I’ve only just seen it now, but did you know that Glin Castle has an Instagram account? It’s pretty amazing. If you find it relaxing to look the well-decorated interiors and well-maintained exteriors of castles and grand old properties, you should definitely check it out. Glin Castle is the ancestral home of Catherine FitzGerald, who is descended from Irish aristocrats. She’s also married to Dominic West, the actor who very publicly cheated on her with Lily James last year. After a few bizarre photo-ops together, Catherine did what most aristocrats would do: retire to her ancestral castle and pull up the drawbridge. It doesn’t seem like Catherine is going to leave Dominic whatsoever. But she is trying to get him to move full-time to Glin Castle.
Dominic West’s wife Catherine FitzGerald has revealed she is trying to convince the actor to move to her family seat in Ireland months after their marriage was rocked by scandal. Speaking in the March issue of Tatler, Catherine, 49, said she would like to live full-time at Glin Castle, which sits on a 400-acre estate in Co Limerick. The castle has been in Catherine’s family for 700 years and has famously played host to Taylor Swift, Sir Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull.
‘I can’t persuade Dominic to move there altogether yet, but I’m working on it,’ Catherine told the magazine.
Catherine and Dominic – who made headlines last year when he was seen kissing co-star Lily James, 31, in Rome – also have a home in Chippenham, Wiltshire.
The landscape gardener is the eldest child of Desmond FitzGerald, the 29th Knight of Glin, who died in 2011 with no son to inherit his title.
‘The title can skip a generation and my son [Senan, 12] could be the next Knight of Glin,’ Catherine explained. ‘But he’s just mad into football.’
So Catherine wants her son to have the Knight of Glin title. I suspect she’ll get what she wants, on all accounts. Maybe that will be the trade-off with Dominic too: she won’t divorce him, but they have to move full-time to Ireland. Where it would arguably be harder for him to gallivant and cavort with pretty young actresses. The thing is, Dominic would probably just start banging Irish lasses, right? He’ll always find a side-chick. Catherine should just leave him and raise the kids in Ireland and tell him to f–k all the way off.
