00:00:21,438 --> 00:00:23,773
[Lady Whistledown] Dearest gentle reader.
2
00:00:23,773 --> 00:00:27,819
This is the story
of Queen Charlotte from Bridgerton.
3
00:00:27,819 --> 00:00:29,738
It is not a history lesson.
4
00:00:29,738 --> 00:00:32,949
It is fiction inspired by fact.
5
00:00:32,949 --> 00:00:37,954
All liberties taken
by the author are quite intentional.
6
00:00:38,580 --> 00:00:39,622
Enjoy.

00:00:46,421 --> 00:00:49,090

[upbeat instrumental music plays]

[indistinct conversation]

00:01:18,119 --> 00:01:20,080
[light laughter]
12
00:01:45,355 --> 00:01:47,816
[indistinct conversation]
13
00:02:17,011 --> 00:02:19,097
[music intensifies]
14
00:02:27,647 --> 00:02:29,899
[music recedes and builds steadily]

[theme music playing]
16
00:04:19,050 --> 00:04:20,218
{\an8}[man] Move it along now!
17
00:04:52,583 --> 00:04:54,127
You give the appearance of a statue.
18
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:55,962
Statues are works of art.
19
00:04:56,546 --> 00:04:57,547
Art is beautiful.
20
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:02,218
Art can be beautiful to gaze upon.
You are ridiculous to the eye.
21
00:05:02,218 --> 00:05:03,511
- Is there a point?
- [scoffs]
22
00:05:03,511 --> 00:05:06,264
You have not moved an inch in six hours.
23
00:05:06,264 --> 00:05:07,974
I am wearing Lyonnais silk,
24
00:05:07,974 --> 00:05:09,934
encrusted with Indian sapphires,
25
00:05:09,934 --> 00:05:12,979
working with overlay of 200-year-old lace.
26
00:05:14,272 --> 00:05:18,401
Apparently too much movement
can cause the sapphires to shred the lace.
27
00:05:18,401 --> 00:05:19,485
If that were not enough,
28
00:05:19,485 --> 00:05:22,196
the gown sits atop a bespoke underpinning
made of whalebone.
29
00:05:22,196 --> 00:05:23,281
Whalebone?
30
00:05:23,281 --> 00:05:26,200
Yes. Whalebone, Brother.
31
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,954
The bones of whales.
Whales died, so I could look like this.
32
00:05:30,538 --> 00:05:34,000
All the finest corsets are whalebone.
You'd know that if you knew anything.
33
00:05:34,500 --> 00:05:37,045
If you ever paid attention
you would also know that
34
00:05:37,045 --> 00:05:41,341
the problem with whalebone is that it is
rather delicate and also very, very sharp.
35
00:05:41,341 --> 00:05:45,011
And, of course, I'm in the height
of fashion, so this corset is quite snug.
36
00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:47,013
So I give the appearance of a statue,
37
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:49,682
ridiculous to the eye,
but that is because I cannot move.
38
00:05:49,682 --> 00:05:53,853
And because I must arrive on display,
I am forced into a ludicrous gown
39
00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:57,148
so stylish that if I move too much,
I might be sliced and stabbed to death
40
00:05:57,148 --> 00:05:58,566
by my undergarments.
41
00:05:59,108 --> 00:06:01,652
Oh, how joyful it is to be a lady.
42
00:06:04,155 --> 00:06:05,239
You are upset.
43
00:06:06,657 --> 00:06:08,493
'Tis a viable option I have considered.
44
00:06:10,620 --> 00:06:13,873
Moving. Choosing to be killed
by my undergarments.
45
00:06:13,873 --> 00:06:16,751
- Charlotte.
- We have what? An hour to go?
46
00:06:16,751 --> 00:06:18,795
I believe if I'm diligent
with my movements,
47
00:06:18,795 --> 00:06:21,923
I could most certainly bleed to my death
before we reach London.
48
00:06:21,923 --> 00:06:24,467
Like I said, you are upset.
49
00:06:24,467 --> 00:06:25,718
Emotional.
50
00:06:25,718 --> 00:06:28,554
- I understand--
-Do you understand? Truly?
51
00:06:29,138 --> 00:06:32,225
This I would love to hear
because I'm not upset, nor am I emotional.
52
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:34,352
I am angry, and I cannot breathe.
53
00:06:34,352 --> 00:06:37,063
- And both are thanks to you, Brother.
- Charlotte.
54
00:06:37,980 --> 00:06:38,856
You were chosen.
55
00:06:40,149 --> 00:06:41,150
This is a great honor.
56
00:06:41,150 --> 00:06:43,403
