The Duchess was on top form as she moved down the line and chatted to production staff
They ought to be getting used to Royal visits by now. Barely a week after the Countess of Wessex visited the set with the Mexican First Lady in tow, the stars of Downton Abbey had another regal guest - this time, the Duchess of Cambridge.
Kate, 33, has long been a fan of the long-running ITV drama and famously revealed that she watches the show with husband Prince William during a conversation with actress Jessica Findlay-Brown in 2011.
Unfortunately, the Duchess missed out on meeting Dame Maggie Smith who plays the Dowager Duchess of Grantham who had to cry off due to illness.
Instead, Kate, who has less than six weeks to go before the birth of her second child, was greeted outside Ealing Studios by the drama's clearly delighted creator Julian Fellowes.
Lord Fellowes is no stranger to royalty thanks to his wife, Lady Emma Kitchener, who is, co-incidentally, a lady-in-waiting to Princess Michael of Kent, who is a neighbour of Kate's at Kensington Palace. Click link for full post from The Daily Mail.
