Theresa May has opened up about her personal life, revealing that not being able to have children has been ‘very sad’.In a rare personal interview, the prime minister said Christianity has helped her cope with never becoming a mother.
Speaking on LBC, Mrs May was asked by host Nick Ferrari about the impact on her of not having children, and how she might have been different if she had been a mother.She said: ''Well I think it’s impossible to answer the question about how I would have been had I done. I mean, it’s been very sad, it just turned out not to be possible for us.''
''Of course, we are not the only couple who finds themselves in that situation and when you do I suppose you just get on with life. We’ve got nephews and nieces.''Mrs May, a vicar’s daughter, also credited her Christian faith when asked if it had impacted her beliefs.
She added: ''I think my faith helped actually, as well, in just again being a sort of support there for me.''In a lighter moment during the emotional interview, Mr Ferrari quizzed the prime minister, a keen cook with more than 100 recipe books, about what she would cook for Donald Trump if he came round for dinner.She replied: ''I might do something like a slow-roast shoulder of lamb. It’s making it really slow roast so it falls off the bone. Absolutely gorgeous.''
Mrs May was 25 when her father, the Rev Hugh Brasier, was killed in a car crash and her mother Zaidee died a few months later.Speaking of the loss of her parents, she said: "It did have quite an impact on me."I was very fortunate in that I had been married not that long beforehand and Philip has been a fantastic support for me. He really was my rock at that time."I was an only child, so I didn't have brothers and sisters I could share it with.''
