Johnny Thompson, King Charles’ squire is getting married

Johnny Thompsonit king’s “hot” squire Charles III who has earned himself online with his charm hordes of admirers and nicknames like «“Eye Delight” and “Heartthrob”well soon it will no longer be on the market. The forty-year-old, in fact, is about to marry his new partner Olivia Lewis, 33. The announcement of the “official engagement between Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson, son of Mr and Mrs Alan Thompson of Morpeth, Northumberland, and Olivia Rose, daughter of Mr and Mrs Simon Lewis Obe of Primrose Hill, London”, has just appeared on The Times.

There relationship between Johnny and Olivia has been going on for almost two years. But it only came out last February, when the two were together paparazzi hand in hand. The photos had gone around the web, causing great amazement. Until then, in fact, everyone believed that the squire was still linked to the wife Caroline, from which he had a son. The Daily Mail he then revealed that Johnny and Caroline, after twelve years of marriage, had separated in 2022, and that the new couple was «well matched and very happy». How the two met exactly is unknown. But some speculate that the job was a prison sentence, given that she was in Charles and Camilla’s team, as PR, before they ascended the throne.

The one between Johnny and Olivia will not, of course, be a royal wedding. But, as he points out People, there could be royals invited. Also because Thompson has been a loyalist to the British royal family for years. The first time he came to prominence was in 2018, when he escorted Queen Elizabeth to an official event at Balmoral. Appointed Charles’ squire upon the death of the sovereign, since then every official event he has attended with the king has turned into a social hunt for his photos and videos. After the death of Queen Elizabeth in September 2022, for example, the video of Thompson entering the Palace reached nearly 9 million views on TikTok. While on the day ofcoronation of King Charles the footage showing him helping the sovereign change robes in Westminster Abbey was seen on Twitter more than 100,000 times.

Thompson remained in public at Charles’s side until last February, when, while remaining squire to the King and Queen, he was assigned to «a less visible role». It seems it was the same officer, sick of the comments who crowded the web at every appearance, asking for a more secluded role. Also because, as the tabloids explained at the time, he had a new partner – whose name was not yet known – who he wanted to protect from the clamor of gossip. Now we know that the new partner is Olivia Lewis. And that the thirty-three year old, with all due respect to Thompson’s fans, is about to become wife number two of King Charles’ “hot” squire.
