Bridgerton blew the world away when it premiered on Netflix Christmas 2020.
So the promise that the Bridgerton universe was expanding with a prequel spin-off centered on her majesty Queen Charlotte has been highly anticipated.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is set up as an origin story that will focus on young Charlotte’s betrothal to King George III. Thus, great liberty was taken into reimagining the character with a focus on the debated theory that the real-life Queen Charlotte might have been the first British monarch of mixed ancestry.
