Robert Has Questions Over his Father | Downton Abbey: New Era | Movie Clip

[@krissp8712]

"Don't be silly, you don't even like garlic" is a line that sticks with me.

[@dereklwashington1132]

That was such a great line!

[@SharonDelaneyosen]

Maqgie Smith was absolutely brilliant as Violet. I know she had a long career and was in so many other things. I liked her in Sister Act but for me she was best in Downton Abby. Loved her sense of humour & her wit. Maggie will be sorely missed. RIP Maggie.❤❤

[@VAOdin]

Omg I completely forgot that she was the Mother Superior in Sister Act!!!!

[@xr6lad]

Have you ever seen her in California Suite. A movie that has several little stories sewn together all set in the Beverley Hills Hotel. Her and Michael Caine are in it in a story together (as are Alan Alda and Jane Fonda in another story). She is great in that as a British actress flown out to appear at the Academy Awards.

[@m.layfette6249]

"I'll do my Best to see he values you." I have admired their friendship from the very beginning. 💜

[@bhinoyj]

Maggie Smith uses her breaths to such emphasis it just sucks you into her lines. Intrigue despair wit all happen in a single line with the way she changes her breaths. RIP you legend

[@ctheflower7818]

Adore, ADORE, ADORE Downton Abbey and it's Priceless Cast... always !!!!

[@krissp8712]

I would love to see a young Violet Crawley prequel movie, if only such a thing were possible!

[@aperez647]

Oh hell yeah. But I prefer a series around Violet.

[@SharonDelaneyosen]

Yes me too.

[@silverhills5684]

Now I understand where Mary gets her love tendencies.

[@stefaniepoetting1255]

This series and additional movies are so great I can`t say how much I love those. The Cast, Tha script, the HousesSOOO briliant! Just Awesome.

[@Xk8rsx]

I mean…a Russian Prince…a French marquis. Violet had some fun.

[@mavisrosemond7346]

She sure did

[@MandieTerrier]

Granny had a past, said in Lady Mary's voice

[@SharonDelaneyosen]

@@Xk8rsx It certainly was eventful.

[@cfrygirl]

PLEASE give us a series on the Dowager Countess' life!!!!!! it would be an instant hit!!!!

[@DamnDemi]

RIP Maggie Smith.

[@mrgreene3290]

Love the image of Violet (Maggie Smith) as a young woman; Maggie was quite the beautiful lady when young and remained beautiful in mind, spirit and her acting powess.

[@lineaalba4035]

What’s that old saying “momma’s baby, papa’s maybe”

[@tarawrr20]

I so very much want a Violet prequel!!!

[@m.layfette6249]

For those playing the long game... This is from the movie Downton Abbey a New Era. It splits our characters between England and France. At the beginning of the movie, we are attending the wedding of Tom Branson and Lucy Smith. (Who can forget their sunset Waltz on the balcony. 💕) Upon return the family learns that the Dowager Countess has inherited a Villa in the South of France and has bequeathed it to her great granddaughter Sybiee, Lady Sybil's only daughter. Soon after, Robert receives an invitation to visit the villa, so off he, Cora, Edith, Bertie, Tom, Lucy, Carson, Baxter and Bates set sail for the Rivera. Styled in Mediterranean looks, sailor's hats, swimsuits and tennis skirts. (Swooning over the late 1920s fashion. 💜👙👒👗) Anyway, the mystery begins to unravel and Lord Grantham believes he is Not his father's biological son. Of course all this is dismissed by the Dowager Countess. Yet it leaves calculating dates and numbers. "Curiouser and curiouser."

[@Melanie-z1o]

Thanks!! I haven't had chance to see the film yet

[@m.layfette6249]

@Melanie-z1o Both Downton Abbey movies are worth Binge watching.. 💜

[@seasonsstarsstudios]

That’s what Dame Maggie Smith looked like when she was young, like how she looked in the original Clash of the Titans by Harryhausen. Very good attention to detail - and this is why Downton Abbey is so adored as a franchise. It’s all superb writing.

[@盧璘壽로인수]

I wouldn't be surprised if the Granthams were part of the delegation of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh when he took part in the Orthodox wedding ceremonies to the Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna Romanova, hence how she got to know the Prince Kuragin

[@harringt100]

Yes, that's explained in Season 5 of the show.

