Upcoming News: The Real Love Story of Downton Abbey
Herbert Pelham and Lady Edith: A Love Story from the Silver Screen to Real Life
The Castle Lord and the TV Star Unite in a Modern-Day Fairy Tale
Introducing Herbert Pelham, 7th Marquess of Hexham, also known as Bertie, the owner of the grand Brancaster Castle in Northumberland. Bertie is not just another aristocrat; he is also a second cousin once-removed to Harry Frederick Gerard Hadden-Paton, the actor who plays him in the hit TV series Downton Abbey.
The connection between the real-life Bertie and his fictional counterpart doesn't end there. Lady Edith Crawley, Bertie's love interest in the show, is played by Laura Carmichael, whose real-life husband is none other than the actor who plays Bertie himself.
But this story isn't just about the connections between the actors and their characters. It's about the real-life love story between Herbert Pelham and his wife, Lady Edith Pelham. Their journey from being a middle-class land agent and a Downton Abbey star to becoming a modern-day fairy tale is a tale worth telling.
