I see that you are all informed, he is married! I wonder if someone @DM is reading this thread.

Almost every time they focus on KC, MJT is in the shot. It must be tough to have to get in dress uniform every day. I can’t imagine what it takes to clean and maintain the really elaborate dress uniforms.

Oh my, did we do something wrong? He is looking right at us

If life were a fairy-tale, he’d be the son the King and Queen had to hide away for safety and now they can reveal him.

Re: the uniforms, there are SO many variants too. It really must be so expensive. And then you have to have non-kilt civilian clothes as well!

I agree that the media intrusion into Major Jonnny's personal life is totally out of order but I'm willing to bet he will never live down the Hot Major epithet and will be ribbed mercilessly for the rest of his career by his army mates.

I’d be happy to console him if that is upsetting!

He sure was focused on somebody or something. Hopefully whatever it was only concerned him briefly.

He is working weekends and in the suit. If you scroll down to the video of royal arrival, he is in the middle of the video tagging behind the king and William.

King Charles and Prince William delight stunned mourners

King Charles III and his son Prince William are meeting excited royal fans queueing to see the Queen lying-in-state in Westminster Hall on a surprise walkabout in Lambeth, south London.

No rest for the beautiful - Major Johnny was at Buckingham Palace introducing the Commonwealth PMs to Prince Charles (including Justin Trudeau and Jacinda Ardern).

Equerries to The Queen and now The King and the Prince of Wales are really high profile spots. I‘m guessing that people picked for this position are being groomed for more senior roles in the military. I wonder how many Equerries of senior royals end their careers as Generals or Admirals.

@DoggieBags There's Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, who also married the boss's daughter.

Slightly off topic but it will be interesting to see if a female military equerry gets appointed in the near future.

There is one. She has blonde hair and generally wears a black hat. Sometimes sitting next to Jonny.
