Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes star in this historical drama set in late 18th-century England that is based on a true story. Georgiana Spencer (Knightley) was in her teens when her mother (Charlotte Rampling) arranged her marriage to the Duke of Devonshire (Fiennes), and thus she became the Duchess. Her marriage was loveless and her husband took a mistress, but Georgiana became popular with the aristocratic set. She worked for Whig causes and entered into an affair with up-and-coming politician Earl Grey (Dominic Cooper), who has a tea named for him.
