King's Shocking Move: Prince Harry Stripped of Sussex Title, Major Johnny Thompson Considered for Role

Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson has been promoted to the rank of Super Equerry by King Charles, making him the Monarch's right-hand man. Thompson, who was well-known for his performances with the Royals, had originally planned to leave the Army in the next 18 months, so ending his tenure as an equinerry. But after being promoted from Equerry to Super Equerry, Thompson will now be in charge of managing King Charles's personal affairs, according to an insider quoted by The Sun.

Thompson's rise to this higher role can be traced back to his connection with the King and Queen Camilla. Thompson, who resides in Sor, initially won admirers when he was spotted at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, a sighting that prompted Royal Watchers to affectionately label him a "hunk." Since then, he has continued to make notable appearances, including his attendance at the King's coronation.

The insider source suggests that with Thompson's new promotion, the public can expect to see a lot more of him, emphasizing that King Charles made a savvy choice by selecting a social media sensation to serve as his right-hand man. Thompson, a member of the fifth Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland, has previously held the role of Equerry, which involves assisting the King with his daily duties, accompanying him at public events, and overseeing the maintenance of the Monarch's carriages, coaches, and Rolls-Royces used during state ceremonies.

Now, having moved up to the role of Super Equerry, he will serve as the King's chief aide and confidant. Notably, Thompson ranked third on Tatler's Social Power Index, a testament to his unique blend of understated charm and influence. His sense of humor and sartorial finesse, whether in a kilt or a suit, have also garnered attention.

This significant promotion took place amid circumstances where Prince Harry's return to the UK faced reluctance. A royal insider revealed that Prince Harry would not receive the warm welcome he might have hoped for in his native country. A recent poll conducted by The Daily Express reflected public sentiment, with 92% of readers voting against supporting Harry's return to the UK, while the remaining 8% was divided between those who were in favor and those who were undecided.

Furthermore, there have been petitions circulating to appoint Johnny Thompson as the Duke of Sussex, instead of Prince Harry. While such petitions may not become a reality, they send a clear message that many in Sussex do not wish for Meghan and Harry to represent them through their titles. This sentiment stems from the perception that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have used their titles for personal financial gain, with some arguing that they have failed to fulfill their duty to the people of Sussex, tarnishing the significance of their titles in the process.
