The Duchess
There were three people in her marriage
He looks like my cup of tea...
Set in the 18th century, this movie looks at an (in)famous ancestor of Lady Diana Spencer. Married off at 16 to a Duke who desperately wanted a son, she found herself trapped in a loveless marriage. While her husband had affairs, she set to work on the politicians. Things heated up when her husband started hitting on her new best friend, and a lover from her teen years re-entered her life.
