Does Liz Truss Have A Child? Meet Her Two Children, Frances and Liberty

The politician, 47, is currently beating rival Rishi Sunak in the polls – despite him winning over more Tory MPs in the first stage of the Conservative leadership race.

Of course, only around 180,000 people will end up deciding whether Ms Truss or Mr Sunak will get the keys to No 10 – as Conservative Party members get to decide their next leader.

Still, it’s worth getting to know the candidates, including their views, early life, educational background and families.

So, who are Liz Truss’ parents? And does she have any siblings?

Who are Liz Truss’ parents?

Ms Truss was born in Oxford, England in July 1975 to mum Priscilla Mary and dad John Kenneth Truss.

The family moved to Paisley, in Scotland, when Ms Truss was aged four, and as a child she moved again Leeds (where she attended Roundhay School, which she has famously commented on).

Her dad became an Emeritus Professor of Pure Mathematics at the University of Leeds – while mum Priscilla has worked as a nurse and teacher, as well as been a member of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND).

Ms Truss has previously said she was raised in a ‘left wing’ household.

As a young girl in the 1980s she was taken to protests against Tory PM Margaret Thatcher’s government.

Ms Truss later became a Liberal Democrat – championing the party as leader of its society during her time at the University of Oxford. But in 1996, she joined the Conservatives.

In 2009, The Guardian reported her parents were ‘aghast’ by the decision to turn blue, with Ms Truss saying: ‘I was brought up in a very left wing household.

‘My mum was in the CND and my dad’s a university maths lecturer. One of his colleagues sent an email when he found out saying: ‘I see your daughter’s become a T***’.

She added: ‘I didn’t know any Tories at my school [in Leeds]. All my teachers were Labour supporters.’

Flash forward to the present day, and according to the Express, a colleague of Professor Truss alleged that he was left ‘appalled’ by his daughter’s ‘conversion to extreme right wing politics’.

Does Liz Truss have siblings?

Liz Truss has three younger brothers, according to a 2019 feature on her by You magazine.

Ms Truss also has a family of her own with husband Hugh O’Leary, who is an accountant.

The couple, who have been together since 1997 and married since 2000, share two daughters: Frances, 16, and 13-year-old Liberty.

Not much is known about them, as it appears their parents have opted to keep them away from the public eye – though Ms Truss did bring Liberty on the campaign trail recently.
