She had just been glimpsed in an Instagram post by Carrie Symonds, dated December 2021, which also featured her 2-year-old brother Wilfred.

Boris Johnson has been in turmoil for a few years now.
Worn out by scandals and weakened by an unprecedented series of resignations, numbering 55, he was forced to leave his post as leader of the Conservative Party, three years after taking office - all under the watchful eyes of his companion.
He nevertheless declared himself filled with hope for the future of his family.
"Even though things sometimes seem to be getting bleak right now, our future together will be prodigious," he said.
