Mainly known to the public as George Clooney’s wife, Amal Clooney is much more. She’s a brilliant lawyer and a special advisor to the International Criminal Court’s prosecutor, Karim Khan, since 2021. The couple, surrounded by glamour and intrigue, have gone to surprising lengths to ensure their safety, including installing a panic room in their UK mansion.
George’s Original Seduction Technique: Enter Einstein
Amal met George in 2013 when she joined a friend at his Lake Como villa. George quickly fell for her and devised a quirky plan to win her over. He wrote her letters, supposedly signed by his dog, Einstein. In these hilarious notes, Einstein claimed to be held hostage and in need of legal aid. This unusual tactic charmed Amal, leading to their marriage in 2014. Three years later, they welcomed twins in a London clinic famously used by the British royal family.
Facing Threats: The Clooney’s Need for a Panic Room
Following their wedding, the couple invested in a mansion in Berkshire, which includes a state-of-the-art panic room. This secure space serves as a safeguard against global conflicts and specific threats aimed at Amal. As a high-profile lawyer targeting the Islamic State for genocide, Amal routinely faces serious threats, including death threats from the terrorist organization. The panic room is a necessity, given the perilous nature of her work.
While the Clooneys also own a picturesque wine estate in Brignoles, France, they’re planning a move. Closer magazine recently revealed the couple is leaving France as George preps for his big Broadway debut. Their sights are now set on finding the perfect New York apartment, marking a new chapter in their exciting lives.
So, there you have it—the glamorous, yet serious reasons behind George and Amal Clooney’s panic room. It’s not just a high-tech refuge but a necessary measure for a couple living under constant public and professional scrutiny.
