The Welsh Government has reported that CLARE DRAKEFORD, the wife of Wales’ First Minister Mark Drakeford, passed away “suddenly.”

A Welsh Government spokesperson said: “It is with deep sadness that we confirm the sudden passing of Clare Drakeford, wife of the First Minister.

“The thoughts of everyone in the Welsh Government are with the family at this time and we ask that their privacy is respected.”

Her cause of death is not yet known.

Last year Mr Drakeford revealed he had been separated from his “vulnerable” wife for much of the pandemic.

Leader of Welsh conservatives pays tribute

The leader of the Welsh Conservatives Andrew RT Davies, said he was “shocked and deeply saddened”.

“My thoughts and prayers are with Mark Drakeford and his family at this exceptionally difficult time,” he said.

“On the occasions I met Clare, she was always a lovely lady and was very warm and kind.”
