'Downton Abbey' Cast Puts Water Bottles to Good Use

Instagram

The cast is taking a new water bottle photo for a good cause.

On Friday, Downton Abbey had a plastic water bottle stand out in their publicity picture for their fifth season.

Lord Grantham and Lady Edith had the bottle behind them, and it created an embarrassing image. The picture has since been removed.

With this shot, the caption reads, "To support @WaterAid text WATER to 70007 to donate £3 #WH2Oops and go to bit.ly/wH2oopsDA."

On the WaterAid link that Michelle shares, the Chief Executive of WaterAid thanks the cast and producers, saying, "It brought a really big smile to my face when the cast of Downton Abbey said that they wanted to support WaterAid's work. How fantastic that the attention created over one water bottle ends up benefiting some of the world’s poorest communities through access to safe, clean water today."
