The Lady (2026) BritBox

Anyone catch “The Lady” on BritBox? It’s about a young woman from “up North”

who becomes a dresser for Sarah Duchess of York and shenanigans ensue. Based on a true story but not one I was familiar with.

I’m two episodes in and the lead actor is excellent and nice to see Natalie Dormer owning the small screen as Sarah. It’s truly a character study of a pretty unfortunate person so it can be a challenging watch to “go there” with her.

As an 80s girlie I do appreciate the soundtrack but would have liked some more obscure needle drops!
