London: Mark Thatcher, the son of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, has married again in a secret ceremony in Gibraltar, according to a newspaper report on Sunday.
Thatcher, 54, married Sarah Russell, 42, after a three-year courtship, the Sunday Telegraph reported.
The wedding came amid media reports that Equatorial Guinea is to seek Thatcher's arrest on an international warrant, accusing him of being part of an attempted coup against the West African country.
Thatcher said, "Sarah and I knew from a very early stage that this was special and marriage had always seemed the inevitable outcome."
He added, "We are both absolutely delighted that it's now official. We were determined to keep the day for ourselves and only had three close friends at the ceremony and they kept it a secret for us."
Thatcher was divorced from his first wife, Diane, an American and the mother of his two children, last year after 18 years of marriage.
Thatcher has shrugged off Equatorial Guinea's efforts to have him arrested and has always denied plotting or knowingly financing the failed coup in 2004.
