HELLO! understands that Her Majesty, 94, has previously offered Buckingham Palace's facilities to Prime Ministers "from time to time". A Whitehall source also told The Times: "It's obviously important that the Prime Minister is able to take exercise." Boris has also been spotted going for a run with his dog, Dilyn, in the grounds of Lambeth Palace, opposite the Houses of Parliament.
Boris and his fiancée Carrie Symonds welcomed their first child together on 29 April 2020 – a son named Wilfred Lawrie Nicholas Johnson. The Queen sent a private message of good wishes to the couple following the birth of their son at University College Hospital in London. The monarch also wished the Prime Minister "a full and speedy recovery," when Boris was admitted to St Thomas' Hospital with coronavirus symptoms last month.
