Is Maggie Smith Leaving 'Downton Abbey?'

On Thursday, NBC News announced that Kate Middleton appeared on the set of the British drama where most of the stars happened to be. She visited the downstairs part of the show where the site posted some random snapshots of Prince Harry's wife.

Some may have been skeptical if Middleton was actually planning to make a guest appearance on the series or not. It doesn't appear that she'll be acting in the series, but if she made a visit, then perhaps she might be open to guest starring in the future.

Is There Going To Be A 'Downton Abbey' Christmas Special This Year?

Hugh Bonneville (Robert Crawley) revealed a few details on what's to come for the sixth year of the series when he arrived at the TRIC Awards in London.

"We're in 1925, so the series has nudged on another six months, and Lady Rose has been on her honeymoon and she's now moved to America," the actor said, posted on Digital Spy.

"Tom Branson has gone to Boston, and some faces that we met towards the end of the fifth season may or may not be coming over the horizon to break or make the hearts of Lady Mary and Lady Edith and people like that," he added.

Bonneville also confirmed that there will be a Christmas special at the end of the year.
