Princess Augusta went to a small province in Germany to find George a wife because it was remote enough that any rumors about his illness would not have traveled that far. When Charlotte showed up she was more "brown" then they anticipated but it was too late to cancel the wedding so they created "The Great Experiment" to make it appear intentional. Brimsley is like a very personal personal assistant; he is there to make sure she never wants for anything. He cannot disobey Charlotte's direct order. "I can pick my own oranges" is a statement about ability. "I will pick my own oranges" is a command. (CORRECTION 8/25/23) The ladies who follow her are her attendants. She's basically not allowed to do anything herself. Charlotte is 17; George is 22.
Queen Charlotte begins in 1761 during the Georgian era. Charlotte is 17. George is 22. Lady Danbury has 4 children and the oldest girl is pretty big - so I would say she is about 27-28. Violet is only 12 years old. Present day Bridgerton is during the Regency era which began in 1811 and ended in 1820 when Georgie ( the one Queen Charlotte told sorrows, prayers) became George IV. Lady Danbury's character is pure fiction, but someone like her being present in Georgian England is historical. That's why she checked Augusta and let her know her father-in-law was also a king. African royalty sent their children abroad to study at the finest schools in Europe. So Lord Danbury went to Eaton and Oxford and settled in London after school. He's old and misogynistic, but he is well educated and Lady Danbury knows he is a pain in her butt because he is constantly being slapped in the face by racism. Each time he bothers her he has received some kind of news from the establishment society. Lady Danbury is concerned with elevating POC. She is an OG civil rights activist. She is the driving force that created the integrated society seen in the first two seasons. She realizes that with Queen Charlotte as their leader, they can achieve that new world.
They knew she had Moorish ancestry, but they didn't think she would be visibly Black. Charlotte checks Augusta about it in the book. They thought she would be grateful just to be the queen.
@Kimberly Becoat Studio forgot my other theory was that they went for a black person cause he was sick and she woulda be grateful but .. the only person who really know she was black was the one who went there they all thought that with the Moore blood she was white passing not black
She says, “I can pick my own orange, Brimsley.” I can is a statement of capability. I will pick my own orange is a statement of intent, and it would be a command. Brimsley listens to her commands only. Otherwise, he performs his duties, but he will follow commands. As time moves forward in the story, you can see Charlotte learns how she must speak to/ command Brimsley to get him to do what she says.
😍Your enthusiastic squeals and swoons are everything! and they mirror mine. The way George looks at Charlotte is so loving. Yes she is only 17 and he is only 22 and both are probably falling in love for the first time. A couple of rough episodes coming up, hold on for the ride.
@@TajinaeTurner just make sure you wear is correctly! if worn incorrectly it could cause physical injury over time, but if it’s worn correctly you should have no problems with comfort :)
You reactions are the best, absolutely adorable! To answer a couple of the questions you asked during the episode. Marriages (at least in the UK) have to be consummated to be fully considered a marriage, otherwise it is “voidable”, i.e. it can be annulled. This is why everyone is obsessed with it. It was a usual thing, especially amongst the nobility that this was confirmed since marriages were mostly for forging political and economic alliances. It was also usual for servants and members of the court to just waltz into the Royal suites to attend to the business of the day. In the Georgian part of Hampton Court Palace you can see the remote locking system that George II had installed so that he could unlock the doors to his room from bed because he and Caroline had just had it with everyone marching through. The women in the Orangery that you mentioned are Charlottes attendants, servants who dress and take care of her as you saw. Ladies-in-Waiting are lower order members of the nobility who are more like administrative assistants, personal assistants or secretaries. Definitely not servants. You’ll see more of them in the next episode.
My life went 🤪 when Careless Whisper came on haha perfect insert 😂 the best love scene in a long time no music no hoopla just two yearning for one another in heavy breathing and fireplace crackling 😍 so mesmerizing
remember when she told her children in E1 "...I drew you pictures!".... she wanted her children to know what was expected, she prepared them but couldn't mother them b/c she was so focused on loving George
I watched QC a year late and have spent the entire summer of 2024 obsessed with it. Your reactions are what I imagine it looked like in my house when I watched the series the first (of many) times! The squealing! The giggling! The hollering “please stop” at George and his ridiculously handsome face and irresistible romantic charms! Can’t wait to watch the rest of these. I also 😂when you reprimanded yourself “this is an Imperialist man!” And the “Careless Whisper” sax at the reveal of Wedding Night George made me laugh so loud I woke up (and annoyed!) my dog. And hats off to you for not doing a spit take at “I’m very good with buttons” (I will never recover from that delivery 🫠) What fun you are to relive this series with!
