[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is that where they make up a fake black ancestry for Charlotte to make the woke people happy?[/quote]

What are you babbling about? It's fiction.[/quote]

King George III and his wife Queen Charlotte are real people. Charlotte was a German princess with a thoroughly German ancestry. For some reason she is black in Bridgerton. [/quote]

Just wait until you find out that there wasn’t really a Lady Whistledown.[/quote]

I know it's fiction but I find the concept weird. Taking real people and changing their racial heritages to portray a world that never existed and, in real life, was highly racist and classist. [/quote]

It’s all fake. In that time period none of the women would have dared be so opinionated, talking back to men etc. In those days women were basically property and talking back would have gotten you hit, etc.[/quote]

For many women yes, but not all women were treated so poorly. There were some women who were actually opinionated. Outside of Bridgerton, history shows that Queen Charlotte was like Nancy Reagan. She ran the country, but led the country believe her husband was running it. [/quote]

This is flat out untrue. Charlotte didn’t “run the country” in any way shape or form. Just finished a biography of George III - and it’s clear that she was a profoundly dutiful wife who almost NEVER voiced an opinion that opposed her husbands views. She was a product of her times. This idea of the strong outspoken 18th century English woman is primarily fantasy - not saying there may not have been a rare outlier but Charlotte was not one of these[/quote]
