The “hot equerry” is off the market. Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson, the bodyguard of the late Queen Elizabeth II who became social media famous after his dashing military good looks (and propensity for wearing a kilt) propelled him to the top of global news feeds at her funeral, has announced his engagement. Thompson, 40, who is divorced, is said to have disliked the attention on him and to have stepped back from public engagements as a result. He announced in the London Times that he has become engaged to PR executive Olivia Lewis, 33, who has also worked for King Charles. She is the daughter of Simon Lewis, a former head of PR for the queen.
