Alamuddin loves the hit PBS show, the _Daily Mail_ reports, and Clooney helped get the hook-up from _Downton_‘s very own Hugh Bonneville (a.k.a Lord Robert Crawley), with whom he starred in this year’s _The Monuments Men_. The couple reportedly plans to marry in September, around the time of their one-year anniversary. Highclere Castle’s location in the English countryside is convenient for the couple: Alamuddin works in London and has family nearby, while the 1,000-acre property offers some security and seclusion for an A-lister like Clooney. No word yet on whether Dame Maggie Smith will be on hand to deliver withering put-downs to unseemly guests. \[[_Daily Mail_](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/usshowbiz/article-2639781/A-Downton-Abbey-wedding-George-Clooney-Amal-Alamuddin-Plans-underway-rent-castle-fit-king-Hollywood.html "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/120553/george-clooney-downton-abbey-wedding/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/120553/george-clooney-downton-abbey-wedding/"},"headline":"George Clooney Might Get Married in Downton Abbey","datePublished":"2014-05-27T20:31:58.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T08:04:07.795Z","description":"Take that, Kim and Kanye","url":"https://time.com/120553/george-clooney-downton-abbey-wedding/","keywords":["celebrities","George Clooney"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt782ab09d0225b4bc/698690fb35ba6f03d7c0226e/492909521.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt782ab09d0225b4bc/698690fb35ba6f03d7c0226e/492909521.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Omega Le Jardin Secret Dinner Party","caption":"Omega Le Jardin Secret Dinner Party","creditText":"ChinaFotoPress/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/120553/george-clooney-downton-abbey-wedding/","name":"George Clooney Might Get Married in Downton Abbey"}}]}] ```
