The Duchess of Sussex might have found fame in Suits – but she is by no means the only famous actress within the British royal family.
Sophie Winkleman – wife of Lord Frederick Windsor – has added another string to her bow with the news that she has been cast in the upcoming second season of Belgravia.
Sophie will take on the “pivotal” role of aristocrat Lady Rochester in Julian Fellowes’s period drama.
Commenting on Sophie’s potential involvement in the series, Julian – who also created Downton Abbey – said: “I think we’re very lucky. I have worked with Sophie before, on my version of the Titanic story, and I am a fan, but these choices are made by a group, led by our director, John Alexander.”
The first series of Belgravia starred a host of famous faces, including Philip Glenister, Tamsin Greig, Alice Eve, and Richard Goulding.
Sophie meanwhile has a host of acting credits to her name, from playing Big Suze in Peep Show, to Agatha Christie’s Poirot, Death In Paradise, CSI Miami and Waking the Dead.
