It can take 5 minutes to reach the door when the bell is rung
Emma Manners, the Duchess of Rutland, has opened up on her incredible life living at Belvoir Castle, near Grantham, - one of the stunning locations which features in Netflix's hit The Crown, with Season 5 out in November. The Regency Castle stands in for Windsor and has featured in all three series of the worldwide blockbuster charting the ups and downs of the British Royal Family.
Crowning a hill, the Castle’s turrets and towers rise over the Vale of Belvoir on a 10,000-acre estate. It's the ancestral home of the Duke of Rutland, where the family has lived in an unbroken line for almost a thousand years. The Duchess wasn't dreaming of living in a castle. She was thinking she would probably meet a farmer in Herefordshire and be a farmer's wife, so her life now "is unexpected and accidental".
She says: "I did meet Catherine Zeta-Jones many years ago when I first became a Duchess. Lots of famous people have been here filming, because, as I say, I try to keep my head down and out of the way.
