Let's be Lady Edith.

I'm her married "title" but no one really knows what it is?

R42, IMO, Edith (Laura Carmichael) looks really good in that photo and, no, I don't think Elizabeth McGovern (Mom in DA) looks 10X prettier.

As much as the Edith character was irritating (IMO), she actually had the best body / figure of all of the women.

I'm the swift kick in the ass she deserves for moaning about her life as the Marchioness of Hexham, living at Brancaster, with a man who loves her and even her odd looking bumped into a heavy door love child, when, in fact, what she's moaning about is everything she ever fucking wanted.
