Oh it is sad. Just really sad that they reduce Jonny to this sort of level. The stupid tags names they come up with for him And the sheer laziness of their ‘reporting’.

I honestly think stuff like this is better ignored. The more traction they get, the more fuel to the fire, and the more inaccuracies get repeated.

Most here appreciate Jonny for the right reasons, are well informed, and can see this stuff for what it is - exploitative drivel.

If a woman had to put up with some of the names they (media generally not just this lot) call him, and some of the salacious comments supposed fans make, there would be an outcry. Is Jonny supposed to just accept it because he is male?

I am glad that standards here are much higher than on a lot of other social media. Thank you everyone for helping make it that way.
The only way to deal with this low level media is to totally ignore it. By talking about it and posting images of it just gets it more publicity. If you see anything that is detrimental in any way to Jonny or his work or anything slightly related to him just scroll past as if it didn’t exist. Every time a poster comments on how bad or inappropriate something is that item is rebroadcast. Just ignore and let’s use this forum for kind comments. We all love him and his very successful career so let’s keep doing the right thing by him. We can, of course, worry about his stress levels and even say how handsome he is (double chin and a bit chubbier included) and post questions about uniform. Thank you for a lovely site and I hope it remains so.

Hi there, longtime lurker because English is not my first language. I'm French though and I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding here, you shouldn't rely on Google Translate so much. In French, the word écuyer means both squire and equerry, it was meant as equerry there and wasn't in any way disparaging. They got Jonny's rank wrong but BFMTV is not the most reliable news channel. Back to the lurkdom.

Thank you for helping us learn! You are so very much appreciated.

Merci. Vous êtes très gentil. Je suis désolé.

Your explanation is very appreciated. Thank you for coming out from lurking in the shadows to let me know what was meant.

Please keep posting, your input is so welcome!
 
This week RomeGirl shared so many beautiful pictures of our Jonny in his mess dress and Bellecrown gave us another lovely picture.

The screen grab from below is fuzzy but it does show a peek of Jonny's 10A Mess Dress for State Dinners. I may have the uniform designation wrong because I am still sorting all of the different types.

La Rhumba was interested in the buckled evening highland shoes. Just a little peek at the buckles can been seen in this photo. From the Versailles State Dinner.
