"Guest of Honour" is the fifth episode of the second series of the British television series, Upstairs, Downstairs. The episode is set in 1909.
Early in 1909, the Bellamys host a dinner, attended by King Edward VII. The servant Sarah, who is heavily pregnant by James Bellamy, has been sent to Lady Marjorie's family estate at Southwold to be out of the way, but finds it too boring and returns to Eaton Place, turning up on the evening the king is dining upstairs. Sarah goes into labour and gives birth to a boy the same evening, but the baby dies minutes after birth.[1]
