The 39-year-old actress attended the opening of the new exhibition Imaginary Conversations: An ERDEM Collection Inspired by Duchess Deborah, and she was captured posing with her musician husband in the rare public appearance. The event, which took place on June 19, was hosted at Derbyshire’s Chatsworth House. The stately home likely holds a special place in the onscreen leading lady’s heart, as it served as one of the locations for her 2005 film Pride and Prejudice.

When she spoke about the false impression people might have about her being haughty or posh, the English actress said she doesn’t mind it and likes keeping things private.

The English actress is known for keeping her personal life fiercely private and doesn’t mind if people think she is post or haughty

  A post shared by Leith Clark (@leithclark) “No, I think that’s fine…” she told Harper’s Bazaar all the way back in 2013. “I like being private. I haven’t asked a lot of the actresses who I really admire, ‘How do you do it?’ because I don’t want to know. Maybe I’m childish in that way; I just don’t want to know about your life,” she continued. Having tasted fame at the age of 17, she revealed in another interview with Harper’s Bazaar in 2023 that she knew for a long time about the expectations upon her.

“There’s a funny place where women are meant to sit, publicly, and I never felt comfortable with that. It was a big jolt,” the Pride and Prejudice actress once said

It was a big jolt.” When asked about whether she worries about ageism, she replied, “Change is always tricky. We’re taught that it’s bad. We’re taught that we don’t want grey hair.” Mentioning Helen Mirren as a “terribly good” example, she continued, “She ages in the most sensational manner. She’s fabulous in every way. You look at her and think, ‘God, you’re having so much fun. You’re enjoying life so much.’” Share icon Share icon Share icon Share icon Share icon Share icon Share icon Anyone can write on Bored Panda. Start writing! Follow Bored Panda on Google News!
