A couple of months ago someone on Twitter posted personal photos of the Major and his family (they were quickly taken down) but apparently they came from somebody stalking Facebook. I mean I find it a lot easier to believe that the Daily Mail found Mrs Thompson’s FB page than that the Major is putting himself out there for … why? He’s a career military officer who’s served in war zones and now has a super prestigious position that has led previous military officers to medals, promotions, and commands so he’d throw it all away to be a gutter-press darling for the blink of an eye? I don’t think so. By the way, all the articles in Italian, French, Spanish, German are basically rehashing the Daily Mail one. As are the ones from Hello etc just in English

I am having a hard time figuring out the motivation to “parade” himself here.
But the person who lives in Banchory appears to spell their name Thomson (no “p”) and not Thompson, as the Major does.
