UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his fiancee Carrie Symonds have named their newborn baby boy Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson, it was announced on Saturday.
The baby was born Wednesday, and was given the middle name Nicholas in honor of two doctors who treated Boris Johnson while he suffered from coronavirus last month.
“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,” Carrie Symonds said on her Instagram account Saturday.
“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,” she added.
Johnson returned to work on Monday, after becoming the first world leader to fall ill with coronavirus in March.
The UK Prime Minister spent three nights in intensive care in early April, before his condition improved
and was discharged.
“I have today left hospital after a week in which the NHS has saved my life, no question,” Johnson said in the video. “It’s hard to find the words to express my debt.” he added.
The PM’s fiancée, Carrie Symonds, took to her social media and thanked the medical team. In a series of tweets, Symonds thanked the NHS staff:
“I cannot thank our magnificent NHS enough. The staff at St Thomas’ Hospital have been incredible. I will never, ever be able to repay you and I will never stop thanking you. she wrote
