Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story review
Created by: Shonda Rhimes
Rating: That’s hot 🔥
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is the spin-off series that revolves around Queen Charlotte in her younger years. She’s on her way to marry a King she doesn’t know in a foreign land she has never been to. This TV mini-series takes us on a journey of Queen Charlotte’s rise to power and how she becomes the woman she is in Bridergton, and also the love story between herself and King George.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is a wonderfully brilliant, beautifully tragic, and heartwarming Bridgerton spin-off mini-series. I loved every moment of this TV show, even more so than Bridgerton itself. What drew my attention more to this series, and why I loved it so much, was that it was based loosely on the real story of King George III and Queen Charlotte. I wish we got more of young Queen Charlotte and King George instead of a mini-series. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed this spectacular story of how Queen Charlotte became the Queen Charlotte some of us know and love from Bridgerton. I quite liked not only seeing Queen Charlotte in her younger years but it was fun seeing Lady Danbury and Lady Violet as well.
The acting is incredible, and my hat is off to both actors who play the younger versions of King George and Queen Charlotte, India Amarteifio, and Corey Mylchreest. I have to say the likeness between India Amarteifio and Golda Rosheuvel (older Queen Charlotte) is uncanny; they chose the perfect actress for the role. This TV mini-series has the same grandeur/exquisite set and costume designs as the Bridgerton series and it is set in a beautiful filming location. The production, cinematography, and music are all amazing. The choreographed dances throughout the show were exquisite alongside the musical score.
This story tells us the sad tale of King George's illness and how Queen Charlotte and King George dealt with it and became a strong couple because of it. There were some heartwarming and funny moments, and what I liked most about the storyline was that it gave us a more realistic look at the love and trials of relationships and marriages. I wish I could have had more of this beautiful story and that it went on for longer, but I will definitely get back to watching it a second time around.
