Netflix’s ‘Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story really hit the mark but there was one major factual inaccuracy

With the popularity of the two Bridgerton series, it’s no surprise that people have been loving the new instalment of the Bridgerton universe. The highly anticipated show, released on Netflix on May 4, logged nearly 150 million viewing hours in its first week and is currently in the top spot on the Top 10 TV shows on the streaming service.

With a synopsis of ‘Young Queen Charlotte's marriage to King George of England sparks an epic love story and transforms high society in this "Bridgerton" universe prequel’ Netflix has given Bridgerton fans the background story fans have been wanting for nearly two years. If you haven’t watched the show yet, or are yet to finish the six episodes, I would stop reading now as this will include some plot spoilers.

Set in Great Britain during the Regency Era, we follow the story of a young Charlotte Macklenburg-Strelitz as she leaves her home country to become Queen of England and all the title involves. The show provides parallels between the life of the King and Queen when they first met and the time of the original Bridgerton series.
