Until a strange black bag, on which stands out the silhouette of a man in a cloak, invites itself to ours to feed. “Major Johnny Thompson, My Kilty Pleasure (to understand, “my guilty pleasure,” a play on words combining the terms “kilt” And guilty pleasure Editor’s note)’, can we read this accessory of questionable taste, sold for a modest £30 (€34).

When questioned, we were quick to investigate. The individual in question? A certain Jonathan Thompson, Charles III’s loyal and attractive squirrel, with exponential popularity.

Appointed to his position in 2020, the 39-year-old lieutenant colonel has been unleashing passions for some time now. The main concern, despite himself, came into the spotlight at the funeral of Elizabeth II, which was organized in September 2022 at Westminster Abbey.

A “unique” power

It would take more to destabilize a smooth squish. Every day, the ultra-disciplined Jonathan Thompson first and foremost intends to complete his missions; to ensure that Charles III’s days run smoothly, to act as a link between the monarch and his guests, whom he sometimes graces with his dazzling smile, and to supervise Her Majesty’s travels. At the start of the royal visit to France, Jonathan Thomson was immortalized alongside Charles III and Camilla, Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron at a memorial service under the Arc de Triomphe.

The problem is that he exposes little of himself other than the calves he says. This also means that he has neither an Instagram account nor a Twitter account, and remains well hidden apart from his official missions in the privacy of his home in Surrey. All this in the company of one Caroline, a gym teacher, former Packard Bell employee, skilled rider (and enemy #1 of her fan base), their son, and two Labradors. “He’s the real star,” some fans declare. One thought follows another, but it’s Hugh Jackman, immortalized in the middle of a media firestorm while dining with his friend Ryan Reynolds, who returns to our minds.
