"They married in one of the biggest society weddings of 2011, but I’m sorry to report that Lady Catherine Percy, daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, and her husband Patrick Valentine, are divorcing. 

It was reported that the couple drifted apart just a year after tying the knot at Katie’s family home, Alnwick Castle, which was used as a filming location for Harry Potter and will feature in the new series of Downton Abbey. 

But now friends of the couple say the marriage is well and truly over. ‘Katie and Patrick split a while ago – Katie moved back home while Paddy stayed in London,’ says a source. 

‘She preferred life at Alnwick but that wasn’t the only reason for the split. They wanted to make it work,  of course, but that didn’t happen. It’s sad."
