How Queen Charlotte shows a different side to fan-favourites Lady Danbury and Violet Bridgerton
, these off-putting scenes gather significance for how they introduce the sexuality of the women of the Ton over 50.have seen Lady Violet Bridgerton and Lady Agatha Danbury orbit around the lingering looks and torrid love affairs of their younger counterparts. As is often the unfair fate of older women in television, they have chiefly operated in a maternal capacity – Lady Danbury to Duke Simon and Lady Bridgerton to her brood of Bridgertons – and conspired to matchmake together.
In the present-day timeline of the new six-part spin-off, Violet confronts her reawakened sexual longing after years of abstinence following the death of her husband. Meanwhile, Violet's own desire triggers Agatha to look back on a past love, as we see her passionate affair with Violet's father Lord Ledger unfold in the flashback timeline.
She explains to an initially nonplussed Agatha:"My husband and I had a garden. A luscious garden with many varieties of flowers. When he died the garden died. Lately, without warning, the garden has begun to bloom." Like a threatening demon lurking under the bed, Violet warns that her garden now"wants things". As if the various green-fingered metaphors weren't good enough, Violet then serves up the instantly iconic line:"I almost asked a footman to lie on top of me today." Good for you Violet! But she later tries to backtrack her so-called"outburst", begging Agatha to forget the entire thing.
Agatha reassures Violet in a moving monologue, which sees her hit on the truth of their roles so far in theuniverse, as pawns for"social chatter and marital schemes". She tells Violet:"We are full of gossip and story, but as women, we are never the topics of the conversation. Lady Whistledown never writes of our hearts. We are untold stories."
