The King and Queen are set to pay the estate a visit. We’re also shown that the former head butler Carson shows back up on the scene to lend a helping hand to the estate’s operation. The trailer also hints that a possible romance could be brewing between Branson and Lucy.
Lucy is one of the maids to a new character named Lady Bagshaw. Towards the end of the trailer, King George V and Queen Mary are seen being greeted to the Downton Abbey estate by Cora Crawley. She says, “Your majesties.”
Aside from what we learned in the trailer, actress Joanne Froggatt ,who portrays character Anna Smith, revealed a few plot tidbits for the movie in an interview.
