This storyline and the most recent movie makes me wish we could see a show about Violet when she was younger.
"I will never again receive an immoral proposition from a man."
"Was I so wrong to savor it?!?"
"That's all the answer you'll get."
“We were the Edwardians.” She hinted that she did have another affair. Obviously, the Russian wedding was during the Victorian era (1874, by my research), but I wonder if she was saying that her last affair was during the Edwardian period?
'It's how it must be', such a sad statement in my life too!
"Men notice nothing!"
Hey, I'm a man, and I resemble that remark! 😂
This was a wonderful storyline, and I can't help but half-wish Violet had taken the Prince up on his offer. Maggie Smith is superb, as always.
Magnificent performance by Jane Lapotaire.
Demonstrates quite an amount of self reflection to do such an act. That's what i admire about Violet Crawley
Did anyone else feel uncomfortable with this storyline? Rather than try to find his wife, the Prince wanted to run off yet again with someone he hadn't seen in 50 years and take her away from her entire family. She had already moved on and had people who loved and needed her.
Fun fun, fun to watch live, haven't done that in, YEARS! Not since, 2010! Fact. Love you, all, and, Miss You, "Downton Abbey," Cast, and, Formal Titles. -Brittney Lee Hill Collier, Friday, Febuary, 16th, 2024. 5:13 p.m.
How I envy anyone watching DA for the first time. Enjoy every minute!!
Maggie Smith's story telling abilities are unmatched. I wonder if she's done audiobooks
Admittedly, I watched sporadically and mostly for Maggie Smith (and a couple of the staff), but would it have been so terribly hard to have (in the films) to have the Princess either pass away or divorce the Prince of her own will, and thus allow Lady Granthem and the Prince to have gotten to spend the final years of their lives together?
I let this movie pass when iin the cinema, fearing that after the previous movie the Downton formula would have gone a bit stale and worn.
looks I was wrong.
How delightful. This is just what ladies of senior years need ! The more, the merrier.,! 🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀❤️❤️❤️
After a new era,,,i believe they're preparing the wedding of grand duchess maria for us to watch
People like Rostov are the exact reason why the revolution was bound to happen. Hope? What hope did the peasants have in what basically was a feudal system that lasted until the XX century?
No not at all. Definitely after we met her. 😊 Short lived infatuation can make you do unwise things.
Absolutely loved everything about this story line. Violet has the appearance of a stodgy, cold, old, Victorian lady, but this story (along with others in the show) show that she actually loves passionately but discreetly.
And I love the last few seconds of the video with Robert that make it clear that just because she chose her less passionate marriage with old Lord Grantham doesn't mean she lived a joyless, loveless existence.
I so hope there is a spin-off into Lady Violet Crawley's life.
Creators of Downton Abbey… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, MAKE ONE!!!😢❤
Yes please! Please do a prequel!
Love is love always no matter circumstances
I always wished she'd given in to him…to be together w/someone who loved her so deeply…and who still had her secret heart…
The idea of Violet genuinely trying to elope with the Prince is incredible…..until you realise that she was also choosing to abandon Robert and Rosamund, which is…….yikes
"I will never again recieve an immoral proposition from a man."
"You don't know that"
"But I do MrS cRawley!"
I would think the prince wanted to be taken away by violet from his gloomy room to violet's comfortable dowager house
