'There's so much pressure to get married at a certain age'- Clodagh McKenna offers a timely reminder that ‘everybody’s story is different’

Clodagh McKenna attends the Royal Ascot food and drink preview evening at London Underground Cookery School on March 01, 2022.

Having celebrated her 50th birthday in style on 10th May, Clodagh McKenna has spoken out about the pressures people often face when it comes to finding "the one". She met her own husband Harry Herbert, whose family owns Highclere Castle (the real-life Downton Abbey) in 2017 when she was 42 and the couple married four years later at this historic home.

Their romance sounds like something out of a fairytale, and Clodagh has told the Irish Independent how important she thinks it is for people not to feel they have to get married by a specific point in their lives.
