Apparently both Amanda Foreman and Kiera Knightly are just as upset at the confusing Diana references in the trailer as we were! The author says it's a "bad joke" The Telegraph, The TimesThe lucky author of this article already saw the flick and promises both a hot-mess drunken scene from our duchess of partying (yay!) and...a spoiler I just deleted so you can read it for yourself. Not historically accurate per se, but enticing?. The Scotsman
Amanda Foreman found Georgiana to be a great mascot of twenty-something ladies when she was a twenty-something writing the book; but if she was writing the book now she says she would go the direction the film takes. Aww, but I love that version of her Grace! The Times
Georgiana and Bess burping at the dinner table? MTV UK
Let's hear from the director. The Independent
*UPDATE*
The Duchess.co.uk added new videos on the story, locations and costumes. Complete with lots of movie clips and interviews.
I made a trip out to Chatsworth yesterday and they had a section that featured all things Georgiana. I thought you might be interested in my pictures: http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2006475&l=4f1a9&id=106800134
ReplyDeleteOh I am pea-green with envy!! Thank you, thank you so much for sharing! I visited Chatsworth after the release of P & P and they had one of Kiera's dresses on display and I could not get over how minuscule her dress was either.
ReplyDeleteDo you mind if I link to your album in a future post?
I don't mind at all! I'm just sorry that they didn't come out better. I didn't want to use flash and disturb the other people, especially as I was snapping photo's of everything! i think in the end I have six or seven albums on facebook. Chatsworth is my favourite tourist place in the UK!
