Tatler poll: Young prefer her to Boris!

NEARLY a third of young adults prefer Carrie Symonds to Boris Johnson, a poll for society magazine Tatler has found.

The survey, which also found that 69 per cent believe that Ms Symonds, 32, influences decision-making at No 10, forms part of a cover- story on the Prime Minister’s fiancee headlined: ‘Carrie Coup’.

The profile, which will feature in the April issue, asks: ‘Who is the real Carrie Symonds?

‘ Is she the scheming Lady Macbeth pulling the strings inside No 10 or a fun- loving friend, feminist and mother, who just wants to save the planet?’

The profile includes comments from Ms Symonds’s closest friend, Nimco Ali, the women’s r i ghts campaigner, who is quoted as saying: ‘ She’s fun and kind, and she wants the world to be a better and a safer place for women. Can someone tell me what’s wrong with that?’

The Tatler article features a photo of Ms Symonds taken at the State Opening of Parliament in October 2019. It was reported the picture had been edited ‘to make her skin look significantly smoother and brighter’.
