Allen Leech, who plays Tom Branson on the hit PBS show, has told the US TV host Andy Cohen that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge mentioned their feelings about the show on a recent gathering. "He actually said, 'I'm a big fan of the show—only now that my wife's had a baby,'" Leech continued.
In the next series – the most popular on Australian Television, Lady Rose — played by Lily James — is presented by her Aunt Cora (Elizabeth McGovern) during her "coming out" to King George V and Queen Mary at Buckingham Palace.
