Looks like the cast of Downton Abbey will be adding a touch of royalty to their mix. 

The Queen’s cousin, Flora Ogilvy, is to make her way to the iconic house in the new season according to the Express.

The 18-year-old will be an extra in the upcoming season and has already filmed her scenes with Downton regulars Maggie Smith and Hugh Bonneville.

Flora Ogilvy (pictured, above right) is 45th in line for the throne and is the granddaughter of Princess Alexandra of Kent, who is the Queen’s cousin. 

Downton Abbey’s season four will premiere in the UK in the autumn. Perhaps the Royal Family will be tuning into the show – who knows?
