The Duchess and Her Magical Kingdom: A Whimsical Adventure Awaits
Premiering on February 15, 2025 in the US, The Duchess and Her Magical Kingdom is set to enchant viewers exclusively on Prime Video at no extra cost for Prime members. This engaging docuseries will take you behind the scenes of an extraordinary project, spearheaded by the Duchess of Northumberland, to create a whimsical wonderland in The Alnwick Garden, located near her family estate, Alnwick Castle. This enchanting garden is not just any garden; it hosts the largest inhabited castle in England and boasts numerous unique attractions, including one of the biggest treehouses and a fascinating Poison Garden.
The Duchess’s passion for innovation is evident as she carefully curates this magical realm. Having opened The Alnwick Garden over 25 years ago, she has established an acclaimed tourist destination, and now she aims to build something even more fantastical. Lilidorei—a fictional village filled with fairies, goblins, and other magical creatures—has her heart and mind devoted to its creation. This huge multi-million-pound project seeks to inspire children to enjoy imaginative play, exploring nature without the distractions of technology.
The docuseries provides exclusive insight into the development process, showcasing the challenges faced during construction. The Duchess recounts, “Explaining to the construction team how a fairy might behave was almost impossible.” These insights allow viewers to appreciate the fragility of the creative process, especially when trying to weave magic into reality.
Filmed with unparalleled access to Alnwick Castle, the series follows the Duchess’s endeavors, as well as the balance she must strike between her royal obligations and personal commitments—an aspect that will resonate with many viewers. As Dom Bird, SVP of International Alternative at MGM Television puts it, “This series promises to be a real treat for Prime Video members, as we see behind the velvet rope at her home.” The series is not just about creation; it also highlights the cultural richness of Northumberland, showcasing its historical castles and breathtaking landscapes.
Since the docuseries aired in the UK, plans are already underway to expand the Lilidorei brand, with discussions surrounding the establishment of more attractions both domestically and internationally. With the anticipation that accompanies its upcoming release, fans are eager to dive into this magical journey.
