Carrie Symonds: Think Boris Johnson breaks the mold? Wait until you meet his girlfriend
CNNLondon CNN — When Boris Johnson’s girlfriend Carrie Symonds joined the entourage of staff who gathered outside 10 Downing Street to watch his first speech as British Prime Minister, witnesses reported that photographers went “bananas.” Until now, the 31-year-old former Conservative party communications official has done a pretty good job of staying out of the media spotlight – rarely seen on the campaign trail and steering clear of historic moments like meeting the Queen.