Oh, how difficult was it to be chosen?
57
00:06:44,112 --> 00:06:46,656
Someone who can make lots of babies.
Someone who can read.
58
00:06:46,656 --> 00:06:49,158
Someone with all the social graces,
with a royal bloodline.
59
00:06:49,158 --> 00:06:51,494
That is all they required.
It is not an honor.
60
00:06:51,494 --> 00:06:53,329
You could've told them
to choose someone else.
61
00:06:53,329 --> 00:06:54,705
Someone stupid enough to want it.
62
00:06:54,705 --> 00:06:56,999
They did not want someone stupid.
They wanted you.
63
00:06:56,999 --> 00:06:59,043
Adolphus, think! Why me?
64
00:06:59,836 --> 00:07:01,129
He could have anyone! Anyone!
65
00:07:01,129 --> 00:07:04,048
And yet they came hunting
all the way across the continent for me.
66
00:07:05,591 --> 00:07:07,593
- There is a reason for that.
- You are special.
67
00:07:07,593 --> 00:07:08,719
Special.
68
00:07:09,470 --> 00:07:11,097
I am a stranger to them.
69
00:07:11,097 --> 00:07:13,850
They are strangers to us.
You cannot think me this ignorant.
70
00:07:14,517 --> 00:07:16,936
There is reason
they wanted me, a stranger.
71
00:07:17,603 --> 00:07:19,605
- And it cannot be a good reason.
- [sighs]
72
00:07:19,605 --> 00:07:21,190
I know it cannot be a good reason
73
00:07:21,190 --> 00:07:24,735
because you have not looked me
in the eye since you told me.
74
00:07:24,735 --> 00:07:25,653
Just...
75
00:07:26,779 --> 00:07:27,864
[chuckles dryly]
76
00:07:28,823 --> 00:07:30,116
This is a good thing.
77
00:07:30,616 --> 00:07:31,909
You shall be happy.
78
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:37,081
Turn the carriage around.
I am not doing this.
79
00:07:37,081 --> 00:07:38,875
I signed the betrothal contract. You are.
80
00:07:38,875 --> 00:07:39,834
- No.
- Yes.
81
00:07:39,834 --> 00:07:42,462
Brother, turn the carriage around,
or I will bounce.
82
00:07:42,462 --> 00:07:46,466
I will bounce, and I will impale myself on
this ridiculous corset and bleed to death.
83
00:07:46,466 --> 00:07:47,550
Charlotte!
84
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,806
I know I should have taken a firmer hand
with you when Mama and Papa died.
85
00:07:53,806 --> 00:07:55,433
I allowed you to read too much,
86
00:07:55,433 --> 00:07:57,560
and I indulged
your every whim and frivolity,
87
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,148
so I take full responsibility for the fact
that you are now exceedingly headstrong
88
00:08:02,148 --> 00:08:04,650
and mistakenly think
you can make decisions.
89
00:08:05,234 --> 00:08:07,862
You cannot. I am in charge.
90
00:08:07,862 --> 00:08:09,822
- This is happening.
- I don't see why you--
91
00:08:09,822 --> 00:08:12,867
Because... they are the British Empire.
92
00:08:13,868 --> 00:08:16,245
And we are a tiny province in Germany.
93
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:19,874
We had no choice.
94
00:08:21,375 --> 00:08:22,710
I had no choice.
95
00:08:22,710 --> 00:08:24,795
[somber music plays]
96
00:08:28,925 --> 00:08:30,343
There is no good reason.
97
00:08:32,261 --> 00:08:35,890
In fact, the reason might be terrible.
98
00:08:37,850 --> 00:08:40,686
I know that no one
who looks like you or me
99
00:08:40,686 --> 00:08:43,481
has ever married one of these people ever,
100
00:08:43,481 --> 00:08:45,942
but I cannot question
101
00:08:45,942 --> 00:08:51,030
because I cannot make an enemy
of the most powerful nation on Earth.
102
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:54,492
It is done. So, shut up,
103
00:08:54,492 --> 00:08:58,246
do your duty to our country, and be happy.
104
00:09:06,170 --> 00:09:07,505
[sighs deeply]
105
00:09:08,798 --> 00:09:09,757
Liebchen.
106
00:09:16,764 --> 00:09:18,182
I am sorry,
107
00:09:18,182 --> 00:09:22,603
but there are worse fates
than marrying the King of England.
108
00:09:27,108 --> 00:09:27,984
Sit back.
109
00:09:28,901 --> 00:09:30,403
You are endangering my gown.
110
00:09:35,032 --> 00:09:37,868
I need to look perfect when I arrive,
do I not?
111
00:09:50,464 --> 00:09:52,466

