He really was prime minister, should be prime minister. The time is 1834, 1835 to 1841. He often takes a conservative approach to reform. He opposed the repeal of the Corn Laws and the abolition of slaves.
There are so many scandals about him. He had an affair with the writer Lady Norton, which resulted in her husband demanding £1,400 in compensation, and he might have stepped down if it wasn't for the Duke of Wellington's backing. He was also rumored to be flogging the female orphan he charitably adopted.
Lord M is 40 years older than the Queen. He is very favored, staying 4-5 hours a day and being given an apartment in Windsor Castle. But in fact, he also came up with a lot of bad ideas, such as Mrs. Flora reflected in episode 2, insisting that she was pregnant because of an affair.
The second thing cannot be said to be a bad idea, but it does harm China. On October 1, 1839, it was the Melbourne-led Whig cabinet that decided to send an expeditionary force to China, which was the start of the 1st Opium War, which led to the cession of Hong Kong.
He is a graduate of Eton College.
Episode 1 talks about his wife having an open affair with the famous poet Lord Byron (1812), and M for the first time received widespread attention, but in fact it was just against his original intention. In the film, he gives a feeling of sympathy, as if he has always been unrequited to his wife. But eventually the two reconciled (separation began in 1825), and her death in 1828 affected him greatly.
