REVIEW: 'Queen Charlotte,' Netflix’s latest addition to the Bridgerton universe, struggles to justify its existence and raises questions about race it refuses to wrestle with.
Sex puns aside, the latest addition to theisn’t just about bodice-ripping, castle-shaking romps. No, this romance series wants viewers to think about what love means before a happy ending — and has set its sights on one of the series’ most “epic love stories”: starring the titular Queen Charlotte and her husband King George III.
While the Queen Charlotte viewers know and love has plenty screentime in the show, it’s a younger Queen Charlotte that gets introduced in this prequel. After her brother makes a marriage arrangement on her behalf, Charlotte is taken from her home and deposited in an England not ready for her defiance, or her skin color. Following a chance meeting with her husband, King George , Charlotte is disarmed by the idea that her marriage of necessity could also be one of love.
