Carrie Johnson embraced and kissed friends, aides, and politicians who lined up in Downing Street to hear Boris’ defiant farewell to the nation. However, she looked to be ‘dragged’ away by her husband as he hastened to see the Queen at Balmoral.
Mrs. Johnson clutched her husband’s hand as he exited the world-famous black door for the final time as Prime Minister, before he praised his own legacy in a goodbye address rushed forward an hour due to a storm warning.
As he appeared on the steps of No10 in front of MPs and allies, the outgoing prime minister put on a brave face about his departure, declaring, “this is it, folks.”
And his wife was evidently upset to be departing, pausing to embrace the dozens of people who applauded them as they headed towards their armored Range Rover with their two children, Wilf and Romy.
Mr. Johnson also shook hands with current and past Cabinet ministers, as well as Jacob Rees-Mogg with one of his sons. But as he attempted to reach his vehicle, Carrie was still saying her goodbyes.
TV viewers of the historic moment noticed that Boris appeared to be pushing her forward, and as he grasped her hand to hurry her ahead, he almost accidentally knocked her into some street furniture.
One person commented, “The manner in which Boris took Carrie away from Downing Street and through the crowd was so bizarre and amusing. She was mere seconds away from colliding with that lamp post; thankfully, she avoided it. Another man claimed that Boris had fled and dragged Carrie behind him, likening him to an ape.

Allies believe Mr. would boycott the Conservative Party conference this fall in an effort to maintain a low profile following his resignation as prime minister.
While his followers hope for a comeback, he plans to spend the next few weeks’representing his constituents’ and supporting Liz Truss.
According to a Whitehall insider, he will become a “private individual” and will “probably not” attend his party’s annual autumn gathering in Birmingham next month.
According to reports, the departed prime minister will likely join the lucrative lecture circuit and publish his memoirs, but will avoid high-profile political actions. Will Walden, who served as Mr. Johnson’s communications director when he was mayor of London, stated yesterday on LBC radio that he anticipated Mr. Johnson to “disappear to earn a lot of money.”
In the midst of uncertainty over Mr. Johnson’s future, his wife Carrie paid a heartfelt tribute to his term as Prime Minister as she and their children prepared to depart Downing Street.
She shared an Instagram photo of herself, Mr. Johnson, and their two-year-old and nine-month-old children Wilfred and Romy entering No. 10 for the last time.
She carried Romy while Wilfred kicked with his left leg while gripping his parents’ hands while wearing a long white frock. Mrs. Johnson, age 33, posted a brief reflection on her children’s pleasant time at both No. 10 and Chequers beside the photo. Today, the family will assemble outside No. 10 to observe Mr. Johnson’s farewell address.
Mr. Walden also told ITV that “few” MPs would desire Mr. Johnson to make a comeback, as there is only “a small clique of very, very dedicated Boris acolytes,” and he predicted that he would have to return under “weird circumstances.”
Lord Udny-Lister, Mr. Johnson’s former No. 10 chief of staff, stated over the weekend that Tory MPs would come to regret removing him and that he may be tempted to compete for leader again in the future.
