LAHORE: Due to turn 60 on October 1, Britain’s second-ever female Premier Theresa May will assume ****** on Wednesday (today).

Mrs. May, the incumbent British Home Secretary since 2010, was reportedly introduced to her husband Philip May, currently working at Messrs Capital International, by the late Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto at a Conservative Party disco while both were studying at Oxford University.

The couple have ** children.

May was quoted by mainstream British media outlets as regretting **t having kids due to health reasons

In an interview, she had maintained: "You look at families all the time and you see there is something there that you don’t have.”

According to a British newspaper “The Independent,” the pair is fond of cricket.

The newspaper has stated: “He was two years her junior and the toast of the debating chamber while studying modern history, according to accounts. They were married on September 6, 1980. Mr May left university to embark on a successful career in the city. He was a fund manager at De Zoete & Bevan and Prudential Portfolio Managers UK and later Deutsche Asset Management UK. Since 2005, he has worked as a Relationship Manager at Capital Group. The pair lives in Sonning-on-Thames, a village and civil parish in Berkshire where Mrs May is the local MP. **table residents in the area include George and Amal Clooney, Uri Geller, and Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page.”

“The Independent” has added: “Mr May was a constant, supportive presence after his wife's parents died and left her as an orphan in her mid-twenties. Her father Reverend Hubert Brasier died in a car crash and her mother died from multiple sclerosis just a year later. Mrs May has rarely talked about what happened to her but she did open up about her husband’s “huge support” during an episode of Desert Island Discs. “That was very important for me. He was a real rock for me,” she said. Alicia Collinson, a close friend at Oxford, who learned of the crash a good few years later, said: “It was dreadful... Theresa had Philip and Philip saw her through that. He was and remains her rock.”
