"A Very Royal Scandal" delves into the tumultuous life and headline-grabbing divorce of Margaret Campbell, Duchess of Argyll (played by Claire Foy) and Ian Campbell, the 11th Duke of Argyll (played by Paul Bettany).  This three-part miniseries explores their scandalous relationship, culminating in a high-profile and acrimonious divorce trial that captivated Britain in the 1960s.  More than just a story of marital breakdown, the series offers a glimpse into the social mores of post-war Britain, examining societal expectations of women and the often-harsh judgment they faced.  "A Very Royal Scandal" is a story of sex, lies, and betrayal set against the backdrop of British aristocracy.
