​Millions worldwide have seen her home, known as the setting for television's Downton Abbey, but few have met the real mistress of the iconic Highclere Castle. On March 20, Houstonians will have their chance to meet Lady Fiona Carnarvon at Highclere Tea, benefiting Houston Public Media Foundation.

The event will feature a traditional British tea during which Lady Carnarvon will share the true story of Highclere Castle, beginning with its conversion to a hospital in World War I to royal visits and leading ladies.
