'Queen Charlotte'

60#2023 Queen Charlotte & Shondra Rhimes - Queen Charlotte
De serie heb ik deels gezien, maar soms is het leuker om het te lezen. De beelden vul je in naar wat je gezien hebt en dan is het toch een stukje completer.
De geschiedenis van George III en zijn Queen mag dan ietsje anders zijn gegaan, het is een amusante fantasie. De draai met 'het experiment' en de daarop ingestelde casting voor de serie is een aardige vondst.

A novel of Bridgerton's Queen Charlotte and King George III's great love story and how it sparked a societal shift, inspired by the original series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, created by Shondaland for Netflix. 'We are one crown. His weight is mine, and mine is his . . .'
In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent . . . not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she needed, because George had secrets . . . secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy. Thrust into her new role as a royal, Charlotte must learn to navigate the intricate politics of the court . . . all the while guarding her heart, because she is falling in love with the King, even as he pushes her away. Above all she must learn to rule, and to understand that she has been given the power to remake society. She must fight - for herself, for her husband, and for all her new subjects who look to her for guidance and grace. For she will never be just Charlotte again. She must instead fulfil her destiny . . . as Queen.
