self-made

Can anyone explain why the television ads for The Duchess, the Duchess of Devonshire biopic, open with the voiceover: “She came from nothing. . .”  Her father was the first Earl Spencer and she was related to the Duke of Marlborough, and I mean I don’t want to sound like a prole here but that sounds pretty not-nothing to me, except I suppose in the ashes-to-ashes sense.  Is there some attempt at justification for this in the film, or is it just pure nonsense?
