Derry Girls actress Nicola Coughlan has shown glimpses inside her childhood home in Galway, Ireland via social media. The Bridgerton star moved back to her family house after an unsuccessful stint in the UK capital of London. The star opened up to Jonathan Van Ness on his podcast, Getting Curious, about the hardships she faced in the capital.

"I had the worst time of my life," she explained. "It sucked so hard. I found it difficult. I was so lonely when I moved. That was one of the killer things for me. I was like 'I don't like it here because I don't know anyone.' I used to let that city, that whole rat race thing get to me."
Similarly to her co-star Phoebe Dynevor's abode, Nicola's home has a vintage feel to it, but hers is also full of features we've seen many a time in the homes of the royal family. Take a look…

Nicola Coughlan's bedroom

It's decorated with white walls, and furnished with more wooden features including her bed and a chest of drawers. Princess Anne's former flat in Westminster was designed in a similar vein, with a wooden bed frame and bedside table, and a fringed bedside lamp.
In a different area of the home, Nicola posed in a doorway, where various plates and trinkets are displayed within the walls and on an exposed bookshelf at the side. Sophie Wessex previously showed off her kitchen with Prince Edward, where they too display plates and vases in the same way.
