Olivia is a PR executive who used to work for Charles and Camilla, while her father, Simon Lewis, was the former communications head for Queen Elizabeth during the aftermath of Princess Diana's death in 1997.

The couple have kept their relationship largely away from the spotlight but were pictured together last summer before announcing their engagement in October.

Charles's "fabulous" aide has been during his appearances alongside the monarch but was forced to move to a less "public-facing role" last year as he reportedly did not like the attention he received.

At the time, a Palace source told the Times, that while he "remains senior equerry to the King and the Queen" he will be serving in a "more executive and less public-facing role".

Lt Col Thompson has been involved with the Royal Family for several years.

He has been one of the 5th Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland since 2006 and was previously one of the late Queen Elizabeth's most senior bodyguards.

Major Johnny has previously been featured in Tatler's Social Power Index.

The publication said: "The erstwhile Major Johnny has a fabulous sense of humour and looks as good in a suit as he does a kilt. It is from within the palace walls that the King's equerry wields his unique brand of quiet, charming power;

"But he's spotted where it counts, at the coronation, or on the opening night of the Berntson Bhattacharjee Gallery in Fitzrovia, for example, to which he wore a bunny tie and charmed India Rose James."
