A significant portion of the "Queen Charlotte" TV series is set in the present day, immediately after the events of the second season of "Bridgerton." The present-day plot focuses on Charlotte's single-minded drive to get her children married so they can have a legitimate heir and carry on the royal line, following the death of the prince regent's only daughter (and the only legitimate grandchild of the royal household).
In the books, this storyline is almost nonexistent, except for bookends at the beginning and end. The prologue narrates the death of Princess Charlotte in childbirth. The epilogue is almost word for word the final scene of the TV show, with Charlotte going to see George to tell him they have a grandchild (the future Queen Victoria, in fact) on the way and to reminisce briefly about their own love story.
