Boris Johnson married his fiancée, Carrie Symonds, in a secret ceremony yesterday morning, marking the first time in nearly 200 years that a British Prime Minister married while in office.

Mr. Johnson, 56, and Ms. Symonds, 33, married at central London's Westminster Cathedral, where their son, Wilfred, was baptized last year.

The ceremony took place just days after the couple was said to have sent “save the dates” to family and friends for a July 30, 2022 wedding party.

Downing Street refused to comment on the wedding, despite the fact that some senior members of Mr Johnson's team were ignorant of it until after it had occurred.
