Miriam Margolyes Plans Permanent Move to Italy, Citing Brexit Hurdles
Brexit rules now block her from living long term in the EU without another passport.
Overview
- Miriam Margolyes, who appeared on The Romesh Ranganathan Show, confirmed Saturday she wants to leave the UK to spend her remaining years in Italy with partner Heather Sutherland.
- She said Brexit stops her from living in the home she owns there and that she may seek Dutch or Italian nationality.
- The actor noted she already holds British and Australian passports and asked how many she must hold to live in her own house.
- Margolyes also spoke about her health, recalling a 2023 transcatheter aortic valve replacement and mobility issues that keep mortality on her mind.
- She reiterated that Harry Potter is for children yet acknowledged adults’ nostalgia, as Warner Bros. develops an HBO reboot and Universal expands theme-park attractions while some original stars distance themselves from J.K. Rowling’s views.
