The Lady is a gripping four‑part drama that charts the extraordinary rise and fall of Jane Andrews from Buckingham Palace to convicted murderer.
Mia McKenna‑Bruce brings compelling depth to Jane Andrews, a young working-class girl, who to the astonishment of her friends and family, became the then Duchess of York’s dresser at Buckingham Palace.
Moving amongst the highest social circles in Britain, Jane managed to secure a place in the upper-classes, only to lose her job after nine years of service. Still reeling from her fall from grace, Jane went on to meet charismatic businessman Thomas Cressman (Ed Speleers) and fell deeply in love. But soon cracks began to develop in the romance Jane had pinned all her hopes on, with disastrous consequences.
Philip Glenister, Mark Stanley and Laura Aikman also feature in The Lady, which airs this Sunday at 9pm on ITV and available to stream on ITVX.
