Boris Johnson's father is in the process of applying for a French passport to maintain his ties with Europe after Brexit.
Stanley Johnson, a former MEP who voted Remain in the referendum, has requested to become a French citizen as his mother Irene was born in Versailles.
The move was revealed by the prime minister's sister Rachel, an ardent Europhile, in her new book, Rake's Progress.
Ms Johnson said that her father is “en route to becoming a French citizen, as his mother had been born in Versailles and his grandmother had been in Paris”.
She added: “This is good news — I might be able to become French too.”
