The real Mitford Sisters - Debo 3

💍✨From a Noble Wedding to a Mysterious Country House Death 🏰☠️

For Deborah Mitford, marrying a Cavendish meant marrying their ghosts, too. We’re unpacking the baggage of one of Britain's most illustrious dynasties, from the legendary Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire (the 18th-century "it-girl" linked to Marie Antoinette and Lady Di) and her scandalous ménage à trois, to the tragic ties that bind the family to the Kennedy Curse and the heavy shadow of the 10th Duke’s sudden, suspicious death. This episode explores how Debo stepped into a world where high society glamour meets dark ancestral mysteries and personal tragedies.🪦🎭
