King Charles' famous 'hunky' kilt-clad assistant sends Coronation viewers swooning

Royal fans were delighted while watching King Charles' Coronation as they spotted his 'handsome' kilt-clad assistant.

Major Johnny Thompson, of the 5th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland, is King Charles III’s equerry. His job as the King’s equerry makes him responsible for the detailed planning and execution of his daily programmes.

The aide has built up quite the fanbase after being thrust into the spotlight after King Charles took over the throne.

The "hunky" and "handsome" aide has been at the constant side of the King to assist him during the early days of his reign, and seems to have earned a promotion.
