Spreading slander about the sexual impropriety of ones enemies was par for the course at the time.
Alas, theres no concrete evidence suggesting that the relationship between Queen Anne and Abigail was anything but platonic.
Somersetwrites that,to Sarah, lesbianism was a disgusting vice, with which she had never been tainted.
Did Abigail really poison Sarah?
Theres no evidence of this actually happening.
Did Sarah Churchill really attempt to blackmail the Queen?
Yes, the film got this part exactly right.
I have drawers full of the same in every place where I have lived.
