Australian Premiere
From acclaimed director Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral), My Duchess reveals the turbulent final chapter in the extraordinary life of Wallis Simpson, Duchess of Windsor (Dame Joan Collins), the American socialite whose romance with Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor (formerly King Edward VIII) changed the course of British history.
Following the Duke’s death in 1972, Wallis retreats to her Paris château, surrounded by her colourful confidant Jean-Claude (Laurent Lafitte, The Count of Monte Cristo) and devoted butler Louis (Buom Tihngang). Into this increasingly fragile world steps Maître Suzanne Blum (Academy Award nominee Isabella Rossellini, Conclave BFF24), Wallis’ trusted lawyer whose apparent devotion takes a sinister turn.
As protection begins to give way to manipulation, Blum isolates Wallis and tightens her grip over her increasingly vulnerable life. Also starring Academy Award nominee Miranda Richardson and BAFTA-nominated Charles Dance, My Duchess transforms a notorious chapter of royal history into a gripping battle of loyalty, deception and control.
