Even without great ostentation, the celebration generated controversy in 2021, as Boris has already been divorced twice. The couple have two children, Wilfred, who is now two years old, and Romy, who is seven months old.
It was initially thought that the celebration would take place at Checkers, a 16th-century mansion owned by the British government and serving as the country residence of the prime minister. However, after Boris Johnson presented his resignation as head of the Government at the beginning of July, this hypothesis was no longer raised.
