MAIL ONLINE: They may not immediately strike observers as man and wife.
But as the former wife of Boris Johnson is pictured publicly for the first time with her 'secret' toyboy husband, friends say she is 'as happy as Larry'.
Socialite Allegra Mostyn-Owen, 45, stunned her family at Christmas with news of her second marriage, to Abdul Majid, 23.Apparently they did not react with joy to the fact that she was tying the knot with a Muslim.
Controversially, she has suggested she would be content to be just one of his wives since she realises she may be too old to have his children.
Miss Mostyn- Owen - who was married to London Mayor Mr Johnson from 1987 to 1993 after they met at Oxford University - has revealed her dismay at her father suggesting she had been 'recruited' by Muslim fundamentalists.
She is the only daughter of Italian writer Gaia Servadio and multimillionaire landowner and art historian William Mostyn-Owen.
She said: 'My best friend rang my Dad to say, "Allegra is fine, happy as Larry, just a bit stressed". Do you know what my Dad said?
'Dad goes: "So when was she recruited?" He was talking about terrorism and Islam in one breath!' >>> Sam Greenhill | Saturday, January 23, 2010
