After Kate and Anthony’s enemies-to-lovers romance in Season 2 of Bridgerton, I didn’t think the future Bridgerton seasons could get any better. I was so wrong.
In this season, we get to learn more about the upbringing of core Bridgerton characters like Lady Danbury, Violet Bridgerton, and of course, Queen Charlotte and King George.
Overview
The season begins with Charlotte being taken by carriage to England from Germany accompanied by her older brother, Adolphus. It turns out that her brother has signed her off to be married to King George. She is adamantly against this. Later on in the season, through the king’s point of view, we see that he was initially opposed to it too. In fact, Charlotte is so against marrying the king, that she tries to climb over the palace’s garden walls on her wedding day. Also, none of the palace staff are telling her what the king is like, which is freaking her out. Luckily, King George runs into her and talks her out of climbing over the wall. They are both clearly attracted to one another at this point. This scene where they first met was so cute. The way he was flirting with her in the most royal way was beautiful.
A Turn for the Worse
Unfortunately, things took a turn shortly after they got married because George had Charlotte sent away in separate royal quarters to live in. He left her there along with only her staff and did not contact her for days. The new queen started going crazy and eventually hauled herself over to the king’s building to confront him. Later, we learn that he suffers from some type of neurological and/or psychiatric condition and is desperately trying to hide this from her. On the sides, we have Kingsman Reynolds and Queensman Brimsley, who know their royals best and have been observing everything. Also, they are having a secret romance of their own.
George, who truly loves Charlotte and holds her in the highest regard, cannot say no to his beloved when she asks him to live with her together. As a consequence, he meets with his doctor less often. George is really happy with Charlotte and remarks that she has done more to help him than the doctors ever have. I’ll leave the rest out because the show is truly worth the watch. 🙂
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a light comedy with 20-minute episodes, this one may not be for you. But if you appreciate a true royal romance with rich plot lines and character development, then this is your show. I don’t think I’ve been so touched by a romance story and also cried so much watching a show, especially during the last episode. You don’t need to have watched Bridgerton to understand Queen Charlotte either. If you haven’t watched it already, I recommend this one so much for viewers who appreciate not only a true romance but also extremely well-developed characters and side plots.