[horses neigh]
113
00:10:36,802 --> 00:10:37,637
Well.
114

[doors creak]
115

- [wind whistling]
- [man huffs]
116
00:10:44,477 --> 00:10:45,436
Your Majesty.
117
00:10:46,062 --> 00:10:48,814
I am sorry to disturb you
at this hour with such news.
118
00:10:48,814 --> 00:10:51,859
- Shut up, Doctor, and talk. Is he dead?
- He?
119
00:10:52,693 --> 00:10:53,527
The King.
120
00:10:54,445 --> 00:10:55,780
- Is he dead?
- Oh, no.
121
00:10:56,364 --> 00:10:59,241
No, ma'am. Your husband is quite hearty.
122
00:10:59,241 --> 00:11:00,493
Long live the King.
123
00:11:04,538 --> 00:11:05,539
Have you no sense?
124
00:11:06,540 --> 00:11:09,335
It is treasonous
to interrupt my beauty sleep.
125
00:11:09,335 --> 00:11:11,962
- You're lucky my face is a rare jewel.
- Your Majesty.
126
00:11:11,962 --> 00:11:15,007
If I could still have people beheaded,
you would be in the queue.
127
00:11:15,007 --> 00:11:15,925
Your Majesty.
128
00:11:23,849 --> 00:11:25,810
Doctor, if the King is not dead...
129
00:11:28,646 --> 00:11:29,563
Who is?
130
00:11:29,563 --> 00:11:31,941
[tense music continues]
131
00:11:36,070 --> 00:11:38,906
[Lady Whistledown] Dearest gentle reader.
132
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,828
This coldest time of year
133
00:11:43,828 --> 00:11:46,288
has become that much colder
134
00:11:46,288 --> 00:11:50,251
with the sad news
of the death of the princess royal.
135
00:11:54,088 --> 00:11:58,008
The granddaughter
of our dear King George the Third
136
00:11:58,008 --> 00:12:02,680
and Queen Charlotte died in childbirth,
along with her baby.
137
00:12:02,680 --> 00:12:04,765
[sobbing heavily]
138
00:12:07,601 --> 00:12:10,604
Sorrows, sorrows. Prayers.
139
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,289
[Lady Whistledown]
And while our hearts grieve
140
00:12:28,289 --> 00:12:30,624
for the loss of the princess royal...
141
00:12:34,086 --> 00:12:36,088
our heads grieve more
142
00:12:36,088 --> 00:12:39,049
for the future of the monarchy itself.
143
00:12:42,678 --> 00:12:44,680

