Once a young working-class girl from Grimsby, Jane answered an advertisement in a magazine and to the astonishment of her friends and family, became the Duchess of York&#8217;s dresser at Buckingham Palace. Moving amongst the highest social circles in Britain, Jane managed to secure a place in the upper-classes, only to lose her job with the Duchess after nine years of service. Still reeling from her fall from grace, Jane went on to meet charismatic businessman Thomas Cressman and fell deeply in love. Soon cracks began to develop in the romance Jane had pinned all her hopes on, with disastrous consequences.<\/p>\n<p>Other cast includes Philip Glenister (Cranford), Claire Skinner (Bridget Jones&#8217;s Diary), Laura Aikman (This City Is Ours), Ophelia Lovibond (Guardians of the Galaxy), Mark Stanley (A Cruel Love: The Ruth Ellis Story, Adolescence), Daniel Ryan (Passenger) and Sean Teale (Doctor Odyssey).<\/p>\n<p>Based upon true events surrounding Andrews&#8217; story, the partly fictionalized drama will be produced by multi award-winning independent production company, Left Bank Pictures, a Sony Pictures Television Company, producers of the acclaimed series The Crown.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2239712374\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Lady has been commissioned for BritBox by Jess O&#8217;Riordan and for ITV by Polly Hill.
