Sharing photos from his time with William and Kate Middleton, Dixon wrote, “It’s time to move on… I’ve had the most incredible opportunity to serve in a role that not only challenged me, but allowed me to grow, to learn, and to make meaningful contributions alongside a talented and passionate team.”

“I am immensely grateful for the support, collaboration, and friendships formed during these last 4 years. It’s been a remarkable journey and I look forward to carrying the skills and insights I’ve gained into my next appointments,” he continues.

Dixon went on to say that he played a small part in “the funeral of The Prince Philip, the Platinum Jubilee, the funeral of our wonderful late Queen, the Coronation of a new Monarch, and all the weird and wonderful in between!”

“It’s now time to swap the top hat and tails for ‘daily working rig’ once again, and it’s the right thing to do. An Equerry’s role is finite, and handing over to an enthusiastic fresh set of eyes is all part of the process. The aim of any military role should be to serve, lead and support your team, strive for success, then move onwards and upwards; I’m excited to do just that,” Dixon added further.

He concluded his post saying, “I will be forever grateful to everyone who played their part alongside me in ‘Team Cambridge’ and ‘Team Wales’, and also to my superb Principals. I wish you all fair winds and following seas.”
