We are doing a mini-mistresses week and first up is the first Royal Mistress we ever covered.
Now, Diane wasn't just any royal mistress, she was the royal mistress. From her iconic fountain of youth (was it really just the water, Diane?), to her savvy political maneuvers that would make Machiavelli take notes, we're uncovering the life of the woman who became the envy and idol of France..
So grab your crown, pour yourself a glass of your finest wine, and join us as we explore the life of Diane de Poitiers, the woman who showed us that sometimes, the most powerful place in the land is right at the heart of the king.
