The spin-off series follows the young Queen's rise to prominence and power after marrying King George, and tells a deeper story of how they fell in love amid George's worsening illness.

Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that throughout the series – and the Bridgerton seasons that came before it – Charlotte continues to wear gowns in the Georgian style despite the changing fashion trends.
Queen Charlotte moves into Regency-era London in its later scenes, this was a period that saw women opt for much simpler garments with empire waists and less dramatic silhouettes.
However, you will see the Queen donning more elaborate ensembles evoking the traditional Georgian style, with corseted gowns and large wigs.
Fans have theorised that Charlotte continues to dress in this style in an attempt to not confuse her husband; remaining more familiar to King George – our hearts!
I've been bawling my eyes out since I've heard the theory saying that queen charlotte still wears extravagant wigs and gowns of the georgian era, even during the bridgerton regency era where everyone wore much simpler dresses just so that it wouldn't confuse george. 😭
