By Peter McLarenKennedy
A SPOKESPERSON told the BBC on Saturday, January 28 that the wife of the Wales First Minister Mark Drakeford had died suddenly and unexpectedly.
No details were provided at the time, although it is known that Drakeford had said during the pandemic that both his wife, Claire and her mother were “vulnerable.” A spokesperson for Drakeford said: “The thoughts of everyone in the Welsh government are with the family at this time and we ask that their privacy is respected.”
Politicians from across the divide took to social media to express their condolences for the Drakefords who got married in 1977. The couple had three children together.
