British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has revealed the touching meaning behind his newborn daughterтАЩs name тАФ and released an adorable photo.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie have named their new baby girl Romy тАУ and shared an adorable first picture.
The couple announced the unique full name of their daughter today тАУ several days after Carrie gave birth in a London hospital, The Sun reports.
Her full name is Romy Iris Charlotte Johnson, and the adorable picture shows her in a crib next to their Christmas tree, with doting brother Wilfred looking over her.
Carrie, 33, shared the news on her Instagram тАУ just minutes after the PM let it slip on a clip today when he was on a visit to a vaccine centre.
In her sweet social media post, the PMтАЩs wife said big brother Wilf was settling into the role well, тАЬstroking RomyтАЩs hair, giving big kisses and playing with his matchbox cars right next to her crib, just in case she feels like joining in tooтАЭ.
Little Wilf, who has a curly head of blonde locks and is the spitting image of his dad, became the star of the G7 after charming world leaders on the beaches of Cornwall last summer.
Carrie thanked the тАЬamazing maternity staffтАЭ at University College Hospital for looking after them, adding: тАЬwe are so, so gratefulтАЭ.
Boris, 57, was with eco-campaigner Carrie throughout the birth and went to visit the pair several times in the last week, before the pair came home over the weekend.
She said the coupleтАЩs new bundle of joy, who was born at 9.02am last Thursday, was named after her aunt Rosemary, and her middle name Charlotte after BorisтАЩ late mum, who died earlier this year.
Iris is from the Greek meaning rainbow тАУ in a touching tribute to CarrieтАЩs miscarriage earlier this year.
TodayтАЩs happy news comes after Carrie revealed she had tragically lost a baby earlier this year.
Announcing she was pregnant with Romy, the PMтАЩs wife said she was тАЬhoping for our rainbow baby this ChristmasтАЭ.
A тАШrainbow babyтАЩ is often used as a term to describe a child after miscarriage.
She said: тАШтАЩAt the beginning of the year, I had a miscarriage which left me heartbroken.
тАШтАЩI feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant again but IтАЩve also felt like a bag of nerves.
тАШтАЩFertility issues can be really hard for many people, particularly when on platforms like Instagram it can look like everything is only ever going well.
тАШтАЩI found it a real comfort to hear from people who had also experienced loss so I hope that in some very small way sharing this might help others too,тАЩтАЩ she added.
Months later she revealed the тАЬworry was constantтАЭ but had welcomed help from baby-loss charity TommyтАЩs.
The PM is not expected to take any formal paternity leave, but will spend extra time with his newborn daughter and the rest of his family over the next few weeks.
The baby girl is CarrieтАЩs second child and the Prime MinisterтАЩs seventh.
The PM, who has been married three times, has another four children from his marriage to Marina Wheeler тАУ Theodore, 22, Lara, 28, Milo, 26, and Cassia, 24.
And he has another child, Stephanie, 12, from his relationship with art consultant Helen MacIntyre.
The couple announced the 33-year-old was pregnant again in July with an adorable Instagram snap of a pram.
It came just two months after they secretly wed in Westminster Cathedral on May 29, 2021.
Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson, the coupleтАЩs first child, was named after medics who treated Boris for Covid, and BorisтАЩ grandfather.
