Their secret wedding sparked a controversy in the Catholic Church
The personal life of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has often caused scandals and his last third wedding will be no exception. Although it was carried out in a small circle, in complete secrecy and with many deceptive actions, the comments about it have not subsided for a week now.

The main controversy is whether Johnson was ever allowed to marry at Westminster Cathedral, which is near his premier residence on Downing Street after being divorced twice, and there are reports that he left the Catholic Church as a college student. Some priests believe that a gross violation of the canon has been committed.
“Can anyone tell me?
how he who left
the Catholic
church in Eaton and is
divorced twice,
get married in
Westminster
cathedral,
and I will have to explain to practicing Catholics who want a second church marriage that this is not possible, ”Father Mark Drew of Warrington tweeted.
According to the rector of St. Paul’s Cathedral in Deptford, Father Rob Butler, what happened shows that there is one ecclesiastical right for the rich and another for the poor.
The prime minister’s team claims that all the necessary steps provided for in both civil and church law have been taken. The prime minister has not received any special treatment. He and his wife are Catholics and the prime minister’s residence where they live is part of Westminster Parish. In addition, Johnson’s previous two marriages were not in a Catholic church.
There are also suspicions of irregularities around the hiring of a large one

on Downing Street
She was crucified days earlier for an event featuring the prime minister, but was then used for his personal celebration, which naturally raised the question of who paid for her longer stay. Moreover, Johnson is currently being screened by a parliamentary committee on a luxury tour and renovation of his prime minister’s residence, as there are suspicions that they are funded by donors to his Conservative Party.
Downing Street reports that the prime minister covered the cost of his wedding himself, which was not large, as there were only 30 guests due to coronavirus restrictions. Distributed two photos from the celebration reveal that it was sustained entirely according to the life philosophy of the bride for a greater connection with nature and its protection. Carrie Simmonds, 33, is an active conservationist. She does not buy luxury clothes, and when she has to wear them on official occasions, she rents from a specialized site. So it was for the wedding day.
However, in order to mislead the journalists that she was preparing for a wedding, she ordered two more dresses besides the white one she married. The photos show that she is barefoot and with a wreath of natural flowers on her head. Johnson is wearing a white shirt with rolled up sleeves. Her crumpled appearance provoked a lot of comments on social networks. Some have suggested that Boris probably didn’t have time to iron her for long, because this time he was busy combing his tousled hair, for which he was often ridiculed. Others wrote that
Carrie forbade him
to include the iron,
so as not to leave
carbon footprint,
and it didn’t make much sense since they had to sit on hay bales, as their wedding photos show.
Simmonds is 24 years younger than Johnson and moved into the prime minister’s residence when he was first elected prime minister in July 2019. Then she chose to mingle with officials at his official reception, which was not a big deal, since Simmonds is a former PR for the Conservative Party.
When they became boyfriends with Johnson in 2018 and he joined the race for the leadership position, she left her job so as not to be accused of a conflict of interest, and moved to a private company.
However, several scandals in recent months involving the dismissal of prime ministerial advisers have revealed that Carrie has a very key role in her husband’s political affairs, which is expected to become increasingly visible after their marriage. It has been announced that it will host the halves of world leaders who gather for a G7 meeting later this month in England.
Johnson is the first British prime minister in 200 years to marry while in office. In February last year, he divorced for 11 days, announced his engagement to his young girlfriend and the forthcoming birth of their son. There is a dispute about who this child is for him, because he is a politician

which some analysts jokingly compare to his shaggy hairstyle. He is officially the father of two girls and two boys aged 22 to 28 from his marriage to his second wife Marina, which officially ended on February 17, 2020. But he is also believed to have an illegitimate daughter.
It is not known if any of his grown heirs attended the wedding. His daughter Lara calls him a “selfish bastard” because he abandons their mother while she struggles with cancer. Lawyer Marina Wheeler twice chased Johnson out of their family home for love affairs before they divorced after 27 years of marriage. She herself, like Carrie, too

for his first wife
Allegra Mostin-Owen. The couple married in 1987 after meeting at Oxford University. Their relationship quickly fell apart because he began a relationship with Marina, whom he married in 1993. It is said that the two remained married for so long thanks to her patience – a quality that the politician valued in her and for which he returned several times. with a request to continue again.
However, wife number 3 is unlikely to enter “her shoes” for discreet support. People close to Carrie Simmonds describe her as an ambitious young woman who already knows Britain’s political elite quite well and will not waste her time just hanging around the stove and raising children. After their son Wilfred turned one in May, she was ready to take on more tasks to help her husband’s work.
The question is how visible this role will be, as the halves of British prime ministers have never held a place in the country’s political life. The reason is that they can only play certain protocol functions, which are generally performed by members of the royal family.
But as it has also been going through some turmoil in recent months, the prime minister’s wife, now named Carrie Johnson, may have an unexpected chance. However, it will certainly not continue to stand in the shadow of

as this also begins to create problems. It raises suspicions that she is pulling the strings behind the scenes on management issues, which is not good for Boris Johnson’s image.
