CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Georgiana (Keira Knightley) fails to bear a male heir to her husband, The Duke (Ralph Fiennes).

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director Saul Dibb takes the helm for this period drama adapted from Amanda Foreman's best-selling novel Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, documenting the romantic entanglements of Georgiana Cavendish (Keira Knightley), a beautiful and clever woman who becomes a celebrity of British high society when she marries the Duke of Devonshire (Ralph Fiennes) and becomes consort to one of the most powerful men in England. Beloved for her trend-setting fashion designs as well as her political activism, Georgiana's fire and wit make her a beloved figure everywhere but her own home, where her cold and distant husband's control over her is stifling, soon sending her into the arms of a another man -- an act that soon forces her to learn about the brutal difference in the rights afforded to 18th century men and women.

HIT US UP:

Of course they blamed the women because they didnt know about chromosomes. But he should have noticed that even his illegitimate children were all daughters.

[GabrielaHernandez-wmfd]

I think what makes this movies so powerful is the fact that she was

[Legal_Sweetie]

This guy is talented at playing psychopaths.

[claudianewcomer]

technically it is his fault considering that women only have the x chromosome but men have both x and y chromosomes, so he has no one but himself to blame for the child being a girl.

[Chlo-ee]

Georgiana was a rare thing in British aristocracy. Raised by affectionate parents. Intelligent and resilient. It is fitting that another Spencer will also be adored as much - Diana.

[RooRoove]

The most disturbing part of all of this is that it's based on a true story. She was a real woman.

[kristenencalada]

Raise your hand if you’re happy when Charles Grey came in to take our girl away to happiness when he said “ I want to have many children with you! And I don’t care if they’re BOYS or GIRLS!”
Like go you!!!!

[LadyEzri]

She did eventually give him a son, it was their first child calm down, she is young and lived through childbirth.

[saralang]

The duke triggered me so much like i was mad after watching this movie

[SweetAymz]

Fyi, the men's DNA decides the babies gender. (; So it's his fault.

[nikkinixon]

Any girl who wishes she was born in the Victorian era should watch this movie

[Peachytimes]

My dad was pissed for having nothing but girls. Even his mistresses had nothing but girls.
When my mom had my youngest sister she was humiliated by my uncle (RIP) at a bbq. He told her that his much older wife gave him a son and why my mom couldn't give his brother a son. My aunt went it to the rescue and blamed my father.
Years later my mom divorced my father (I wonder why 😒) and had a son with another man. It shut up my father and my father's family. When my dad met my brother he was 3 months old. My father cried.

[lemmonpitch]

The Duke was so very well portrayed, that I hated him throughout the entire movie. He was selfish and so unworthy. And what's even more frustrating is how men like him ruled over women for such a long time that our society is scared by it to this day.

[edwinabrown]

I Loved Kiera Knightley in this movie and it was heart wrenching when she had to give up baby Eliza 💕

[TheEdwardCullenJunky]

So, he's disappointed that she gave birth to a girl! Big deal...he formed an army of Death Eaters and planned to take over the wizarding world.

Somehow, in the grand scheme of things that seems worse! =S

[davinceabarado]

The chance of getting a baby boy or a baby girl, is 50/50. He can't possibly be mad at her.

[meganslonksnis]

I don't blame the duchess for not wanting him!

[ashleyjones]

Ralph Fiennes is very talented at playing villains.

[riyadahiya]

Do you know that Geogiana Spencer was Princess Diana 's great great great aunt

[aayatkhan]

Is she same actress from pride and prejudice ?
