In the happy snapshot, the couple seemed a world away from the drama that followed them after Dominic’s romantic getaway to Italy with his co-star Lily James.

They confirmed during a red carpet appearance for series five of The Crown in November that their relationship was back on track after two years of uncertainty as they posed with their family at the event.

Leaning in for a prolonged red carpet kiss with his wife, the actor’s notorious Roman vacation with Lily and his timid return to the family home seemed forgotten.

Dominic shocked viewers when he was photographed passionately kissing actress Lily James during a romantic getaway in Rome amid the pandemic in 2020, shortly after international travel restrictions were lifted.

The couple didn’t seem to care who saw them as they cuddled up and shared a scooter ride while taking in the sights throughout the day.

The actor was still married to Catherine and no separation had been publicly announced, but he was not wearing his wedding ring.

Months after the Rome scandal, Catherine revealed that she was trying to convince the embattled actor to move into his family’s seat in Ireland.

The castle has been in Catherine’s family for 700 years and has played host to Taylor Swift, Sir Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull.

“I still can’t persuade Dominic to completely change them, but I’m working on it,” he told the magazine.

The landscape gardener is the eldest son of Desmond FitzGerald, the 29th Knight of Glin, who died in 2011 without any children to inherit his title.

‘The title can skip a generation and my son [Senan] could be the next Knight of Glin’, FitzGerald explained. “But he is crazy about football.”
