She wasn’t trying to wipe off her mole she thought she was wearing dark makeup because she wasn’t expecting charlotte to be that brown.

[@julesking1303]

I know that this is an old comment, but she very easily could’ve also been trying to wipe off the mole, because back in the day there was a fashion trend of putting makeup over any blemishes on your skin to make them look like moles. This was unfortunately linked to women who would do this to cover up the sores that would develop on their skin after being infected with syphilis. I read a lot of historical fiction, and while I’m sure in the show it was not done specifically to reference this trend, but it was my primary thought when I first saw this scene, and it made me want that Queen Mother to kick bricks

[@watertulips]

I was so shocked with how much better this was than the original Bridgerton like I was not expecting it.

[@Pillowlips77]

Why would you be shocked though? The previous 2 were based on books and this series of books are generally shite

[@daisykisses8803]

I was. After I saw the trailer, I knew it was gonna be really good

[@kordei-7839]

It’s better because Shonda Rhymes wrote it

[@geraldking9385]

​@@kordei-7839 shonda didn't write the others? This is her show

[@AnxietyRat]

​@@kordei-7839 she wrote this show in conjunction with the author of the original books. And they're going to be releasing the book that this season was based off of...very soon, if I recall correctly. So this season was technically ALSO based off of a book... the book just hasn't been released yet.

[@Collsy100]

Cheat sheet: #1 Princess Charlotte, the Princess of Wales and only legitimate grandchild of George III and Queen Charlotte, died giving birth. The man weeping about it is her father, Prince George (later George IV). George and Queen Charlotte had 15 children, but only 13 survived to adulthood. #2 This period is called The Regency because George III eventually succumbed to mental illness (depending on who you ask, it could have been bipolar disorder or porphyria) and his eldest son, Prince George, had to rule as regent in his stead. Queen Charlotte still wielded a lot of power, though. #3 Charlotte's sons are all playboys with mistresses (scandalous commoners and married noblewomen) and a shit ton of illegitimate babies. The daughters are all spinsters because Charlotte and George kept them under lock and key (way too protective). In the show, though, they just make the girls seem like it was their idea to not get married rather than the king and queen's mistake. #4 When Princess Charlotte died in childbirth, there were no legitimate grandchildren to inherit the throne. Queen Charlotte forced some of her sons into marriages with foreign princesses to force them to give her a grandchild, loveless marriages or not. Two of Queen Charlotte's three eldest sons would each get a turn being king (the other died before he could), but each would die childless. The fourth son, Prince Edward, was married to Princess Victoria. They would produce the future Queen Victoria, though Prince Edward would die when she was still a baby and never get to see her success. #5 The woman inspecting young Charlotte is Princess Augusta. Her husband/young George's dad Prince Frederick died before he and Augusta could be crowned. George II's crown (Prince Frederick's dad) was therefore passed on to his grandson, George III, instead. Augusta was never queen as a result (she was skipped over without her husband alive to claim it himself), but she was mother of the king, which still had its own level of power. #6 She was not wiping off Charlotte's mole, she was checking to see if she was just wearing dark makeup. In the show, she knew Charlotte had Moor ancestry (a term for northern African people at the time), but hadn't thought it would be so obvious to see. In reality, Charlotte did very likely have a Moor ancestor, but they were from like 12 generations before her, so it would have been too diluted for it to matter in her genetics. However, the show's re-imagining of history is super cool and wonderfully inclusive! *Edited

[@menonra30]

only point of info, its Charlotte's 2 sons not three that become king after George III. George IV and his brother William IV. Their 2nd son Frederick died before his brother George IV. Otherwise excellent cheat sheet!

[@KylaTalks]

Some of this stuff is answered in the show. I think this should have been posted under like episode 3 or 4.

[@Collsy100]

@@menonra30 Thanks! Editing it now.

[@applemoneroy7371]

🚨 Spoiler alert!! 🚨

[@xwinwinwinx]

​​​​​​​​​@@Collsy100 almost all correct except you stated that the Princess of Wales, Caroline died in child birth. This is not correct. Her daughter Charlotte did. George IV was the eldest son of Queen Charlotte and George III and he married Caroline making them the Prince and Princess of Wales. They had one child, a daughter Princess Charlotte of Wales who died in childbirth along with the unborn child (this is who we see dead in the show and her father George IV is crying over her body) She therefore was Queen Charlotte and King George III granddaughter. The show was wrong to call her the Princes Royal though. This is incorrect as this title is bestowed to the eldest daughter of the Monarch and lasts a life time. Therefore, at this time, the Princess Royal was Queen Charlotte and King George III eldest daughter, also called Charlotte (confusing I know). She was married to the King of Wurttemburg but she had no children (kept miscarrying). This Charlotte's official title was Charlotte, Princess Royal and Queen of Wurttemburg. And the Charlotte who died in childbirth was her nice and was Princess Charlotte of Wales. (lots of Charlottes! We have Queen Charlotte of the United Kingdom married to King George III and their daughter Charlotte, the Princess Royal and Queen of Wurttemburg, and then in the next generation we have Princess Charlotte of Wales the granddaughter of Queen Charlotte and King George III) This therefore sparked a sucession crisis as Princess Charlotte of Wales was the only legitimate heir and therefore successor to the throne. Now that she died there were no heirs because Caroline, Princess of Wales was now too old to bear children (and divorce wasn't an option back then) so George IV line had died with his daughter Princess Charlotte of Wales, and none of his siblings (Queen Charlotte and King George III's children) had any legitimate heirs. Several sons had many illegitimate children (so didn't qualify to be in the line of sucession) and out of the 5 daughters 1 had died, and I believe 2 were married at the time of the succession crisis in 1817 but none of the daughters had any children. 3 of them married quite late in life so too old to bear children and 1 married in her 30s (the eldest, Charlotte the Princess Royal and Queen of Wurrtemburg) but she didn't have any children either (I believe she kept miscarrying). So it was up to the unmarried sons to find respectable wives and produce an heir. Which Prince Edward did and fathered Queen Victoria! So I guess it all worked out in the end.

