Lady Carnarvon's Official Podcast

By: Atlantic Garden Media
  • Summary

  • My husband, the 8th Earl of Carnarvon, and I have the enormous privilege and pleasure of living in, and taking care of, my husband’s family home, Highclere Castle, which is better known to many people as the setting for the popular television programme “Downton Abbey”. Thanks to this series, our home has, over the last few years, become one of the most well-known and iconic houses in the world. My Podcast is my way of trying to share the stories and heritage of this wonderful building and estate, and all the people and animals that live and work here, so that you can get to know and love it as I do.

    My guest this month is a trusted and familiar broadcaster on all things medical.
    Best known for his regular TV appearances he's also no stranger to writing. But until recently his books have been strictly non-fiction. Now he's branched out into story-telling with his WWI novel, Frontline, published in September 2021. I hope you'll enjoy my conversation with him.

An absolutely joy from start to finish...

Love, love, love this podcast! Lady Carnarvon narrates with such an enthusiasm and passion for her home, with her bubbly nature at the core and a never ending knowledge of all things Highclere, you can imagine you are there. She is a walking encyclopedia. For anyone still decrying the "luck" of the owners of such great homes, I would challenge them to have the energy that is needed from dawn until dusk to do all that is necessary to keep them up and running and to move with the times to bring new ideas to generate the huge income necessary. Lord and Lady Carnarvon and their team, incredibly, do just that. I wonder if they sleep! So many great guests and wonderful to listen to many of their long standing team, or should I say family, take us back to the golden days with their memories and to hear stories of life on the Estate in the early 1900's and the characters that could only be from that era. I have enjoyed the most pleasurable lengthy dog walks this week while binge listening every episode and garnering several odd looks when laughing out loud. I cannot wait for the next installment.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
