The Three Musketeers - The Duke of Buckingham

Georges Villiers, the Duke of Buckingham was to British politics what cardinal Richelieu was to France's. Being responsable for a permanent policy of war against France (and Spain) didn't endear him to King Louis. Rumours of him having an affair with Queen Anne probably even less so.

Pictured here with some members of his personal bodyguard, on those sneaky visits to Paris that are described in Dumas' novel.


The model is King & Country's interpretation of the character in 65mm, and a very nice one at that.


A clandestine appointment with the queen in the park. He'll only be able to steal a few minutes, but it will be worth it.
