This is exciting! DowntonAbbeyFilm
Lesley Nichol spoke to HELLO! at the Downton Abbey premiere September 09, 2019 - 21:58 BST Jenni McKnight Downton Abbey star Lesley Nicol has revealed her own surprising royal connection – she knows the Duchess of Cornwall! The 66-year-old actress, who played cook Mrs Patmore in the original series and will reprise her role in the upcoming movie version, spoke to HELLO! on the red carpet at the movie's glitzy London premiere in Leicester Square on Monday.
Downton Abbey the movie centres on a visit from the royal family. The film takes place in 1927, two years from where the TV series left off. The Crawley family and their army of loyal maids, butlers and cooks are thrown into disarray by the impending arrival of King George V and Queen Mary. For the most extravagant scenes, producers used 100 horses, 80 soldiers and six gun carriages from the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, the first time they have appeared in a drama.
According to Variety, the Crawley's Yorkshire estate is being run by fewer servants in the wake of the Great Depression and the aftermath of World War I, and so the family ask retired head butler Carson to return to help with their affairs. But when the monarch’s French chef – played by Philippe Spall – and his entourage attempt to take over, it becomes a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth.
