Queen Camilla recently bid farewell to her right-hand man, Major Ollie Plunket.

The queen, who appointed the right-hand man in 2022 as her equerry, an officer from the British Armed Forces selected to assist senior royals with their official duties during appointments that typically last about three years, to the Queen, revealed the news during a speech last week.

While speaking at the Guildhall in the City of London, the Queen, who is Colonel-in-Chief of The Rifles, thanked her 31-year-old equerry, saying, “I would like to say a huge thank you to Major Ollie Plunket, who has been my staunch equerry for the past three years."

She added, "He has excelled in everything he has done for me."

An entry in The Court Circular, on November 30, revealed that Major Oliver "Ollie" Plunket met with Queen Camilla and King Charles at Sandringham to resign as equerry to the Queen.

The statement, as reported by PEOPLE, stated, "Major Oliver Plunket was received by The King and Queen this morning upon relinquishing his appointment as Equerry to Her Majesty when His Majesty invested him with the Insignia of a Member of the Royal Victorian Order."

Moreover, the statement confirmed the transition and Plunket's prestigious new position in the Royal Victorian Order.
