A feline trio at Downing Street
With Prince joining the family, there are now three cats at Downing Street. The Starmer family also has a rescue cat named JoJo and Larry, the well-known internet sensation, who has been living there since 2011, making him one of the longest residents.
With Prince’s arrival, speculation has grown about Larry’s future as he gets older. In a response to a photo of the Prime Minister with Prince, Larry's official X account stated, “My position as best-looking cat on Downing Street remains unchallenged.”