[melancholy music playing]
145
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:54,440
[Lady Whistledown] For the Crown
now has a crisis on its hands.
146
00:12:57,443 --> 00:13:02,364
A crisis one can only imagine
that Queen Charlotte must find galling
147
00:13:02,364 --> 00:13:05,701
after ruling over
the matchmaking efforts of the ton
148
00:13:05,701 --> 00:13:09,455
and the marriage mart
with such an iron fist.
149
00:13:13,042 --> 00:13:16,003
This author and all of England
150
00:13:16,003 --> 00:13:21,258
can only hope that Queen Charlotte
finally turns her matchmaking energies
151
00:13:21,258 --> 00:13:23,177
onto her own family.
152
00:13:26,931 --> 00:13:31,185
After all, her majesty has 13 children,
153
00:13:31,185 --> 00:13:35,272
and now,
not a royal heir from any of them.
154
00:13:36,607 --> 00:13:40,402
At least, not a legitimate one.
155
00:14:05,469 --> 00:14:07,805
It causes one to wonder.
156
00:14:08,597 --> 00:14:12,601
Is the queen's knowledge
of how to make a good marriage
157
00:14:12,601 --> 00:14:14,353
nothing but talk?
158
00:14:41,839 --> 00:14:44,592
Please be your most agreeable.
159
00:14:53,267 --> 00:14:55,269
[footsteps pacing slowly]
160
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:13,954
Teeth.
161
00:15:15,331 --> 00:15:16,206
Teeth.
162
00:15:19,251 --> 00:15:20,252
Mm-hmm.
163
00:15:21,462 --> 00:15:22,338
Hands.
164
00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:26,675
Mm-hmm.
165
00:15:27,343 --> 00:15:28,469
You have good hips.
166
00:15:30,179 --> 00:15:31,805
You will make lots of babies.
167
00:15:32,556 --> 00:15:33,974
That is good.
168
00:15:34,475 --> 00:15:36,477
That is your job.
169
00:15:37,061 --> 00:15:39,605
As many babies as possible for my son.
170
00:15:39,605 --> 00:15:40,814
Yes, Your Highness.
171
00:15:42,524 --> 00:15:45,319
Will I be introduced
to His Majesty soon or...
172
00:15:52,409 --> 00:15:53,285
Brimsley.
173
00:15:54,536 --> 00:15:57,456
Take Charlotte to the seamstress,
so we can have her gown fitted.
174
00:15:57,456 --> 00:16:00,209
Oh, no need. I brought my wedding gown.
175
00:16:00,209 --> 00:16:01,502
'Tis quite a perfect fit.
176
00:16:01,502 --> 00:16:03,963
But we have provided a gown for you.
177
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:07,216
My gown was designed
just for the wedding, in Paris.
178
00:16:07,216 --> 00:16:09,927
The lace is handmade by nuns.
179
00:16:09,927 --> 00:16:12,054
The modiste called it à la mode.
180
00:16:12,596 --> 00:16:15,724
Our gown is traditional. Simple.
181
00:16:16,433 --> 00:16:17,518
It will be better.
182
00:16:18,769 --> 00:16:19,770
Better?
183
00:16:19,770 --> 00:16:24,066
I have not seen
this other wedding dress you speak of,
184
00:16:24,650 --> 00:16:27,569
but a traditional English gown
185
00:16:27,569 --> 00:16:30,280
will not carry
all of the fuss and the frills
186
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:35,035
that the European gown
you currently have on does, for instance.
187
00:16:35,035 --> 00:16:36,996
The traditional gown will be more
188
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:40,499
in our fashion... for our family.
189
00:16:43,585 --> 00:16:44,420
Oh.
190
00:16:45,212 --> 00:16:47,089
Yes, of course.
191
00:16:49,216 --> 00:16:50,175
Hmm.
192
00:16:57,975 --> 00:16:59,018
[Charlotte exhales]
193
00:16:59,018 --> 00:17:00,269
Well done.
194
00:17:00,269 --> 00:17:02,604
And I shall see you at the ceremony.
195
00:17:02,604 --> 00:17:03,605
[Charlotte] No--
196
00:17:03,605 --> 00:17:05,858
[light whimsical music plays]
197
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:06,942
[Charlotte sighs]
198
00:17:42,269 --> 00:17:44,396
- Your Highness.
- Walk with me. I have questions.
199
00:17:44,396 --> 00:17:47,232
- That is not how it's done, Your Highness.
