By the time "Bridgerton" rolls around, Queen Charlotte (played by Golda Rosheuvel) is a settled monarch with enormous influence. She loves gossip and hates being one-upped by anyone, especially the mysterious Lady Whistledown, but beneath her imperious demeanour is a soft heart and a genuine love for seeing people fall in love, as it reminds her of her own bittersweet love story. As her husband's condition continues to deteriorate (breaking her heart in the process), she's forced to turn to more practical matters, like ensuring that her many children make proper marriages and have legitimate heirs to carry on the royal line.
