Queen Charlotte of Great Britain & Ireland (minisode)
from Matilda’s Top Women In History
Queen Charlotte was hand-picked King George 3rd to be his Queen, and she proved to be a good choice. Her steady sense of duty helped keep the Kingdom together when her husband was incapacitated and her subjects were restless. Recently made more famous thanks to the series ‘Bridgerton’ Charlotte was not unlike her character on the show - dignified and keen on protocol. However she loved her husband and was highly distressed at his ongoing illness.
