The extraordinary tale behind the critically acclaimed television series "A Very British Scandal" revolves around the life of Margaret, a once-beloved debutante who tragically fell from grace and became an outcast within her own family. Margaret's journey is a captivating one, immortalized in Cole Porter's iconic song "You're the Top."

The legal battles that marked her life were extraordinary, with her divorce from the Duke of Argyll being one of the longest, most costly, and highly publicized divorces in British legal history.
