the late queen Elizabeth: Last News

Royal fans have gone wild for King Charles’ “handsome” bodyguard Lieutenant Colonel Johnny Thompson, who was one of the late Queen Elizabeth’s most senior bodyguards. He is now Charles’ equerry, meaning he is responsible for the detailed planning and execution of the royals' daily programmes. Sharing a series of videos of Johnny alongside the monarch greeting crowds on The Mall yesterday, Friday 5 May, fans admitted they were “distracted” by a certain good looking member of the king’s entourage.The walkabout was unexpected, as Charles and his son Prince William, and daughter-in-law Kate Middleton spoke with members of the public.

As the head of state, it came with a busy schedule for the late Queen Elizabeth with royal duties and engagements taking place across the globe - all at the same time as having a family.

The Coronation of King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort will be "less impactful" than the late Queen Elizabeth's, a royal expert has said.

The procession route for the Coronation of King Charles III and Camilla, Queen Consort will be much shorter than the late Queen Elizabeth's, with a royal exporting saying this could be due to "costs" and security".
