The Favourite - Intrigue and Madness - Blu-ray

England is at war with France in the early 18th century, yet duck racing and the enjoyment of pineapples are becoming increasingly popular. The frail Queen Anne sits on the throne, but her close friend Lady Sarah governs the country in her stead and also looks after Anne's health and her unpredictable moods. When the new maid Abigail arrives, she quickly ingratiates herself with Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing, and Abigail sees her chance to return to her aristocratic roots.

As the political disputes increasingly occupy Sarah's time, Abigail steps into her place and becomes the queen's confidante. This budding friendship now gives Abigail the opportunity to realize her ambitious goals, and she will not allow a woman, a man, politics, or anything else to stand in her way.
