Kit Harington Loans Funds to Save Rose Leslie's Wardhill Castle Game of Thrones actor Kit Harington has provided a loan to help save his wife Rose Leslie's ancestral Wardhill Castle in Aberdeenshire from liquidation. Game of Thrones star Kit Harington has stepped in with a loan to help save his wife Rose Leslie's ancestral home, Wardhill Castle in Aberdeenshire, after the company behind the estate was ordered into liquidation. The 801-acre property, which has been in Rose's family for more than 500 years and operates as a wedding and luxury holiday venue, has been plagued by financial trouble this year. Documents filed at Companies House reveal that Harington's funding is intended to help the business pay its creditors and seek a 'sist' – or pause – in the liquidation, potentially giving the family precious breathing space as they fight to keep the estate. The couple, who met on the set of the hit HBO fantasy series, held their glamorous, star-studded wedding at Wardhill Castle in June 2018. Guests at the nuptials included co-stars Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner and Emilia Clarke. Fans joked that it was the first successful Game of Thrones wedding, given the show's Red Wedding ended in a massacre. Now, the latest real-life drama is particularly awkward given the Leslie family's history with grand properties. Back in 2018, Rose's father Sebastian, a former Tory councillor, lost possession of another family castle, Lickleyhead, also in Aberdeenshire, after falling behind on mortgage repayments. That 16th-century, eight-bedroom pile is now on the market again, for offers over £1.15 million. Rose's sister-in-law Sarah, who helped organise Rose and Kit's wedding at Wardhill, previously admitted that it is a very expensive property to maintain. Kit Harington and the Leslies refused to comment last night.Wardhill Castle's Financial TroublesWardhill Castle, a sprawling 801-acre estate, has been a cherished family home for over five centuries.
