The Duchess is a 2008 British drama film directed by Saul Dibb. It is based on Amanda Foreman's biography of the 18th-century English aristocrat Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire. It was released in September 2008 in the UK.
Set in the late 18th century, the story follows the life of Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire. Well known for her beauty and fashion sense, she is also remembered for her extravagance and gambling habits. Despite the blatant infidelities of her husband, the cold and much older William Cavendish, the 5th Duke of Devonshire, Georgiana thrives, becoming a fashion icon, a doting mother, a shrewd political operator, and darling of the common people. In befriending Lady Bess Foster, Georgiana is crushed when Bess and The Duke begin an affair. Despite Georgiana's anger, the Duke wants Bess to remain living with them. Bess later explains to Georgiana that the reason she began the affair with the Duke was so that she could get her children back. The Duke wants a male heir, which the Duchess has not yet provided. The idea is that Bess can, since she already has three sons, of whom the Duke is very fond, treating them as if they were his own.

Beautiful, glamorous and adored by the public, Georgiana was the most fascinating woman of the age. But while her beauty and charisma made her name, her extravagant tastes and appetite for gambling and love made her infamous. Married young to the cool and distant Duke of Devonshire, intimate of ministers and princes, Georgiana was a fashion icon, a doting mother and a shrewd political operator. But at the core of her story is a desperate search for warmth and love. From her passionate and doomed affair with Earl Grey to her complex ménage à 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. The Duchess, starring Keira Knightley and Ralph Fiennes, will be released in UK cinemas on 5th Septem...
