Carrie Symonds and Boris Johnson have named their baby son Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson.
Announcing the name on Instagram, Ms Symonds said the baby was named after the prime minister’s grandfather, Wilfred, and her grandfather, Lawrie.
She added that Nicholas was chosen in honour of the two doctors who saved Mr Johnson’s life while he was ill with coronavirus last month, Dr Nick Price and Dr Nick Hart.
Ms Symonds praised the maternity team at University College Hospital in London, adding: Thank you so, so much to the incredible NHS maternity team at UCLH that looked after us so well. I couldn’t be happier. My heart is full.
The baby was born on 29 April at UCLH at 9am. The birth came just weeks after Mr Johnson was discharged from intensive care where he had been battling coronavirus.
