Why Queen Charlotte & King George Could Be Bridgerton’s Best Romance

Why Queen Charlotte & King George Could Be Bridgerton’s Best Romance

Bridgerton has plenty of iconic romances, but the teaser trailer for Queen Charlotte shows its spinoff could tell the best Bridgerton love story yet.

Netflix’s Bridgerton has provided viewers with swoon-worthy love stories during its run, but its upcoming spinoff Queen Charlotte could have the best Regency romance in the series. Serving as a prequel to Bridgerton (originally based on Julia Quinn’s book series), Queen Charlotte will follow the titular monarch during her romance with King George and rise to prominence. Although Bridgerton has hinted at Queen Charlotte’s origins, Charlotte and her love story will take center stage in the prequel spinoff.

The love stories in Bridgerton’s first two seasons have proven to be some of Netflix’s most iconic. However, after the prequel’s great teaser trailer, Queen Charlotte might give Bridgerton a run for its money. Featuring several beloved Bridgerton characters and a high-stakes love story for the ages, Queen Charlotte’s romance might be the best in Bridgerton yet.

Bridgerton’s Charlotte & George Romance Can Beat The Main Series Couples


While the Bridgerton family’s love stories over the course of the titular Netflix series have been extremely compelling, Queen Charlotte and King George’s romance has the potential to beat them all if the Shondaland prequel’s teaser trailer is any indicator. The intense chemistry between the two in Queen Charlotte’s trailer is palpable, especially in the more intimate scenes the trailer teased. After the romance between Anthony and Kate in Bridgerton season 2, which was more of a slow burn than steamy as season 1’s romance was, this dynamic between Charlotte and George will be exciting and invigorating for the new series.

Queen Charlotte’s central romance also has the potential to outdo Bridgerton because of the added weight it holds. In Bridgerton season 1, Lady Danbury foreshadows the importance of Queen Charlotte and King George’s union, which reshaped their society. Her younger self does so again in the prequel’s trailer, stating, “You are the first of your kind. You must secure your position.” This gives the romance between the monarchs in Queen Charlotte even larger stakes. Although there is usually some risk involved in the Bridgerton love stories, the significant nature of Queen Charlotte’s romance has the potential to transcend them all.

Why Queen Charlotte’s Love Story Has A Spinoff Advantage
Sometimes spinoffs can create pressure to live up to the original, but for Queen Charlotte, being a spinoff is a huge advantage. Each season of its original series, Bridgerton, always focuses on one central romance, but since Bridgerton is an ensemble show featuring the whole titular family, the love story always has to share time with the other characters’ plots. However, because Queen Charlotte has a smaller central cast, it can focus more on the main love story between Charlotte and George. This is huge for the upcoming Netflix show, giving Queen Charlotte the potential to tell one of the best love stories in the Bridgerton universe.
