Kathryn Blair
Kathryn Hazel Blair (b.
March 2,
1988) is the only daughter of
British Prime Minister Tony Blair and
Cherie Booth,
QC.
While her residence of record, in common with her parents and her brothers
Euan,
Nicky and
Leo, is the
ex officio London residence of all Prime Ministers
10 Downing Street the family in fact live at
11 Downing Street since the accommodation there is bigger.
The Blairs have at times been ready to use legal and other action to protect the privacy of their children. For example, in
1999, the
Press Complaints Commission upheld a complaint from the Blairs against the
Daily Mail that they had improperly used their position to obtain a school place for Kathryn, on the grounds that it was both inaccurate and a breach of Kathryn's privacy. [

They did not, however, take any action over media speculation including articles in
The Age,
The Daily Telegraph, and the
Irish Independent, and on
Indymedia related to an unconfirmed
May 2004 event in Kathryn's private life.
