Your Guide to the Handsome Sons and Beautiful Daughters in the Bridgerton Family

The widowed viscountess (Ruth Gemmell) has lost the love of her life, so now she devotes herself to being the best mother she can be. After her husband passes away, Violet invests her energy into finding spouses for her children, so that she can secure their futures. While pushy about finding her eldest daughter a suitor this courting season, she'll offer Daphne the occasional useful piece of wisdom on love and womanhood.

The eldest Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) is somewhat wayward, spending most of his days sneaking around with his lover, Siena. As the series develops, Anthony starts to realise his responsibilities as the technical head of the household, much to the chagrin of his younger siblings, who find him overprotective.

The sweet and playful Bridgerton son (Luke Newton) harbours dreams of travelling, facing no extraordinary pressure as the third son in the family.

Handpicked by Queen Charlotte and dubbed the season's diamond by Lady Whistledown, the eldest Bridgerton daughter (Phoebe Dynevor) is known as the pretty face of the family, but she possesses hidden depths (and a mean talent for the pianoforte). Anxious to secure her future with a reliable spouse, she has a handful of suitors interested in her, from the Queen's sweet nephew to the mysterious Duke of Hastings.

Headstrong like Jo March, Eloise (Claudia Jessie) doesn't need or want love, even if her mother plans to put her into the social scene soon. She cares deeply about her education and can usually be found reading or writing away. Immune to the heightened romance of spouse-finding season, the intellectually inclined Bridgerton sister is determined to find out Lady Whistledown's true identity.

Gregory (Will Tilston) and Hyacinth (Florence Hunt) are the babies of the family, adored by their siblings despite their tendencies to sneak around and cause a ruckus.
