Bridgerton: 10 Badass Quotes By Queen Charlotte That Prove She’s The Queen Bee
While Queen Charlotte is a minor character compared to the likes of Anthony and Kate in Bridgerton, she had some of the most badass quotes on Netflix.
Earlier this month, Adjoa Andoh (Lady Danbury) told TV Line that she and Ruth Gemmell (Violet Bridgerton) will reprise their roles in the Bridgerton spinoff that revolves around Golda Rosheuvel’s Queen Charlotte. It’s said that viewers will see how the queen became friends with Lady Bridgerton and Lady Danbury and how their youths shaped their adulthoods.
“I Wish To Be Entertained!”
At the start of season 1, Queen Charlotte chose Daphne Bridgerton as that season’s Diamond — the best of the best. But when Daphne took her time with Simon, the queen got angry that it was taking so long for an engagement.
“While You May Be Content To Accept Defeat, It Is Certainly Not How I Approach Things.”
Since the duke was taking his time courting Daphne in season 1, Queen Charlotte took matters into her own hands. She didn’t want the ton to think her chosen Diamond wasn’t as desirable as she set her out to be.
“You Are Wise, But Perhaps Unusually Lucky To Understand Friendship To Be The Best Possible Foundation A Marriage Can Have.”
In ‘The Duke and I,’ the queen had no choice but to accept defeat when Simon finally proposed to Daphne. Due to someone seeing Daphne and Simon kiss in the gardens, the two were in a rush to get married and needed a special marriage license to avoid scandal.
“Perhaps She Realized Taking On Her Queen Was A Bad Idea, And She Will Never Publish Again.”
At the start of season 2, Bridgerton fans found out that Lady Whistledown had been quiet since the end of the spring season. Although Whistledown was entertaining, she spread rumors and secrets that could one day catch up to the queen.
“Perhaps You Might Put Forth False Rumors So That When Whistledown Prints Them, We Will Be Able To Trace The Origins.”
In season 2’s ‘The Choice,’ Anthony and Edwina’s wedding day was approaching. While viewers were wondering who Anthony was going to pick (Edwina or her sister Kate), the queen was still focused on the scandalous sheets provided by Lady Whistledown.
“I Am Your Queen, But I Suppose Even I Must Recognize The Importance Of Each Person Deciding What To Do In The Face Of True Love…”
In this swoon-worthy quote said by the queen, she had no choice but to swallow her pride when Anthony and Edwina called off their wedding. The queen was offended, of course, because she hosted the wedding and had the event on her grounds, but who was she to tell someone who to love?
“As Low As You Can Go, Lady Danbury?”
It’s not outwardly said but Lady Danbury was one of Queen Charlotte’s closest friends and confidants. They conversed about Lady Whistledown but they mainly talked about that season’s “it” couple.
Despite their friendship and trust, Queen Charlotte is still a queen. She had the higher rank and title, which meant Lady Danbury had to abide. As Lady Danbury kneeled in front of her to show her respect, Charlotte didn’t let her get away with a lazy curtsy. She asked Lady Danbury if that was as low as she could go, to which Lady Danbury replied “With these knees, yes, your Majesty.”
“Am I To Believe You Truly Long For Sweet Pickles And Sauerkraut?”
The queen’s nephew was the Prince of Prussia and planning on going back home after his attempt at wooing Daphne failed. Charlotte was bothered by the entire situation and was angry when her nephew said goodbye.
Instead of admitting defeat and accepting that Daphne chose Simon instead of royalty, she insulted her nephew by saying “Am I to believe you truly long for sweet pickles and sauerkraut” before he was ready to leave. Because the prince is single, fans are hoping he comes back in season 3 of Bridgerton.
“Make Way! Must You All Act Like Sheep Flocking To The Trough?”
As queen, Charlotte was able to speak her mind without consequences. Some of the things she said were insulting but there was always an underlayer of humor to her remarks.
In the first season when the entire ton strolled the promenade, Daphne and Simon were the talk of the town after getting married. The queen wanted to speak to the newly married couple but had a hard time getting to them with so many people around. She hilariously compared everyone to sheep as she approached them and asked them about potential children.
“When Those Persons Inevitably Reveal Themselves And Their Rather Sly Intentions I Simply Ask That You Tell Me Who They Are so That I May Decide If They Are Worthy, Of Course.”
After choosing Edwina Sharma as season 2’s Diamond, Queen Charlotte showed her and her sister Kate around her palace’s grounds with Lady Danbury. Edwina and Kate became two of the more likable characters because of their wisdom and down-to-earth personalities.
