NEWS STORY : Charlotte Owen Introduced to the House of Lords

STORY:

Charlotte Owen, a former advisor to Boris Johnson, has made history by becoming the youngest appointed member of the House of Lords at the age of 30. Her appointment as Baroness Owen of Alderley Edge was part of Boris Johnson’s outgoing honours list and has been controversial due to her limited work experience. Owen was introduced into the House of Lords yesterday and swore the oath of allegiance to King Charles III.

Sir James Duddridge, who worked in 10 Downing Street during the Johnson period of Government, said that she had been “vital” to the Prime Minister and that the honour was deserved. Other in Downing Street said off the record that she had been a junior figure and that the appointment was something of a surprise.
