Boris Johnson names son after Doctors who saved his life

UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson and his fiancee, Carrie Symonds, have named their baby boy Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson.

Ms Symonds posted a picture of her cradling the newborn on Instagram on Saturday and wrote: “Introducing Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson born on 29.04.20 at 9am.

“Wilfred after Boris’ grandfather, Lawrie after my grandfather, Nicholas after Dr Nick Price and Dr Nick Hart – the two doctors that saved Boris’ life last month.

“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 birth of Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson came just weeks after Mr Johnson was discharged from intensive care where he had been battling coronavirus.
