Rose Leslie says she and husband Kit Harington 'do not feel famous at all'
Game Of Thrones actress Rose Leslie has said she and husband Kit Harington do not feel famous "at all". The 38-year-old Scottish actress played Ygritte in the fantasy HBO series, with Harington as her primary love interest, Jon Snow. "I don't mean to be insincere at all, but I don't think we are in the spotlight," she told Tatler magazine. "It's not something that we independently or together chase. We are fortunate whereby if there are projects we do that galvanise attention then that's amazing – but I don't think we feel famous at all." Leslie and Harrington, who live in Suffolk, married in 2018 and have two children. The actress said Suffolk "is really our base now."

Guests at the wedding included Game Of Thrones s tars Peter Dinklage, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner and Emilia Clarke. "God, I felt so elated that day," Leslie said. "It was the culmination of being married to the love of my life, in the home that I was incredibly happy in, bringing all my friends to Scotland – and the joy of that day was just fantastic." Leslie, who is also known for her roles in Death On The Nile and Downton Abbey, will star in an adaptation of William Somerset Maugham's play The Constant Wife at the Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon from June.

King and Queen's portrait graces Tatler cover after much-criticised Kate picture
Former royal tour artist Phillip Butah, who was personally selected by Charles to join him on his state visit to Kenya in 2023, based his work on a photograph of the couple taken by Millie Pilkington last year. But the artwork has already come under scrutiny on social media with one person remarking: 'Doesn't look like Charles' and another suggesting the King's eyes were more similar to those of former US president Joe Biden. 'Queen Camilla looks brilliant – but the eyes on the king look like Biden .. it is not a good resemblance of King Charles,' they said. It follows the widely criticised portrait of the Princess of Wales which appeared as Tatler's front cover last year. The canvas by artist Hannah Uzor was branded 'dreadful' and a 'parody' by royal fans and art critics. As Tatler commissions Hannah Uzor's graceful depiction of the Princess of Wales for its July 2024 cover, we look back at the history of the Princess of Wales in portraiture — Tatler (@Tatlermagazine) May 22, 2024 Butah said he believed it was a royal first for the royal couple to be painted together for a magazine cover. The image, in the society bible's June edition, celebrates the King and Queen's 20th wedding anniversary, which they marked this month. Butah said: 'I think it is wonderful and I love the fact that a top glossy magazine commissions an artist to make a cover, because art and fashion do belong together.' He added: 'I have chosen a summery green for the background because they are walking together in a garden, and this is an informal portrait, not a state portrait. 'I think it will be a first; I have never seen the royal couple painted together on the cover of a magazine, and I just want people to enjoy it and see it as a celebration of our King and Queen.' Butah said of joining Charles and Camilla on their official visit to Kenya: 'They are one of the most famous couples of our time, so it was fascinating for me to see the personal side of their relationship. 'It is so strong and they are a great team.' The artist first met Charles at the age of 16 when he won the Young Artists' Britain: The Prince of Wales's Young Artists' Award competition in 1998. Celebrities he has drawn include actor Ashley Walters and former Olympic sprinter Linford Christie. The full feature is available in the June issue of Tatler via digital download and on newsstands from May 1.
