Boris Johnson and Carrie already share son Wilfred, who they welcomed in April 2020.

Carrie shared the couple’s happy news in a post on her private Instagram after revealing she had suffered a miscarriage earlier this year.

“At the beginning of the year, I had a miscarriage which left me heartbroken,” she began.

“I feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant again but I’ve also felt like a bag of nerves.

“Fertility issues can be really hard for many people, particularly when on platforms like Instagram it can look like everything is only ever going well.”

She added: “I 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.”

Alongside the post she shared a picture of a blue buggy Christmas decoration.

Carrie announced the couple’s engagement and her first pregnancy in a social media post last year.

She again took to Instagram to share the news of Wilfred’s arrival, revealing he had also been named after the two doctors who saved Boris’ life when he contracted coronavirus.

She said: “Introducing Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson born on 29.04.20 at 9am.

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

In May, the couple wed in a secret ceremony at Westminster Cathedral in front of a small group of close friends and family.

The wedding made Boris the first Prime Minister to marry in office since Lord Liverpool married Mary Chester in 1822.

This is Boris’s third marriage. His first to Allegra Mostyn-Owen was annulled in 1993. He then married Marina Wheeler, with whom he had four children, and they separated in 2018. Their divorce was finalised after he arrived in Downing Street in 2019.

How to cook turkey crown: The best turkey crown recipe

Image
A turkey crown makes a handsome centrepiece on the Christmas table and is the ideal turkey option for smaller festive gatherings. A turkey crown is a whole turkey with the legs and usually the wings removed, so just the white breast meat is left on the bone. It is also possible to buy a deboned stuffed turkey crown where the bones are removed making it extra easy to carve. Both are an ideal choice for a smaller Christmas fest as there is less meat. And although very similar, we do find a turkey crown a bit simpler to cook than a whole turkey. As when cooking an entire bird there can be a difference in cooking times between the light and dark meat. Turkey crowns are readily available from supermarket and butchers in the weeks leading up to Christmas and Thanksgiving. They will often come adorned with an attractive bacon lattice or herby decoration to make them look extra special – and to save you the job of dressing it yourself! Per kilo turkey crowns are generally more expensive
