How to decorate a castle, Carole Annett chats to the Duchess of Rutland

Emma Manners the Duchess of Rutland lives in one of Britain’s most magnificent stately homes, Belvoir Castle. The Duchess chats to Carole about her journey from running around on a Welsh farm as a child to running a 200-room stately home when she married the 11th Duke of Rutland 30 years ago. As a keen decorator, she gives an insight into how she stamped her personality onto the private areas of the house and how looking after fabrics and wallpapers in the State Rooms requires a delicate hand. Belvoir Castle’s stand in as Windsor Castle in the upcoming season 5 of The Crown - The Duchess prefers to keep out of the way during filming, which she describes as ‘a long process’. Her joy is in the gardens - she is so hands-on, she earned the nickname ‘Digger Duchess”. Emma's new book is out now - The Accidental Duchess. Tune in for more
