British prime minister Boris Johnson has reportedly married fiancee Carrie Symonds in a low-key ceremony planned in strict secrecy. It is Mr Johnson’s third marriage, having finalised his divorce from his second wife Marina Wheeler in 2020. Ms Symonds wore a long white dress but not a veil, while Mr Johnson was described as wearing a “very dapper” suit. The ceremony meant Mr Johnson became the first prime minister to marry in office since Lord Liverpool married Mary Chester in 1822. The wedding comes at the end of a difficult week for the prime minister in which his former aide Dominic Cummings branded him unfit for office.
