Story
In early 18th century England, Queen Anne (Olivia Colman) rules with her close friend and confidante, Lady Sarah Churchill (Rachel Weisz). Sarah manages the country's affairs while tending to Anne's health and mercurial temperament. When Abigail Masham (Emma Stone), Sarah's cousin, arrives at court seeking employment, she quickly endears herself to Sarah, who takes her under her wing. As Anne and Sarah grow closer, Abigail sees an opportunity to regain her aristocratic status. When Sarah becomes preoccupied with political matters due to the ongoing war with France, Abigail steps in as the Queen's companion, further advancing her ambitions.
