Like many of her Stuart forebears, Queen Anne made few decisions without consulting her favourite - an astute and well connected advisor to whom she deferred on everything from foreign policy to party politics.
But controversially, Queen Anne's favourite was not only a woman but also the object of her very passionate affection. Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough rose from a modest upbringing to become one of the most powerful women of the eighteenth century.
Jenni talks to Ophelia Field, the author The Favourite, a new biography of Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough.
