Short description

The beloved Crawleys and their intrepid staff prepare for the most important moment of their lives. A royal visit from the King and Queen of England will unleash scandal, romance and intrigue that will leave the future of Downton hanging in the balance.

What's left behind the scenes

The depiction of George V's (1865-1936) visit to Downton Abbey is based on his visit to Wentworth Woodhouse, a mansion in Yorkshire where the ball scenes of the series were filmed.
Mrs. Bates tells a servant caught stealing how terrible it would be if the disappearance of items during her and Mary of Teck's (1867-1953, Queen of the United Kingdom and Ireland) visits led to suspicion falling on the Queen. This remark alludes to the fact that the Queen had a habit of stealing antiques, which was well known to everyone. If the item was small, she would hide it in her handbag; if it was too large for the handbag, she would begin to praise it repeatedly until the owner offered it to her.
Bertie, the Marquess of Hexham, is offered the position of assistant to the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII, 1894-1972) during a trip to Africa in 1928. He declines the offer. In reality, this position was held by Alan Frederick ‘Tommy’ Lascelles (1887-1981), whose cousin Henry (1882-1947), the sixth Earl of Harewood, was married to Princess Mary (1897-1965), daughter of George V.
The scene in the gay club was filmed in a packhouse. In 1920s Britain, such establishments were prohibited, but existed in all major cities. The club that Thomas visits is fictional.
