The Duchess of Duke Street is a dramatic TV series created by John Hawkesworth for BBC that centers on Louisa Trotter (Gemma Jones), an ambitious beautiful woman determined to become the best cook she could be. Initially working for the Lord Norton's belittling French chef, Monsieur Alex (George Pravda), Louisa's beauty and skill catches the eye of Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales (Roger Hammond), who pulls her into his household as both the wife of his head butler, Gus (Donald Burton), and his mistress. Unfortunately, when the Prince becomes King, he leaves Louisa behind to handle her disastrous marriage alone as her husband nearly runs her recent endeavor at the Bentinck Hotel into deep debt. It is only with the help of her lifelong love, Charles Tyrrell, Lord Haslemere (Christopher Cazenove), and her dedicated staff, comprised of an elderly Merriman (John Welsh), brisk Starr (John Cater), and loyal Mary (Victoria Plucknett). The Duchess of Duke Street is loosely based on the real-life story of Rosa Lewis who ran the Cavendish Hotel in London.MORE
