Major Johnny Thompson kept distracting people from what they were actually supposed to watch on the day of King Charles' Coronation.

Royal fans thought he looked dapper in kilt, and many of them remembered how Queen Elizabeth smiled when Johnny was with her.

They couldn't help praising him as he carried King Charles cape.

Major Johnny Thompson, of the 5th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland, is King Charles III's equerry, which is an officer of the royal household who assists members of the royal family. As the King's equerry, he is responsible for the detailed planning and execution of the monarch's daily programmes.
