Leo George Blair (born May 20, 2000) is the youngest son of the Right Honourable Tony Blair, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Cherie Booth QC, and is named after Tony Blair's father. He was born at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.
Leo Blair is the first child to be born to a serving Prime Minister since Francis Albert Rollo Russell was born to Lord John Russell on July 11, 1849. The Blairs have been very conscious to shield Leo from media scrutiny. Tony Blair has refused to confirm whether Leo has received the MMR vaccine, a controversial issue in the United Kingdom.
Despite the Blairs' desire to shield Leo from publicity, he has had photos of himself published with some famous faces including Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother and Jacques Chirac, the President of France.
Leo lives at 10 Downing Street, London with his parents and three siblings: Euan Blair, Nicky Blair and Kathryn Blair.
