Belgravia tells the story of the secrets and scandals among the upper echelons of society in nineteenth century London. The show is based on Julian's novel and focuses on the Trenchards, whose place in the aristocratic society of London's Belgravia is put at risk when a decades-old love affair comes back to haunt them. Set in the 1800s, the series began with the backdrop of the Duchess of Richmond's ball and the Battle of Waterloo. Fast forwarding 30 years, the drama then focuses on how the Trenchard family has changed in that time, as well as focusing on the Brockenhurst dynasty, and the familial tie between the two.
Belgravia continues on Sunday at 9pm on ITV.
