A priest today branded Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie the ‘New Tudors’ as she claimed the mechanism that allowed the twice-divorcee to remarry in a Catholic church had effectively ‘made his children “illegitimate”.’

Midlands-based Reverend Eva McIntyre, a retired Anglican priest, hit out at religious heads who okayed the service in one of their places of worship on Saturday.

It prompted a row over how Mr Johnson’s ex wives must feel and what it meant for the children he had with them.
