それ以前に、
キャロルさん＆マイケルさん、ピッパさんは2011年にも訪れたという話

"Downton Abbey"

first aired in 2010, depicting the lives of the aristocratic Crawley family and their staff in the post-Edwardian era, it has captured the hearts and imagination of viewers around the world. It has received widespread critical acclaim and has become the most successful British costume drama series since the early eighties

ハイクレア城

Highclere is open to the public up to 70 days per year. When you visit you will recognise many rooms from Downton Abbey, including the drawing room in which Dame Maggie Smith has delivered many a withering remark to some unfortunate relation or guest

The cast are currently filming series six of the ITV drama, with cast and crew splitting their time between Ealing and locations such as Highclere Castle in Berkshire which stands in for the eponymous Downton Abbey

そもそもは、
201年に、シビル役
《Jessica Findlay-Brown》さんとお話した時に、
ファンであることを話されたそうです。

そのシビルさん・・・・・
は、この日いらっしゃらず。。。
その理由が切ない・・・
なんと、
2012年のシーズン（いくつだろ？）で、
殺されてしまうのだそう。

まさに、
舞台裏ツアー
製作工程すべてと言っても過言ではない、
メークルーム、衣裳ルーム、小道具など、
そしてそれぞれのアーティストの方々や、
当然キャストの方々ともお会いになりました。
実際のセットで収録されるところもご覧に。

軽いレセプションでは、
編集など、さまざまな製作スタッフともお会いになりました。
この時、撮影はなかった？らしい、
グランサム伯爵夫妻にも、この時に会われたよう。

最後は
訪問を記念した

なんと、ダウントン・アビーにも
”キャサリン妃効果” だったのか・・・・

皆さんがキャサリン妃に感謝をしているのだとか。
ツアー中、
《Lord Fellowes》氏曰く
世界中で大人気英ドラマが
海外にまで飛躍したのは
キャサリン妃のおかげなのだとか。。
2011年のＬＡツアーでの
彼女の無意識な発言が影響したらしい。
スゴイ！！！！
初のロイヤルツアーの時が影響してたのか・・・・・

キャサリン妃のことを
"functioning member of the Downton team"
と☆

At the end of the visit Lord Fellowes told the cast, crew and The Duchess:
" I hope you've seen the pleasure you've given by coming here this morning, we really do appreciate it. It's been rather an extraordinary journey aboard the good ship Downton but this is certainly one of the high points of the voyage. He highlighted how the Crown had been involved in the theatre over the centuries since King Charles II ordered actresses be allowed to appear on the London stage.

Lord Fellowes added: "And it so happens that just as we were trying to shift Downton in America, you actually made a visit and someone said, had you ever heard of a show called Downton Abbey. And you said you'd heard of it, you'd watched it, you'd enjoyed it, This went into the media like an Exocet missile and soon all of America and most of the world knew it and as a result our challenge faded away."

first stop
@ the make-up trailer

Her first stop was the hair and make-up trailer,
where she chatted to Phyllis Logan, who plays housekeeper Mrs Hughes, as she was prepared for the cameras by make-up artist Nic Collins, 44.
Also in the small space was Rob James-Collier, who plays under-butler Thomas. He pointed at the actress's forehead and joked: "You've come in at a really good point because Phyllis is about to have her botox put in - it's a key point in her morning arrangements."

next stop
the props room,
The Duchess of Cambridge was shown a range of items that feature in the programme, including handwritten letters, newspapers, china and cutlery. She told prop master Tom Pleydell Pearce: "It's so fantastic, you've got so many objects. There's a lot of attention to detail." Turning to his team, she said: "Well done, everyone."

大道具、小道具ですね。

watched a scene
being filmed for the latest series - Downton's sixth.
In the dimly lit bedroom of Lady Mary Crawley, played by Michelle Dockery, Kate watched the aristocrat and her maid, Anna Bates, played by Joanne Froggatt, film a scene. Standing still and surrounded by crew, she watched as Anna helped her mistress dress for a night out. After they had finished, The Duchess chatted to the actresses and asked them: "Do you get the giggles?" They replied in unison: "Oh yes."

In the servants' hall,
she met Brendan Coyle, who plays Mr Bates, alongside the panel of bells used to call staff on the show. Many interior scenes are filmed in the studios because kitchens and staff quarters at Highclere Castle, where the series is also shot, have been modernised.
The Duchess said: "You can't tell when you are watching that anything is filmed in a studio."

In Mr Carson's study,
actor Jim Carter showed her a cupboard of silverware and joked: "This is it, where we lock up the silver. I don't let anybody in here. Many of the cast were saying they have never been in here." He added that his favourite scenes were filmed there, "particularly when the lights are down and I'm having a glass of sherry with Mrs Hughes". Her Royal Highness replied: "The sets are so much smaller than you imagine - especially when you've got all the crew in here as well."Pointing to a stuffed fish in a glass case known as "Billy the Bass", Lord Fellowes told her: "This is Carson's one moment of pleasure-seeking - it's the only fish he ever caught." Kate laughed and said: "I'll have to keep an eye out for that."

Molesey and Baxter offered to polish Kate's shoes
右のヒト誰だ・・・？ｗ

In the impressive period kitchen set
The Duchess found Mrs Patmore, played by Lesley Nicol and Daisy, played by Sophie McSher who presented her with a Downton chocolate cake and divulged some show secrets. The cast members joked about how a fridge in the corner of the room was just a prop. Ms McShera said: "It's got a really bad smell - it's not real." They also showed The Duchess how some of the cupboards would not open and joked about food props being used again and again, including a lobster.

前日
Hugh Bonneville spoke about his excitement ahead of Kate's visit:

'We’re all very excited. Mrs Patmore is baking a cake and we’re all bringing in sandwiches. It’s going to be a show and tell day.'

During a brief reception
The Duchess of Cambridge met more production staff, as well as staff from Ealing Studios; the oldest continuously working studio for film production in the world, before unveiling a plaque to commemorate her visit. Her Royal Highness received a number of gifts during her visit including a wooden train for her son Prince George and a bound copy of the script from the first episode of series one, signed by the cast.
