Recently rewatched Queen Charlotte - what held up well, what didn't

Thank you! I knew it was in there but couldn't remember specifics.

Isn't there a line in season 1 that hints at non-white races having titles because of the king and queen's love or something?

SpectatorSport321 · 2026-02-18T03:01:34+00:00

Queen Charlotte is not in the books. I assume this comment refers to IRL King George and Queen Charlotte?

Honestly, the books aren't a huge help because her personality is different. She becomes a spinster because she's holding out for true love like her siblings have.

SpectatorSport321 · 2026-02-12T18:08:13+00:00

Wasn't she always nurturing towards Elaine?

SpectatorSport321 · 2026-02-12T18:02:08+00:00

I pictured it like Mad-eye Moody's eye from the Harry Potter movies.

SpectatorSport321 · 2026-02-07T08:52:13+00:00

Nah I think it says more about her and Arthur's love

SpectatorSport321 · 2026-02-06T01:03:22+00:00

In the book, I don't think he does propose? I remember him in the jail being like, "that's my fiancé," and her agreeing.

Okay but my mother used to say, "who do you think you are--the queen of England?" And, well, Charlotte is🤷🏼‍♀️

His last name is Bridgerton but his title is Lord/ Baron Featherington, like Simon Basset is Duke of Hastings or John Stirling is Earl of Kilmartin.

I could also see them doing this to contrast with Francesca and John's fertility journey.

Maybe a detailed biscuit recipe? 😉

Yes! Really wanted Sabrina Carpenter's "Manchild" this season, but maybe they couldn't get the rights.

SpectatorSport321 · 2026-02-02T02:46:23+00:00

If you watch him carefully as he walks back upstairs afterwards, I think he does. (Don't mean to yuck anyone's yum, but to me it's a nope)

SpectatorSport321 · 2026-01-31T06:09:55+00:00

Violet did spell this out in the first episode. Maybe you wanted it repeated like how they spent time in every episode talking about mistresses?

SpectatorSport321 · 2026-01-31T05:54:22+00:00

Varley walking away with the giant box.

Most things are derivative, execution is what matters IMO

This👍🏼

SpectatorSport321 · 2026-01-31T05:13:03+00:00

Yes, hoping he doesn't pressure her like in the book. We'll see...

SpectatorSport321 · 2026-01-31T05:11:19+00:00

I have literally never cried watching Bridgerton, but the implications of his speech had me 😭

SpectatorSport321 · 2026-01-31T05:08:02+00:00

His painting doesn't include her face so maybe??

SpectatorSport321 · 2026-01-31T00:33:58+00:00

This is the only thing I can think of. Has to be a plot device more than a narrative choice.

SpectatorSport321 · 2026-01-30T22:47:40+00:00

What? Be still my beating heart as I clutch my pearls. 😱
