All of this sounds like such a dreadfully challenging and difficult task to reach the military service levels he has attained. Quite an accomplishment and learning all of this only makes him stand even taller in our eyes! Three cheers for Jonny!
I hope learning this sort of thing about Jonny isn’t too boring. It’s meant to bring a greater understanding of him; that he isn’t just a pretty face, that there is much more to him that most don’t see, or probably, care about.
Thank you for your post. Not boring at all, it's fascinating for us who are Constitutional Monarchists and care about the Royal Family, not interested in Celebrity. It's certainly not just because he is handsome we swoon for Jonny, but the kind of person he is, the caring way he ushered Prince George up the step to the Abbey for the Coronation and looked after all the pages, the touching way he gave Prince Louis the picture back to show a little girl at Sandringham last Christmas (when he must've been missing his own son the same age). The way he said "Sor-ry" to the crowd in Manchester thinking he was getting in the way of their taking pics of the King. We've heard first hand reports from those who have met him how polite and charming he is...with a firm handshake!I hope learning this sort of thing about Jonny isn’t too boring.

He has worked hard, and where he is today is testament to his hard work as well as his personality. His parents and mentors are to be commended for the way he was nurtured and guided.
A tiny private snippet that illustrates the sort of values he grew up with - his mum was in a local shop and someone tapped her on the shoulder and said to her, “You must be very proud of your son”. Without missing a beat she smiled and said, “which one?”.
That sort of shared value for all those you love … everyone, regardless of position, power, or popularity, is uncommon these days and seems to have been passed on to Jonny.
However, before we all pop him on too high a pedestal of perfection, I’m reliably informed he definitely has his faults, as we all do.
Not at all boring but fascinating. The initial interest was most likely, “Who is this tall, dark, handsome Equerry in that incredibly detailed and beautiful RRoS uniform” but for so many of us in this forum, it has evolved into something much more … An opportunity to share excitement about the King’s events and watching Jonny work alongside him; seeing what Jonny does at work and how he goes about it. We are also learning bits and pieces about the inner workings of the Royal Household, equerries and the military.I hope learning this sort of thing about Jonny isn’t too boring.

One of the things I noticed from when he first went viral was the amount of overseas “fans” who knew nothing about the workings of the RF. They were amazed with how the RF walked about and shook hands, received gifts, laughed and spoke to the waiting crowd. The more they looked for sightings of Jonny the more they saw the work of the RF. They commented on the amount of visits made to charities, and other good causes the more they looked the more information they wanted. So in his own way with his thousands of fans he has really opened a lot of eyes on how hard the RF work and the amount events are covered weekly. I’m sure, like the rest of us, he has his faults but he brings a high level of professionalism to his work and the fact that he is tall and handsome is a definite plus also that he wears the uniform of the RRoS magnificently. He certainly is very easy on the eye.I hope learning this sort of thing about Jonny isn’t too boring.

This is the "Dress Blue Patrol" uniform and I believe it is only worn after 1800 Hours. It is the Scotts Patrol Jacket, tartan trews, boots (not brogues) and Regimental cane. The Regimental Cane is only carried by commissioned Officers and I believe it is a symbol of authority. I do not know exactly for what type of activities this uniform is worn. This jacket is actually my favorite of all of the uniforms we have seen Jonny sporting during Royal events. Well, I love him most in his military camo because it makes him look like the "action man" that he is!
You're amazing Lizle, thank you!
A humble thank you but I cannot take credit ... I have a secret source of information that I am going to share with you. The link is below. This is the Royal Regiment of Scotland's "Dress Regulations" Manual. It contains everything you might want to know (and things you did not know you needed to know) about ALL of the uniform bits and pieces issued and worn by the RRoS ... what it is called ... what it consists of ... who is qualified to wear what ... where it is worn ... Etc. It is flooded with color photographs!Now that I know the first link works, here is the BIG link. It's the Royal Regiment of Scotland's website. Click on "Publications" and when you land on that page, click on "Other". You will be amazed by the amount of information available for download including the steps for the Ghillies Ball reelsYou're amazing Lizle, thank you!
