The Duke’s Swoon-Worthy Speech to the Queen | Bridgerton
/ netflixuk
The eight close-knit siblings of the Bridgerton family look for love and happiness in London high society. Inspired by Julia Quinn's bestselling novels.

[@stillwatchingnetflix]

_💕The young lady flatters me, but it was not love at first sight for either of us. There was attraction, certainly, at least on my part. But Miss Bridgerton thought me presumptuous, arrogant, insincere. All fair, really. And I thought her a prim young lady barely out of leading strings. Not to mention the sister of my best friend, and so romance was entirely out of the question for both of us. But in so removing it, we found something far greater. We found friendship. You see, Miss Bridgerton and I have been fooling all of Mayfair for quite some time. We have fooled them into thinking we are courting… when really, all along, we simply enjoyed each other’s company so much we could not stay away from one another. I have never been a man that much enjoyed flirting, or chatting, or, indeed, talking at all. But with Daphne…Miss Bridgerton… conversation has always been easy. Her laughter brings me joy. To meet a beautiful woman is one thing, but to meet your best friend in the most beautiful of women is something entirely apart. And it is with my sincerest apologies, I must say it took the Prince coming along for me to realise I did not want Miss Bridgerton to only be my friend, I wanted her to be my wife. I want her to be my wife. And so I plead with you… not to make us wait.💕_

[@victoriaburroughs8399]

Ikr! She could smell the bullshit Daphne was spouting from a mile away and would’ve sent them both away without a second thought. It’s only when the Duke overcomes his stubborn pride and pours his heart and all his affection for Daphne for the entire court to see that she decides to approve the marriage. The queen understands more than anyone how friendship and mutual respect and commitment are essential to any successful marriage and desired to seem that same commitment from the pair in front of her. Awesome! ❤️

Same here. I think the moment the duke spoke she recognized something, something she herself once experienced.

[@ivylin5960]

I love Golda's acting here. Really showed the softness underneath the prickly exterior. And now that we've seen QC, this scene hits differently. Charlotte loves love because love is the only thing that's sustained her through some very trying times in her marriage.

[@RK-kj1ze]

ahh this scene was so meaningful and important, and it's even more impactful when you factor in simon's long-standing issues with his stammer. this is not really touched upon much after episode 2 in the show (as they had a lot of things going on), but in the book, Simon's stammer never really went away fully, and that was part of the reason why he avoided social gatherings as well. The book notes (through dialoguing) that in stressful times, the stammer comes out, forcing Simon to pause and take active steps to regain his verbal footing. To be clear, this speech to the queen does NOT exist in the books, but I think it's a wonderful and necessary addition. Simon's confession to the queen is not only romantic but also an indication of how being with Daphne gives him the comfort of having someone to talk to and having that conversation be easy. He's really a dude who had resigned himself to a life of loneliness - a decision that was very much trauma-informed, but his decision nonetheless. And hearing him declare to the queen of all people that he has found someone who brings him joy... makes me emo lol.

The pain she had on her face with the dinner with the King was absolutely superb! You could really feel her character’s emotions, and almost feel exactly what Queen Charlotte must have felt back then with a husband who was losing his mind.

The queens words “even if that foundation is to crumble as quickly as it is built “ Love is courage. The understanding that you’ll give your best shot even though there’s no certainty it will last.

As a guy, I absolutely love the Duke. Here, he is straightforward and how could you not like him? I just wish somebody could have talked to him and simply told him you can be a different father than your own one was, which I think is hinted at in his friendship with his boxing friend Will Mondrich, especially when he smiles at his family while lifting his child. He's noble for not wanting to carry on the lineage of his terrible father but he has to realize he can also create a whole new one and change the meaning of his name too.

Holy mackerel, what a beautiful speech! Thoroughly convincing for the characters, and viewers as well. Wonderfully acted by all concerned; not a wasted word, gesture, or look. The writing, direction, and editing were immaculate. All of this capped off by Kris Bowers emotional underscore. The only other time I've seen a comparable and so moving expression of love from one character to another was 'Somewhere In Time'. Although I may be as far from this show's demographic as one could get, it completely charmed and touched me. Idealistically, 'Bridgerton' conveys everything I've always wanted to see in series and movies. It is unique. Everyone, every single individual should be proud of this entertaining and special program they've been involved in creating.

I am not the type of person that cries easily, especially when it comes to movies and series, but something about this scene made me so emotional.

Regé-Jean Page. “He’s one of those old-school actors,” says Kirby. “He can sing, he can dance, he can act, he can do it all. He writes. He’s just an artist. It’s not so common to come across real artists, especially in our generation.” (Excerpt from an article).

This was my favorite scene of season 1 🥲 the speech and the way he delivers it 😭 “And so I plead with you; not to make us wait.” And the music 🤌🏻

[@jacquelineplaatjies9052]

This is such a raw, true and beautiful 😍 speech by the Duke

[@eves0195]

This scene gives me chills 🥲❤️🥲❤️

[@davidbowen5476]

Probably the best speech I've ever heard to provide the words on how one feels about someone else.

[@chasetaylor8362]

We found friendship. Gives me the chills

[@seirrasky3581]

When I first saw this and he was like “ IT WAS NOT LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT”. I was like WTF R U DOING! Ur gonna mess it up! And after his speech I was all.... tHaT wAs bEaTifull🥺

It was telling Simon saying what is in his heart without saying how much he loved Daphne

[@rocky1pa]

...can you find a single milisecond you would wish to change in this scene. The subtle nuances of expression...watch Simon's face as Daphne initially explains and then, as he interrupts and jumps in. Watch her facial expressions....his commitment in his candid comments. Notice how her Mother reaches out to Lady DanBury and rests her hand on her arm. This is simply superb acting...taking it to a level of true ownership of character. They enrobe and give life to these characters like a second skin. Watch the Queen's expressions...so subtle as she talks of a friendship she and her husband had and have lost to his madness. This is not simply a Netflix drama...this is a masters class of actors. I believe this is what draws us back...and will continue to draw us back to this series. Perfection. Superb. Their hard work and enjoyment - simply stunning. Stunning on all levels.

The scene is PERFECTION.

Season 1 was a masterpiece.

[@yanicallu2001]

This scene.., wow. Had me in tears. I nominated Rege and Phoebe to play all romantic couples from here on.., they have us captivated. 🔥💎🎉💫

[@Charles-mu9ji]

The way they say their names Simon & Daphne is such great acting along with their facial expressions. To beautiful young actors but also they picked some who have acting chops not just pretty faces.

You will find your own Simon Bassett. When you expected the least. That s when trully amazing things happens.

[@Friend_of_dragons]

I know fictional characters have given me way way to high standards for my men. No, wonder I am still single. 🤔😂😂

[@teawarrior]

The talk in the bedroom after their wedding is great, but this one THIS ONE! The tears I shed when he said "to meet your best friend in the most beautiful of women is something entirely apart" MY HEART 😭