[@hanni5862]

I know I have daddy issues but I love the look of lord Grantham 😂❤

[@stephenwinter8892]

Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 thanks for the presentation about downton abbey and seeing Maggie Smith even though she's no longer here

[@darthdracul8372]

Well at least she was able to end her character on her terms just as much as the managers and the others and despite the popularity I’m sure she was honoured to meet such glorious actors and actresses and a lot of them are grateful to her as well just as much as utters were outside of the Abbey.

[@mm-yt8sf]

i suppose only carson would have recognized a young violet in the picture...oh well, i suppose robert would too 🙂

[@drunkpekka4284]

Edith's style ❤

[@krissp8712]

Yesss, truly Édith's era!

[@Vanadisir]

I recently saw a documentary on the keeping of the castle, it was filmed in the late 80s or early 90s. Great to see the real faces, and the realistic struggle they had keeping such a treasure above the red line. But, all I could think the whole time I was watching was: "Who are these strangers in the Crawley's house?!" I hope the show has brought prosperity to the team in charge of the castle now.

[@ericascott9645]

Everyone has a story to tell.

[@silverhills5684]

Since she knows she is dying and wants to be remembered as virtuous, I believe the Dowager tells a lie that ensures her legacy as virtuous and puts to rest Lord Robert Grantham's angst about his birth legitimacy to ensure a virtuous legacy for Robert. I do think Violet and the French Marquess had a passionate affair. Everything in Violet's World is about dignity and righteousness, about being above scandal, therefore, she had to lie to shield her progeny and herself above gossip, the one thing the Gentry fear the most. I also think she and her Russian Prince had an affair also, because she said she was in the process of elopping with him when his Russian whatever she was stopped Violet from going through with it. I doubt if they were elopping without making sure they could satisfy each other in the bedroom, as was Mary's quest with her beaus prior to agreeing to marry. I think The Dowager was keen on virtue regarding her granddaughters since she knew from her own dalliances how they could lead to possible ruinous repercussions, to not just her, but also to the entire family and to the family name.

[@ulefab7503]

I haven’t seen the movie apart from short clips but this plot is reallyyyyy far fetch to not say ridiculous even if I’m sure it’s good too watch with those fantastics actors

[@anayadegani626]

Now I cant help but feel bad for his wife. Ive not seen the entire movie but his poor wife having to see her husband love a woman he met years ago and is flaunting his previous love to his wife forcing her to lice of the shadow of Violet

[@DowntonAbbey_fan]

Hey! I’m sure you’ve heard this a bunch on loads of other videos but I would love it if you could post more clips of the show that you haven’t posted already without overlapping? I’d appreciate it as I make a lot of fan edits of the show and it’s a struggle to find the clips I want as not many post clips from the show that are good quality I enjoy this account and I say this with no hate :)

[@dereklwashington1132]

In that English way...

[@mm-yt8sf]

hmm never let a new bride travel...even if it's with you the new husband to russia 😀

[@Myrathosghost]

I wont lie...I hate the way his wife is brushing off how he feels :/ just being like "Well your father loved you so knock it off"...WHO CARES?! CAUSE HE MIGHT NOT BE HIS FATHER!!! WHAT DOES LOVE HAVE TO DO WITH IT?!

[@Xerxes2005]

Edith is wrong. It would have changed a great deal if Robert had been known to be illegitimate. He would have never inherited Downton Abbey in the first place, and therefore never married Cora. And it's not Matthew's father who would have been the heir, but cousin James.

[@haziqiman5576]

Didn't James died in the titanic?

[@Holidaygal]

Actually in England as his father accepted him as his son and Robert was born during their marriage he would be legally his father’s son and able to inherit Downton Abbey.

[@Xerxes2005]

@@Holidaygal In the 19th century?

[@martinjenkins6467]

Thank goodness Robert is his father's child. I've known a neighbour when I was a child Who there were rumours of who his father Was. These were decent middle class people not some feral you would expect These days.

[@juliaforsyth8332]

Plenty of non-ferals had "mistakes". A bit of a holier-than-though attitude.
