While Jonathan Thompson wasn't necessarily front and center at the coronation, he was certainly on screen long enough to make an impact. It seems that Thompson's presence was a light amidst all of the drama surrounding King Charles' coronation, at least for plenty of people on the internet. One coronation observer tweeted a photo of Thompson with the caption, "Anyone else clocked the dashing chap in the kilt standing near Penny [Mordaunt]?" The Twitter user was quick to find that yes, many people did, in fact, "clock" him.
One commenter asked, "Are you new to Major Johnnie?" and followed up with, "he's absolutely lush." This apparent Jonathan Thompson expert was already familiar with the equerry, and they weren't alone. Interestingly, this wasn't actually Thompson's first time taking the internet by storm. As a bodyguard to Queen Elizabeth who was moving on to protecting King Charles, Thompson was, of course, present at the queen's funeral. For many, the funeral was the first time that they'd seen this royally ravishing helper, as he went viral at that time, too. Whether Queen Elizabeth's funeral or King Charles' coronation was your first time seeing Jonathan Thompson, we have a feeling that this won't be your last. He's sure to break the internet once again the next time a royal event comes along, and we're looking forward to it.
