‘House of Guinness’ History Lesson: What Happened to Arthur Guinness & Olivia in Real Life?

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for House of Guinness Season 1.]

Like his siblings, Arthur (Anthony Boyle) has quite the tumultuous love life in House of Guinness. Things may have been looking up for Guinness heir by the end of Season 1 (at least before there was an attempt on his life), but that’s firmly not the case when it comes to his romantic pursuits.

Arthur, as we come to discover quickly in the show, likes men. Given the time period, not only would Arthur have been imprisoned if his sexuality had been publicized, but the brewery business would have been ruined, too.
