In episode 1, when Augusta and the lords see that Charlotte is biracial, they quickly enact the Great Experiment, giving out titles and wedding invitations to some wealthy Black families. This is how young Agatha Danbury becomes Lady Danbury, as she's named Charlotte's lady-in-waiting. Meanwhile, as Charlotte prepares for the wedding, she can’t help but think about how her life will be going forward.

Bridgerton takes this idea and asks what if King George IV and Queen Charlotte’s marriage had actually ushered in a post-racial society in the Regency era? The dilemma of securing a legitimate heir that Queen Charlotte faces later in life in the show was a very real problem in reality for the actual Charlotte. When her granddaughter Princess Charlotte died in childbirth, she was the only legitimate grandchild and heir in the family, despite the many children that George and Charlotte had.

"It wouldn't surprise me at all that wealthy elites would carry around opium," Richert says. For aristocrats and royals, it would have been easy to buy some from people in the shipping or trade industries. Or, they could source it directly from their local chemist. Drugs are becoming more prominent in the show than before – previously at the balls they all drink lemonade, and the men occasionally retire to the smoking rooms to have tobacco and drink alcohol.

As fans await the Bridgerton prequel, some filming locations have been revealed. Unexpectedly, a corner of Hackney cameos in the ‘Bridgerton’ spinoff. Ex-music hall Hackney Empire makes a perfect stand-in for a scene where a young Charlotte goes to the opera. You’ll still find opera at the Empire, as well as gigs, comedy, cabaret and community events. The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only.

Was Queen Charlotte really Black?
But, for now, some of the fanbase would love a trip back to the past with the young queen and her king. Entertainment Weekly asked Rhimes about the prospect last year and she played coy. Then, the episode cuts back to a flashback of the past where a young Queen Charlotte and Adolphus meet with Princess Augusta, King George III’s mother, and her councilors. After Princess Augusta examines Charlotte she tells a young Brimsley to take Charlotte to the seamstress to get her wedding gown fitted. As Brimsley and Charlotte walk through the palace, Charlotte asks Brimsley for information about the King but comes up empty.
We think we might have liked a richer color story for her than this, but it’s a great melding of old world fashion and modern style. We don’t even mind the bows, because they look like an element you’d see on an 18th century gown. He looks presentable, but we think a prince in a romance story should be working a little harder for the promotional work.

Turns out, the Bridgerton partying lifestyle wasn't actually so far off from the real-life version. She'd have to choose another drug (or at least find a new method of ingesting it). Records show that people in England knew about and chewed on coca leaves as early as the 1700s, Richert says—well before the Regency era.
Laws about drug use were pretty lax during the Regency era.
Then, we cut to wedding invitations being delivered to all of Charlotte’s court. After Lord Danbury and a young Lady Danbury have sex, Lady Danbury goes to take a bath and finds out from her maid, Coral, that they’ve been invited to the royal wedding. She also discovers that she’ll be attending Queen Charlotte as part of her court. As Charlotte and her husband return to Buckingham House so that George can prepare to address Parliament, she shares tea in the orangery with Agatha. She asks her friend if there’s anything she can do to assist in the wake of Lord Danbury’s recent death, and though Agatha is tempted to argue her case for title inheritance, she resists for Charlotte’s sake. Nor does she mention Adolphus, whose affections for Agatha are becoming impossible to ignore.

The question of whether to marry again now lingers over her every move, even as she tries to avoid Lord Ledger’s gaze in public. More generally, she is a writer-editor covering food and drink, travel, lifestyle and culture in New York City. She was previously the Features Editor at Rachael Ray In Season and Reveal, as well as the Food & Drink Editor and chief restaurant critic at Time Out New York. While Queen Charlotte was not doing hard drugs during Bridgerton season 2, a few of the Bridgerton boys do get into some psychedelic trouble.
All of that powder led some viewers to assume that Charlotte is using cocaine — but that is not the substance Charlotte is imbibing. Queen Charlotte also comes up with ways to entertain herself, beyond tracking down Lady Whistledown and searching for gossip. In multiple scenes, Queen Charlotte leans over and snorts a crushed substance up her nose.
Instead, we're seeing London during winter for the first time, gloomy weather an all. The series also includes several Easter eggs to point Bridgerton fans toward where the storyline fits in the larger Bridgerverse. As for what year the story takes place, the show doesn't specify when the wedding takes place beyond Charlotte's age at the time. The real-life Queen Charlotte and King George III were married in 1761, and since the show takes inspiration from the true history, it's likely that the fictional wedding takes place in the same year.
They see this as a problem and want to cancel the wedding immediately. However, this can’t happen because the trade has already been made and it’s the day of the wedding. After realizing that nothing can be changed, Augusta tells the councilors that the guest list for the wedding should be expanded to include Charlotte’s court. Initially, the councilors disagree, but then Augusta tells them that that’s what the King wants and they back down. Charlotte finds him in the bedroom they once shared, scribbling on the walls and conversing with the sky.
Get ready to dance the night away in this luxurious ballroom! No matter where the cards fall, we can guarantee luck is in your favor. It’s certainly a night full of love, scandal, and celebration. In the final scene of the series, present-day Queen Charlotte visits King George with the news that their son, Edward, has married and is expecting a baby aka an heir to the throne. This means that the present-day events of the spinoff all take place between Bridgerton season 2 and its upcoming third season, which makes sense as Queen Charlotte and Bridgerton season 3 were filmed simultaneously.
So, it might have had you questioning what was going on when in season two of Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte looked to be sniffing a brown powder. Fans know that Bridgerton sometimes plays fast and loose with historical accuracy, but a lot of the series is based in fact — including Queen Charlotte’s curious habit in Season 2. Here’s what Queen Charlotte is snorting on Bridgerton, and what you need to know about snuff at the turn of the 19th century. We’re looking at a potentially catastrophic amount of lemon yellow satin, but she’s handling it like it’s nothing more than a basic LBD. It looks like it’s a robe with a keyhole cutout over a sheer bodysuit or some such thing, but we really wish we couldn’t see any of that. A style like this doesn’t call for sheer or cutouts, so the addition of them feels rather forced.
In the event that you’re missing a few necessary accessories, don’t fret dear reader. Madame Delacroix’s shop is also open for business, where elegant crowns, fans, and lace gloves can be purchased. Among the opulent decor, you will find displays of the gorgeous dresses made by the modiste. A mesmerizing wisteria-lined tunnel greets you with dreamy lights and quickly transports you to a scene seemingly straight out of the series. Characters welcome you as you get a chance to mingle with delicious hand-crafted cocktails, like their fabulous “Diamond of the Season” or “Birds of a Featherington”. The couple then kiss in a sweet moment reminiscent of their younger days.
