A British woman has been charged with persistent stalking of George Osborne, former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer and current chairman of the British Museum, as well as his wife, according to court documents.

Lydia Shuffield, 27, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London on Monday. She is accused of persistently stalking Osborne, who served as Chancellor from 2010 to 2016, and Thea Rogers between June 8, 2022, and July 5, 2023.

According to the indictment, Shuffield, from Liverpool, sent emails and Instagram messages to the couple and made “false referrals to the NSPCC,” a children’s charity.

No further details about the alleged offense were disclosed, and Shuffield was not available for comment.

Since leaving government, Osborne has taken on various roles, including editor of the Evening Standard. He is now chairman of the British Museum and works for the investment bank Robey Warshaw.

He married Rogers on July 8, 2023.
