The new Sky drama Mary & George is a riveting treat for history buffs and fans of Nicholas Galitzine who seems to be having a moment in show business right now. The plot unfurls the saga of Mary Villiers, portrayed by Julianne Moore and her magnetic son, George, brought to life. By 1614/15, George had captured the king’s attention, soon becoming his favourite, securing a prominent place in court and reaching unprecedented heights of power.
