Queen Charlotte Shows What Bridgerton Cannot
Bridgerton season 3 may bring Agatha and Violet’s relationship full circle, but the main series cannot dive deep into these stories like Queen Charlotte did. To get the full picture of Lady Danbury’s past, it isvital to watch Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. This is especially true when it comes to Agatha’s bond with Lord Ledger. Bridgerton season 3 provides very little by way of explaining their relationship. However, Queen Charlotte gets up close and personal. Audiences can see the affair take place in real time. Despite the complications it causes, Agatha and Ledger’s romance is an enjoyable one.
Overall, this is what makes Lady Danbury and Violet’s conversation in season 3 so smart. There is incredible satisfaction in seeing Agatha and Violet overcome this years-long secret, but the scene also urges those who haven’t watched Queen Charlotte to give it a try. Queen Charlotte may be a spinoff, but Bridgerton has now proven that it is just as integral as any regular season of the period drama. There are stories and scenes that can only be seen via Queen Charlotte. After Bridgerton season 3, there is hope that the franchise will continue referencing Queen Charlotte in the future.
Why Lady Danbury Hated Her Brother Makes Less Sense Without Queen Charlotte
Queen Charlotte Provides A Connection
Although Lady Danbury and Marcus’ Bridgerton season 3 story had much more context than Violet’s did, Queen Charlotte is still vital to understanding the situation. To Bridgerton viewers, Lady Danbury’s grudge against Marcus may seem like a harsh overreaction. It was so many years ago, and he was just a child. However, the reality of the situation is laid out perfectly in Queen Charlotte. In the spinoff, audiences see the miserable existence Agatha lived while married to Lord Danbury. In this context, Agatha’s grudge makes way more sense. Queen Charlotte helps connect the present with the past.
In the end, Bridgerton season 3 has confirmed that Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story was not just a one-off series. The stories of Queen Charlotte’s cast could continue to come up with each new Bridgerton season. Violet, Charlotte, and Brimsley could each have their history brought back up. Therefore, if Bridgerton continues alluding to Queen Charlotte, viewers have much more of a reason to watch the spinoff. Bridgerton is on its way to creating a larger television universe, and if more spinoffs are on the way, then watching all of them may be necessary.
