Theatrical report
Well, the parallels between Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire and Diana, Princess of Wales are astounding. Low-level gentry plucked from obscurity by an uncaring, older nobleman for a loveless but procreative marriage becomes fashion icon, gossip magnet and independent woman of the day, rising above husband's infidelity only to have to sell her soul for the sake of her children. If you're a royal-watcher then you'll love The duchess. If you're an Austen-fiend then you'll love The duchess. If you like a bit of costume and manners with your drama then you'll love The duchess.
The drama, history, UK movie The duchess is directed by Saul Dibb and stars Keira Knightley, Ralph Fiennes, Charlotte Rampling.