I'm a very old Boomer sis-gen, Northern English-Latinx biracial, (try saying that in one breath), so Shonda's Bridgerton confections intrigue. They show a multihued Britain that looks very much like the one I have always known and that has always existed. That said, there are many, many smart, insightful reaction pieces on Queen Charlotte. But none anywhere near as effervescent and utterly charming as yours (you remind me of my niece at university in New York City). Taking oneself right up to the line of "spoiler," I will and must say this: your observation that George "cannot breath" unless Charlotte is looking at him, is with him, and he with her, is absolutely, and shatteringly true. Your observation is one of the most crucial of actual lines of the entire series' astonishing conclusion . The only other "spoiler alert" I might give is this: Shonda's take on the Bridgerton arc is wonderfully subversive -- and in delirious projection of a series of multihued British aristocracies, actually much, much more accurate than most Britons and Americans, Shonda fans and Shonda detractors all, might know (I took my degrees at Columbia University in African and European history and French language and literatures in French/Franco-African worlds). Suffice it to say, Shonda's Queen Charlotte is not the "merely" brilliant, subversive confection of the Bridgerton series. No, Queen Charlotte, in the end, is a cinématique poem about the nature of love, the more truer, more complex meanings -- with Shonda's explorations of the high cost entailing and yet transcendent power of true love . She almost singlehandedly reshapes the romance novel genre's "happily ever after." Before this work, Shonda Rhimes was "merely" a genius screenwriter, producer, director: probably the most powerful woman in broadcast production. With this work? I would say that she has become THE poet cinématique of a multihued Atlantic world that always was, but only now has been given the right to declare its presence. As for your smart, impossibly charming reaction pieces, permit me to get my nerd on to state the obvious: no Borg could so conquer the terminally skeptical (comme moi-même) so quickly, so easily, and so completely: "Resistance is Futile." Indeed. "Subscribed!"
violet is not babysitting Queen Charlotte's children. The show switches between QC's early life & marriage to King George (1761) and "today's" Bridgerton in the timeline we see in the Bridgerton series -- around 1813-1815. Those are most likely Daphne & Simon's children that Violet is playing with on the floor.
Well in Charlottes defense all of her children are adults so she gave them free will to decided I think if King George wasn’t sick by that point she wouldn’t have been pushing for it

They had no idea she was black they just wanted to get someone who would not know he is sick so they went far and wide for a bride
They knew she had Moorish ancestry, but they didn't think she would be visibly Black. Charlotte checks Augusta about it in the book. They thought she would be grateful just to be the queen.
They knew she was Black. George's mother says "she's very Brown - you didn't say she was this Brown" .
@Kimberly Becoat Studio forgot my other theory was that they went for a black person cause he was sick and she woulda be grateful but .. the only person who really know she was black was the one who went there they all thought that with the Moore blood she was white passing not black
I feel like she was part black 25%. But I think she had strong features
I seeeee
She says, “I can pick my own orange, Brimsley.” I can is a statement of capability. I will pick my own orange is a statement of intent, and it would be a command. Brimsley listens to her commands only. Otherwise, he performs his duties, but he will follow commands. As time moves forward in the story, you can see Charlotte learns how she must speak to/ command Brimsley to get him to do what she says.
Oh wow! Thank you so much for clarifying this! Makes sense!
Girlll you have me cracking up with your reactions, and the memes are so accurate🤣🤣
Awww thank you so much! Haha
The irony is King George surrounded her with all this opulence in an attempt to give her the world and all she wanted was him 😢
Omggg 😭😭

Awww thank you! It’s really hard not to during this series! It is so wonderful! And I seeeee.
Trying to stay strong!
the whole "corsets are painful" thing was created for modern viewing. In reality, when worn correctly they were quite comfortable.
I’ve always thought they were so cute! I’ll have to buy a few and see how they feel! Thank you for the insight!
@@TajinaeTurner just make sure you wear is correctly! if worn incorrectly it could cause physical injury over time, but if it’s worn correctly you should have no problems with comfort :)
