in his future endeavors.

According to a royal source, Parliament presented the perfect opportunity to address the Harry situation.

By changing the law to eliminate surrogate and adopted children, they aimed to silence Harry and remove him from the picture.

As a result, Major Thompson was adopted by King Charles, effectively taking Harry’s place as the next spare after William’s children.

King Charles reportedly has full faith in Lieutenant Colonel Thompson, who has been a constant support during the initial weeks of his reign.

Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson’s dedication to his duties is evident both within and outside the palace walls.

Having previously worked alongside the late Queen Elizabeth, he played a prominent role in escorting Liz Truss to meet Charles after Her Majesty’s passing.

He also accompanied Rishi Sunak to Buckingham Palace when he succeeded her as Prime Minister.

Beyond his royal responsibilities, Lieutenant Colonel Thompson resides in Surrey with his wife Caroline, who works as a marketing manager, and their child.

Adding to his list of accomplishments, the kilt-clad army officer, known as Johnny to his friends and Major Eye Candy on TikTok, has now secured a spot on Tatler’s prestigious list.

Fans of the monarchy have even called for Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson to be the next James Bond, as a TikTok page responded to a comment with a video showcasing his dapper appearance in a suit while entering Buckingham Palace.

The video also featured snippets of Lieutenant Colonel Thompson performing his royal duties, including walking in formation, ushering people into cars, and standing proudly in his uniform.

Tatler praises Lieutenant Colonel Thompson for his fabulous sense of humor and his ability to look impeccable in both a suit and a kilt.

They highlight his unique brand of quiet, charming power, which is most evident during significant events such as the coronation or the opening of the Burnston-Battagerie gallery in Fitzrovia, where he sported a bunny tie and charmed India Rose James.

Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Thompson’s rise to prominence as the King’s foster child and his impressive ranking on Tatler’s power list have solidified his position as one of the foremost influencers in British society.

With his humility, dedication, and undeniable charm, it is no wonder that he has captured the attention and admiration of both the royal family and the public alike.
