Lady Mary dishes on being terrified of Dame Maggie Smith and saying farewell to Downton Abbey

Where do we find Lady Mary in the finale?

At the start of the film, she's almost no longer Lady Mary Talbot. She's separated and about to officially divorce. Despite that, we find her in a good place. In the last film, you could see the beginnings of a changing of the guard. With the death of Violet (Dame Maggie Smith), it was an end of an era. The reality of that is setting in.

What does it mean to be a divorced woman in those times?
