The Knightsof Guy Ritchie, It is not only a story of gangsters and criminals, but it is also a series about the British aristocracy, the privilege and power that is inherited from generation to generation.
Eddie Hornimanninterpreted by Theo James, ends up inheriting the enormous family fortune, but the jewel in the crown is the mansion in which he grew up and that his father left him along with a title of duke. Originally, Eddie was planning to sell the mansion and that catches the attention of a buyer (who we see interacting with Eddie in another real location, called The Reform Club) who understands that such a house is also a powerful message, but things change and he is forced to stay with it, and that is part of what causes all his problems.
The house is also a protagonist in the series, it is the object of enmity between Eddie and his brother Freddy (Daniel Ingswho we see in a chicken suit), but he is also the symbol of his family’s privilege and everything that is wrong with the system, especially when we discover that behind that mansion lies a lucrative drug business, which was started by Eddie’s father.
The mansion is just one of the incredible locations in The Gentlemen series, and the most interesting thing is that it is completely real.
Badminton Estate and Halstead, the real Hornimann mansion
The Hornimann family home in The Knights was not built on a television set, it is actually the Halstead mansion, which is located in Badminton Estate, which was used to film both exterior and interior scenes in the series.
“Badminton Estate It has been the home of the Dukes of Beaufort since 1682, each of whom made improvements to the house and gardens involving some of the most prominent architects and landscapers of the time, including William Kent, James Gibbs, Charles Bridgeman and ” Capability” Brown,” the site says.
