Description

This is the extraordinary story behind ‘A Very British Scandal’, starring Claire Foy and Paul Bettany. Margaret was debutante of the year, the beautiful fairy-tale heiress immortalised in Cole Porter’s ‘You’re The Tops’ – who ended up penniless and ostracised by her own family. Legal actions coloured her life – her divorce from the Duke of Argyll was one of the longest, costliest and more notorious in British legal history. Her diaries, and photographs of her with a ‘headless’ naked man, were used in evidence. This sparkling biography draws on exclusive interviews with the late Duchess to lift the lid off her past, and her scandalous lifestyle.
