The young aristocrat will get a few stiff upper lips quivering over her romance with a black man.
The character of fun-loving Lady Rose – played by Lily James, 24 – was brought in to spice up the series.
When the award-winning period drama returns to our screens this autumn viewers will meet the newcomer, jazz singer Jack Ross, played by Gary Carr.
He is the first black character on the show and it is rumoured he will have a taboo affair with Lady Rose.
“The plot lines are going to be sensational this time round,” said a show insider.
Their relationship will give the snobby Dowager Countess – played by Dame Maggie Smith – something else to complain about.
Her great niece, who has moved in to Downton, upset relatives in previous series with her flirty behaviour.
