Like her predecessors, Liz Terrace moves to Downing Street with her husband and two teenage daughters who will have to get used to this new life.
Hugh O’Leary, who has been married to Liz Terrace for 22 years, was at her side on Monday when she was declared the Conservative leadership winner, and was at her side Tuesday as she entered Government House.
This 48-year-old chartered accountant from the London School of Economics is known for being discreet. The Mirror daily said he could “walk down the street without being recognized, even in Downing Street”.
Observers often compare him to former Prime Minister Theresa May’s husband, who chose to stay out of the limelight, unlike Carrie Johnson, the wife of outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
The Guardian noted that he prefers “to take care of the housework during the week, while his wife is busy in Westminster”.
The Mirror also quoted Trace as saying, “When I need to have a late discussion about economic policy reform or about econometrics, I always find the one” ready, referring to her husband.
Hugh O’Leary, who is the chief financial officer of a property company, may continue to work from the couple’s home in southeast London or he could move into an office near Westminster, the Guardian reported, citing a friend.
Hugh and Liz have two daughters, 16-year-old Frances and 13-year-old Liberty, according to photos of birthday cakes posted by their mother on Instagram. They will also move to Downing Street.
After Boris Johnson’s two children born while he was prime minister, or David Cameron’s young children, two teenage girls will move there 25 years after former “Labour” Prime Minister Tony Blair’s children, who were also in their teens.
– ‘So excited’

Like Malia and Sasha, daughters of former US President Barack Obama, the two girls are poised to become among the most visible teenagers in the British media.
According to the Guardian, they are “very excited” about the idea of ​​moving to 10 Downing Street, or 11 Downing Street, a larger apartment favored by many prime ministers, with a back door that leads directly into St James’ Park.
Frances participated in her mother’s campaign as part of the team responsible for digital content. “Francis may be a little more centrist and Liberty a little more conservative, but they both encourage me a lot,” Liz Truss told The Times during the campaign trail, adding that she talks to them “all the time about politics.”
“I’m very open with my daughters. I think that’s the only way to act because it’s a life full of stress,” added the current prime minister, who is fiercely protective of her private life.
The current Prime Minister may not be able to maintain her family’s privacy as she moves to Downing Street.
