HM the Queen was born in April 1926. Does anything think it would be a cool little link between the world of Downton and the world we live in today if in an episode (possibly the final one if the show only runs until season 6/7) Robert is reading the newspaper and says something like 'the Duchess of York had just given birth to a girl and they've named her Elizabeth as well.'Â
Seeing as the present Queen was the first royal grandchild of her generation (her older cousins, George and Gerald Lascelles weren't Princes) so it would have been a sort of significant news item in 1926?
What do you think?
