Three-part documentary series detailing life of the new aristocracy over Chatsworth's entire 2011 season. The first programme joins the 12th Duke and Duchess as the house is being prepared for opening to the public. It is the busiest time of year for the house staff and everyone has a role to play - even the duke and duchess, as they join the annual litter pick around the estate.

Episode two follows the duchess and the highlight of her social calendar, Chatsworth International Horse Trials. This year there is extra pressure on the duchess and course designer, Ian Stark, as the event is an official qualifier for the London Olympics and everything must meet the governing body's exacting standards.
