Toby Regbo doesn't age. Still as adorable as in Reign. They don't tell us that Tom Mitford was rumored to be gay.
ReplyDeleteToby is the cutest thing ever, he was completely adorable and irresistible in Belgravia, the only good thing in it.
DeleteI wonder if they would be honored or cringe at being compared to the Kardashian family.
ReplyDeleteGiven how crazy they were, they might hit a friendship with them.
DeleteThe Kardashian comparison is misleading. Media was not then what it is now. The Mitford girls would pop up in social pages (strictly newspaper) once they were presented at Court or on occasion of their marriages. Yes, Diana married Tom Mosley, but she was just ‘The wife.” There are photos of Unity with Hitler, but the extent of their relationship was not known until decades later. They became famous only when Nancy began to include them in their novels, and that was in the late 40s