Fun fact about the actors who play young George and young lady Danbury these roles are there very first acting jobs. They are just out of acting school. And the princess who died was her granddaughter and her great granddaughter. The child of her son who was crying

[@fleurgi]

I thought it was her husband at first (The Princess Royals) but it is her father the Prince Regent.

[@laurajaynenolan2149]

Yes, his daughter and grandchild.

[@xwinwinwinx]

​​@@fleurgi The show was wrong to call Princess Charlotte of Wales (granddaughter of Queen Charlotte and King George III) the Princess Royal as this title was bestowed to their eldest daughter Charlotte the Princess Royal and Queen of Wurttenburg who was the only one of their daughters to be married. And this title is bestowed by the Monarch (not automatically given) to the Monarch's eldest daughter and lasts a life time so wouldn't be passed on to the Monarch's eldest daugher until after the current Princess Royal died.

@@tink6225 that's fair. I just wanted to point it out in case anyone was confused as the Princes Royal is also called Charlotte along with her niece, Princess Charlotte of Wales (the one who died in childbirth).

This series is so much deeper than brigertons

[@hadassahalbert9814]

Also so glad Rob said he looks like a long lost Franco brother because i said the SAME THING 😂🎉❤

[@scottish_rachelle]

For historical context: King George the Third and Queen Charlotte had 15 children but lost two young sons when they were only a few years old each. The princess in the coffin was their granddaughter, the only heir to the throne as the daughter of their eldest son George the Fourth (the man who was crying beside her deathbed). She died in childbirth. As for the main plot of the present day, the Queen has to find a resolution to the lack of an heir to the throne as her many children have struggled to bare children and/or have provided many illegitimate children (babies born out of wedlock). Hope this helps those of you needing clarification😊

[@Pestopasta_]

Whose Simon? He’s on our wall Took me out😂

[@VeeEll_]

The child that The King and Queen had who passed away was Amelia (George used to call her Emily). Word is that she was his favourite child and when she passed away is when he lost his sanity entirely. Their story is so tragic and makes me tear up without fail everytime

[@laurajaynenolan2149]

7:39 grand daughter and her baby, the man crying was the father of the girl that died, grandfather of the baby (and son of Queen Charlotte).

[@thatgirlinokc3975]

I love how invested y'all are in the characters. Shonda Rhimes is an extremely talented writer. I'm so excited to see how this series goes.

[@booknerd_charlie]

I loved this so much more than the previous two seasons. There’s so much more depth and complexity to the characters, and the story is so beautiful and so tragic (seriously, have tissues handy). Looking forward to the rest of your reactions

[@erikperhs_]

I think the reason for that is because they didn't have a book to follow so Shonda probably wrote a lot more of the story.

It was her grand-daughter and granddaughter’s baby that died. Her son(george IV) named after her husband (king George III) was the one she was consoling that was crying next to the casket. He is the father of the pregnant princess that died. She was the only legitimate grandchild. Charlotte wanted more legitimate grandkids so their line of succession would be secure for next gen after her son George

[@tlahmed]

Wait really? How old is everyone supposed to be?

[@duhachowdhury3761]

@@tlahmed they aged them down significantly. All of her children should be in the 30s/40s and early 50s

5:16 They picked her because she 1. Protestant , 2. Young (that was one of George III actual requirements, he was rather overly possessive) and 3. Royal (Mecklenburg-Strelitz was only a Dukedom but she was still a princess). 4. Family connections, she was a distant cousin of George's mother Augusta.

[@garlantyrell6368]

You see, King George III and Queen Charlotte had 15 children overall, but only 13 survived to adulthood, as two of their sons died at a young age. The granddaughter of the King and Queen was Princess Charlotte, the only daughter of Prince George(King George III and Queen Charlotte’s eldest son and heir)and Princess Caroline, his actual wife. By the way, King George’s mother is named Dowager Princess Augusta. She’s played by Michelle Fairley, the same actress who played Catelyn Stark from GOT like you said earlier.

[@laurajaynenolan2149]

It’s so interesting watching this from the perspective of people who don’t know British history so don’t necessarily know who people are and who is next in line and stuff. Really great reaction guys 😊

[@tyneseee2350]

YESS i love this show already even though I haven’t finished s2 of bridgeton yet lol

[@fernandaparraguirre5237]

George is being genuine in the garden but also at the end there cause yeah, he is a nice charming dude, but that doesn't change the way the whole marriage situation is sus. Charlotte stays because of what she sees in George, but in the end she is still basically marrying into a chess game: she's somewhat aware she was chosen to be a pawn in whatever the monarchy is doing, and worst part is that what bothered her in the beginning is clearly still happening and is going to keep happening, her questions are still not being answered, now not just by the palace in general but also by George. It sets the scene very nicely though, we can see George is nice (or at least has a nice side) but also see the flaws and conflicts that he will hopefully overcome

[@CrazyPuertoricans111]

This is so good. It's probably my favorite
