Rupert took part in the Celebrity Soccer Six Tournament, playing for Team Merlin along with fellow cast members Adetomiwa Edun, Bradley James, Eoin Macken, Tom Hopper and more. Rupert played really well, and subbed Bradley as captain! The team were really generous with their time for the fans. I was well impressed!

MCM Expo, Birmingham (2012)
Three of the Merlin Knights – Rupert Young ♥ (Sir Leon), Tom Hopper (Sir Percival) and Adetomiwa Edun (Sir Elyan) – attended the MCM Expo fan convention in Birmingham on Saturday 31 March. They were available for autographs much of the day, offered photo opportunities, and took part in a short panel. And Julie was lucky enough to be there!
Julie’s Report
I arrived a bit before 11, and the autograph queue was already in full swing. So I queued… Rupert was the first on the table. He was his usual delightful self. I complimented him on his recent turn as Prince Albert in The Charles Dickens Show on BBC2. (I have a bit of a thing for Prince Albert, so this was guaranteed to make me swoon.) Rupert seemed rather relieved when I assured him I hadn’t actually stayed up to watch the original broadcast at 3:30am, but instead caught it on iPlayer. He knew I’d be interested that it was directed by Metin Huseyin, who also directed three episodes of Merlin in 2009.
Memorabilia Show, Birmingham (2010)
Rupert and Angel Coulby attended the Memorabilia Show at Birmingham on 20 November, and were available for autographs for most of the day. Julie went along, too, and thought they were both absolutely lovely – happy and friendly, and unflaggingly charming.
