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.
The Castle was the stunning backdrop for Little Lord Fauntleroy, a 1980's film starring Sir Alec Guinness and Ricky Schroder, and one of the main locations for the 2000 movie, The Golden Bowl, starring Kate Beckinsale, James Fox and Uma Thurman.
Its breathtaking exterior was used in 2006 as the location stand-in for ‘Castle Gandolfo’, the Pope’s summer residence overlooking Lake Albano near Rome, where the sinister council meets in The Da Vinci Code.
