Charlotte Owen will become the youngest-ever life peer in the United Kingdom. Boris Johnson, who resigned as MP on Friday, got his honors list approved by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
Several Johnson allies were rewarded with peerages. Some of the big names of the former PM’s honor list are Priti Patel and Jacob Reed-Mogg. Former secretaries of state Simon Clarke and Rees-Mogg were knighted. Patel was made a dame.
Johnson resigned as prime minister last year. His list has 38 honors and seven peerages. Kulveer Singh Ranger, former London mayor, and former Downing Street chief of staff Dan Rosenfield were also rewarded.
However, one of the most talked about names on the list was Charlotte Owen. The former adviser to Johnson is 29 years old.

Owen graduated from university in 2015. As per reports, she has worked in the Parliament for quite some time now.
After completing her education, Owen spent five years interning and as a parliamentary assistant before becoming eligible for a lifetime seat in the government.
Liz Bates of Sky News said: “She’s had a few jobs in Parliament. One of those was working for Boris Johnson. She did in the end work for the Number 10 policy unit. And I think at the end of her political career she was working for Liz Truss and the chief whip at the time, not an illustrious political career by any stretch, but she will go to the House of Lords as well.”
