I'm enjoying this series too. Love all the glamour, such beautiful decor and outfits. Pure escapism. 😊

Am loving this series. The dresses! The drama! All excellent. Must cost a fortune to make this programme

I always think of it as 'The Gilded Cage'

For fellow watchers - this is a very interesting article about the possibility of Gladys & the Duke's marriage being based on that of Consuelo Vanderbilt and the 9th Duke of Marlborough. It's rumoured that immediately after the wedding, the Duke told Consuelo he had only married her to save his ancestral home, Blenheim Palace.

There also appears to be more than a passing resemblance between Gladys & Consuelo.

Such an interesting period in social history - fascinating stuff.
