I have to say, it is so refreshing to enjoy something with reactors who actually watch & pay attention!! No overtalking the dialogue or missing crucial information. I loved so many things about this reaction, especially how well you both caught all the nuances. The Lady Whistledown comment was hilarious, I felt exactly the same way! Jarreau was spot on with the Hamilton reference. Shonda gave an interview some years ago and said she told Netflix about Bridgerton "you know I'm going to 'Hamilton' the cast, right?", so I'm sure the music was an influence at well. I can't list all the times y'all were spot on but it made this so enjoyable compared to others I've seen. Thanks so much and can't wait for more, you have a new sub!
Thank you so much! We truly appreciate it! Lady Whistledown was definitely feeling herself. 🤣🤣 We enjoyed this series. So far, it has been our favorite of the Bridgerton franchise. We are looking forward to season 3. Thank you for subscribing! 😁😁
1715 Just to clarify, George and Charlotte had 15 children, but numbers 13 and 14 (both boys) died in the same year before they were five. Apparently when George's mental condition really started to get back he would sometimes talked to them as if they were there. Their youngest daughter, number 15, also died, albeit in her mid-twenties - re that scene in season 1 when they mention Amelia. Personally I'm still sometimes surprised Charlotte is able to walk after giving birth 15 times.
@@AtypicalReactions Yeah, there should only have been 12 left at this point, since this is after that scene in Bridgerton. The writers must have forgotten that.
@@HuntingViolets I think some reckon they included Amelia in the list because she lived till her mid-twenties. Or they just did make a mistake. I wonder if they're going to mention her and her deceased brothers later in the show.
2:40 Well it is a Daphne situation when you remember her brother Anthony nearly forced her to marry Nigel Berbrooke saying "I have acted in your best interest, now be grateful it is done' and 'it should be as easy to fall in love with Berbrooke as it is to fall in love with any other man' after scaring off every other suitor.
16:54 THat's her eldest son, George, Prince Regent since his father was officially declared mentally unfit to rule, and future George the Fourth (generally regarded as a joke because of his excessive spending and drinking). The woman who just, Princess Charlotte, died was his daughter. He nearly famously hated his wife Caroline of Brunswick (he only agreed to marry her because Parliament agreed to pay off his debts if he did marry her, they disliked each other before they met and it only got worse afterwards and he was always looking for some excuse to legally divorce her) but from what I can tell he did genuinely love their daughter Charlotte (I've heard he was somehow able to arrange for Caroline to have next to no presence in her life) so his grieving here is genuine. Apparently Princess Charlotte was very popular with the public so there was a lot of public mourning for her.
The racial thing is just made up for the show. What they call The Great Experiment. Because the Queen is now “too” Brown, they are trying to make it seem like its on purpose and what they wanted all along. So they invited other well to do people of color into the court and gave them titles to make it seem like they were trying to integrate their societies. But like I said this is something that only happens in the show to explain the casting of people of color as people with money and status in the 17 & 18th centuries. I would have preferred color blind casting, meaning that they just cast whoever in any role. But that could be weird too since it would likely mean QC and the Bridgertons even, could be any race. People might have a hard time sinking in when one sibling is white, another asian and another black. But hey sometimes thats life. Its interesting nonetheless.
That's what we originally thought when we watched the first season of Bridgerton. We recently learned the depiction of Queen Charlotte is accurate. Charlotte was a woman of mixed racial heritage. She was of African descent. :-)
They do that in plays a lot. Well, they could have just made the Bridgertons black and then everyone else could be whatever. I would have been fine with no explanation; this is just an AU without racism; that would have been fine. The experiment is turning out to be somewhat interesting here. It makes me wonder what effect it would have on history going forward, though. (Just a note: It''s the 18th and 19th centuries (1700s, 1800s).)
@@AtypicalReactions There's a lot of debate about that, and I don't know what's correct. I've seen that she and George would share the same ancestor who is the one pointed out, so they both would be, but that it's quite a ways back in their history. Then other people are adamant in the other direction, so I don't know. It' works on the show either way, though.
This is one of my favourite reactions to Queen Charlotte! You deserve way more views
Thank you!!! 🙏🏾

We wanted to know what happened to their two children. We assumed Amelia may have been one of the two. Wow. Thank you for sharing this!

I had to come back and rewatch your whole Queen Charlotte series from beginning to end. ❤
🤣 Thank you! We're so glad you like it. We've enjoyed and appreciated your insight. It has been encouraging and inspiring. 🙏🏾❤️
Definitely keep watching and reacting. All will come clear and you will love it. I'm subscribed and awaiting your takes on Ep2.
Thanks Sandy! We appreciate the support! We're up to Episode 4 ... so far. :-)
Really enjoying your reactions!
Thank you!
Rather a disinterested king than what poor Lady D. had to go through.
3:20. Yep. And with their own wives instead of with unmarried women or somebody else's wife.
Only recommendation, have the music near the end more in the background. It was a bit loud.
I’m really enjoying your videos.

Brandy’s Cinderella from the 90s was color blind casting. To give contrast to the difference
