‘Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale’: See Pregnant Michelle Dockery, Hugh Bonneville & More at Premiere
The stars were out on Wednesday night (September 3) for the London Leicester Square Odeon premiere of Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, the last instalment of the hit British historical drama, and there were some surprises on hand.
Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary Talbot, turned up to the red carpet gala pregnant! The 43-year-old actress is expecting her first child with husband Jackson Waller-Bridge, the brother of Fleabag creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Dockery stunned in a baby blue gown and matching cape, showing off her baby bump to excited fans.
That wasn’t all, though, as Hugh Bonneville, who portrays Robert Crawley, made a rare appearance with his new girlfriend, vegan influencer Heidi Kadlecov. The couple confirmed their relationship in October 2024, a little over a year since the 61-year-old actor split with his wife of 25 years, Lulu Williams.
The third and final film in the Downton Abbey big screen franchise, based on Julian Fellowes’ PBS period drama, is scheduled to be released in theaters on September 12.
Check out some of the most glamorous photos from the star-studded premiere below.

Best show in town for oh, let\'s see, the last decade and a half. Great on Julian Fellows for evolving this historic drama through the twists and turns of the early 20th century in England and its open horizons with America and the continent. The cast is tops too, and make this saga of Downton Abbey so much a part of our own lives seeing their aging and maturing characters unfold over the years in real time as well as in the virtual linearity of the series. 🌈🌈
