Lieutenant Colonel Jonny Thompson, who serves as senior equerry to King Charles III and Queen Camilla, is leaving his royal post at the end of the year. Multiple outlets report that the Buckingham Palace statement announces his departure alongside his plan to quit the British Army after nearly 22 years of service.
The coverage is aligned on the timing and roles involved: Thompson holds the senior equerry position for both the King and the Queen and is a senior military officer. While one outlet emphasizes his public profile, describing him as a kilt-clad equerry with a following, the basic facts remain the same across sources: Buckingham Palace issues the notice, and Thompson is departing after a long period in the Army and in the equerry role.
No outlet provides additional details about the reasons for the departure or his future plans beyond the end-of-year timeline and his completion of service length.
