The creators of the show are apparently unhappy because PBS did not get clearance to do so.
Producers Carnival were forced to call in lawyers to stop the Public Broadcasting Service, the US network that airs Downton Abbey, from naming jewelry after the show’s most famous character, Lady Mary Crawley. PBS is being asked to pull the items.
According to the Daily Telegraph, PBS is continuing to sell the jewelry as part of its Downton Abbey collection, but has now agreed to remove direct references to Lady Mary and other characters from the show – and all mentions of Downton characters have now been deleted from the website.
There are articles in the Daily Mail and the Telegraph.
