“The Duchess” was also filmed at Chatsworth. That was a pretty good movie, but it made Bess Foster (the third one in the marriage) seem nicer than she sounds if you read the Georgiana biography by Amanda Foreman.

I remembered seeing a program about the Gainsborough portrait of Georgiana that was stolen, did a search, and came up with this article:

Yes, Bess certainly seemed to have a whole bunch of issues going on.
