Prime Minister Boris Johnson and wife Carrie Johnson at the National Service of Thanksgiving at St Paul’s Cathedral, London, on day two of the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II.

Boris Johnson did not deny claims his wife Carrie had been considered for senior roles in Government or with the royal family.

The UK prime minister was directly challenged about the issue following claims he had spoken with aides about environmental roles for his wife in autumn 2020, either for the Cop26 summit or with the Royal Family, sources told the Daily Mirror.
