::''This article is about Tony Blair's son. For the article about Tony Blair's father, please see Leo Blair (senior) .'' Leo George Blair (born 20 May , 2000 ) is the youngest son of Tony Blair , the former Prime Minister Of The United Kingdom , and his wife Cherie Blair . He is named after Tony Blair's Father . He was born at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London . Prior to his birth there was much speculation in the media that he would be born via elective Caesarian Section , in part due to Cherie's previous caesarian and in part due to Cherie's age. In fact he was born naturally after a 12 hour labour, weighing 6lb 12oz. Leo Blair was the first legitimate child to be born to a serving Prime Minister since Francis Albert Rollo Russell was born to Lord John Russell on 11 July , 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 . The first official photos of Leo were taken by close family friend Mary McCartney . Despite the Blairs' desire to shield Leo from publicity, photos of Leo have been published with some famous faces including Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother and Jacques Chirac , the former President of France . In January 2006 it was revealed that police were aware of a suggested plot by former members of Fathers 4 Justice to kidnap Leo in order to highlight their cause. {Link without Title} However, no kidnapping took place, and Downing Street and the police officially refused to confirm or deny the story. Fathers 4 Justice disbanded as a result of the negative publicity surrounding this revelation. EXTERNAL LINKS
