Charlotte Owen
The woman who became the youngest person ever to receive a life peerage, on the recommendation of Boris Johnson.
The youngest person ever to receive a life peerage, Charlotte Owen鈥檚 elevation to the House of Lords, after less than six years in Westminster - some of it working as an intern - has made newspaper headlines.
She鈥檚 had a remarkably quick rise through the Conservative party, starting as an intern and ending up a special advisor to then Prime Minister, Boris Johnson - the man who recommended her peerage when he resigned.
Charlotte Owen has faced much scrutiny since her peerage was announced but those close to her say she has youth and energy on her side, and is ready to embrace her new role.
Mark Coles talks to her colleagues and friends to gain insight into the particularly private future baroness.
