A chronicle in the life of 18th century aristocrat Georgina, Duchess of Devonshire, an ancestor of Princess Diana who was alternately celebrated and reviled for her extravagant political and personal life. From Goergina's passionate and doomed affair with Earl Grey to the complex menage a trois with her husband and her best friend, Lady Bess Foster, The Duchess is a very contemporary tale of fame, notoriety and the search for love.
