HRN-2629 In: 13.21.02 Out: 13.21.30 Sound Bite: Ralph Fiennes No I didnt know it before I was sent the screenplay (talks) uhm well up to a point it is but the point about this is this marriage survived and it went on and there were this menage a trios there were two woman that lived with The Duke and they got on it didnt, it didnt end tragically in fact. 13:21:35 - A03. HRN-2629 In: 13.21.35 Out: 13.21.49 Sound Bite: Ralph Fiennes Yeah, but unlike she was active in politics Diana was a figure head but she wasnt active politically which Georgiana was. 13:22:03 - A04. HRN-2629 In: 13.22.03 Out: 13.22.40 Sound Bite: Ralph Fiennes Well hes a man, hes struggling, hes not someone, hes not emotional demonstrative. He doesnt show his emotions easily. I mean this is sort of a cult of the male in certain not just in England but all, in the past you didnt show your emotion, you didnt cry, you didnt complain you didnt boast or brag either you maintained a stoic an, deliberately unexpressive, stoic would be the word. 13:22:42 - A05. HRN-2629 In: 13.22.42 Out: 13.23.28 Sound Bite: Ralph Fiennes Yeah no they became friends and then there was the love affair between Bess and The Duke and (talks) well yeah but I think you know they were unusual, they were able to find a way through it I mean Georgiana actually, the film doesnt show it but I think, I believe she had some affection for The Duke I dont think she, I dont think they were sexually a good match (talks) but I think out of it grew historically what sort of grew was a sort of friendship and affection she writes about him with affection but I think probably the romantic sexual side of it was not, not something that worked between them. 13:24:05 - A06. HRN-2629 In: 13.24.05 Out: 13.24.32 Sound Bite: Ralph Fiennes Hes not the royal family, he has absolutely no family connection through the thrown so you have the royal family at the top and around that we have other independent families who have a lot of land and power and that traditionally in England is the Dynamic is the king and the royal family and then around them are the nobility.
