We bow down to Claire Foy‘s latest regal role.
On Monday, Oct. 25, the Crown alum made her debut as Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyll, in the first photos for season two of anthology biopic series A Very British Scandal. Fans of Foy’s portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II should prepare themselves: Her role in A Very British Scandal will likely have you clutching your pearls.
For those unfamiliar with the infamous divorce case at the center of the series, the British duchess’ split from her nobleman husband (played by Paul Bettany) was one of the most brutal and highly publicized breakups of the 20th century. “Famed for her charisma, beauty, and style,” the upcoming season’s log line teases, “Margaret, Duchess of Argyll, dominated the front pages as the divorce exposed accusations of forgery, theft, violence, drug-taking, bribery, and an explicit Polaroid picture that was to haunt her for the rest of her life.
Once more, Foy has transformed into an iconic historical figure, meaning there is plenty of luxurious fashion to enjoy.
