The Bridgerton prequel series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story tells the fictionalized tale of the young queen, who very much was a very real-life historical figure.
Queen Charlotte was married to King George III for 57 years. During the Bridgerton prequel series, the timeline occasionally shifts to the present-day Bridgerton timeline, where we reunite with the older Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) and her brood of kids.
So how many kids did the real Queen Charlotte have in her lifetime? Who are the actors playing the older versions of her many, many kids in the Bridgerton prequel on Netflix?
Here’s what to know.
Though only 13 of her children survived into adulthood, Queen Charlotte had 15 kids in total:
George (born in 1762), Frederick (born in 1763), William (born in 1765), Charlotte (born in 1766), Edward (born in 1767), Augusta (born in 1768), Elizabeth (born in 1770), Ernest (born in 1771), Augustus (born in 1773), Adolphus (born in 1774), Mary (born in 1776), Sophia (born in 1777), Octavius (born in 1779), Alfred (born in 1880), and Amelia (born in 1783).
Sadly, Octavius and Alfred died as toddlers.
Below, we take a look at the actors in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story portraying the older versions of Queen Charlotte’s children on the small screen.
Prince Frederick
Felix Brunger made a fun post on his Instagram page (you can follow him @felix_brunger) joking how he could finally post about his role as Queen Charlotte’s second-born child, Prince Frederick, after the IMDb page for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story was updated with all of the actors playing Queen Charlotte’s kids.
Prior to his role on the Netflix series, Felix had roles in multiple short films including Okay, Mum.
