This doublet was first worn by Robert Hardy as Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester in the magnificent 1971 miniseries Elizabeth R. Thirty years later the jacket was recycled for use by an extra playing a court musician in 2005’s The Virgin Queen.

Costume Commentary
I love seeing Robert Hardy pop up in odd places. As Dudley in Elizabeth R, as Prince Albert in Edward VII, as Sigfried in All Creatures Great and Small, as Sir John in Sense and Sensibility, as Cornelius Fudge in Harry Potter…
He’s 90, and has an amazing body of work. And shows no signs of slowing down!
I agree, he’s absolutely fantastic. I had NO idea he was 90 years old! WOW!
As FDR in Bertie & Elizabeth, as Sir John Middleton in Sense and Sensibility, as Brooke in Middlemarch and Churchill in War and Remembrance!
I did not realize he had played FDR! I will have to check that out!