- What do you mean?
200
00:17:47,232 --> 00:17:49,526
You walk there,
and I walk back here, Your Highness.
201
00:17:49,526 --> 00:17:50,736
You cannot walk with me?
202
00:17:50,736 --> 00:17:53,572
I'm always with you, Your Highness,
five paces behind.
203
00:17:53,572 --> 00:17:55,407
- Five paces behind?
- Five paces behind.
204
00:17:55,407 --> 00:17:56,909
- Always?
- Always, Your Highness.
205
00:17:56,909 --> 00:18:00,496
You are always there,
behind me, just... all the time?
206
00:18:00,496 --> 00:18:02,998
- Whenever you need me, Your Highness.
- What is your name?
207
00:18:02,998 --> 00:18:04,291
Brimsley, Your Highness.
208
00:18:04,291 --> 00:18:06,668
Brimsley. Tell me about the King.
209
00:18:07,336 --> 00:18:08,837
He is the King, Your Highness.
210
00:18:08,837 --> 00:18:09,922
Yes.
211
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:12,049
- And?
- He is ruler of Great Britain and Ireland.
212
00:18:12,049 --> 00:18:13,634
- And the colonies, Your Highness.
- Yes.
213
00:18:13,634 --> 00:18:16,553
He has been Monarch since October
with the death of his grandfather.
214
00:18:16,553 --> 00:18:20,349
Brimsley, you've told me he is the king,
he is the ruler, and he is the monarch.
215
00:18:21,016 --> 00:18:24,019
- Those are all the same things.
- They are all facts, Your Highness.
216
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:36,615
[Queen Mother] She is very brown.
217
00:18:37,282 --> 00:18:39,618
I did say she had Moor blood, ma'am.
218
00:18:39,618 --> 00:18:43,163
- You did not say she would be that brown.
- But I did say she had Moor blood.
219
00:18:43,163 --> 00:18:44,331
Very brown.
220
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,044
Thoughts?
221
00:18:49,044 --> 00:18:51,505
It is a problem. People will talk.
222
00:18:51,505 --> 00:18:53,966
People will talk. It is a problem.
223
00:18:53,966 --> 00:18:56,802
- We have already made the trade deals.
- Can they be canceled?
224
00:18:56,802 --> 00:18:59,304
We cannot cancel
the royal wedding on the day.
225
00:18:59,304 --> 00:19:01,765
You may need to. It is a problem.
226
00:19:06,728 --> 00:19:08,564
We are the Palace.
227
00:19:09,398 --> 00:19:12,985
A problem is only a problem
if the Palace says it is a problem.
228
00:19:12,985 --> 00:19:14,611
That is a fact. Is it not?
229
00:19:16,613 --> 00:19:17,823
It is.
230
00:19:17,823 --> 00:19:20,742
And the King is the sovereign head
of the Church of England
231
00:19:20,742 --> 00:19:23,078
and ruler of this great land.
232
00:19:23,078 --> 00:19:26,582
Therefore, nothing he does would
ever be a problem for the Palace.
233
00:19:26,582 --> 00:19:27,916
Would it, Lord Bute?
234
00:19:31,587 --> 00:19:32,462
It would not.
235
00:19:32,462 --> 00:19:36,175
So... this must be
as the Palace wished it to be.
236
00:19:36,175 --> 00:19:37,718
Must it not, Lord Bute?
237
00:19:43,348 --> 00:19:45,726
- Yes, it must.
- Good.
238
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:50,105
Then, the King's choice
has been most intentional.
239
00:19:50,105 --> 00:19:51,023
Hm.
240
00:19:51,857 --> 00:19:53,442
To make that clear...
241
00:19:55,194 --> 00:19:57,988
we shall expand
the guest list for the wedding.
242
00:19:57,988 --> 00:19:59,489
And add to her court.
243
00:19:59,489 --> 00:20:02,075
- Are you saying--
- The King is saying.
244
00:20:02,826 --> 00:20:04,870
I am only his mother. I say nothing.
245
00:20:05,913 --> 00:20:09,166
The King wishes to expand
the guest list for the wedding
246
00:20:09,166 --> 00:20:11,126
and add to her court.
247
00:20:11,126 --> 00:20:13,128
Of course, ma'am. It is only...
248
00:20:13,754 --> 00:20:17,090
The King realizes
that the wedding is in six hours?
249
00:20:17,090 --> 00:20:19,885
Well, who does not want
to attend a royal wedding?
250
00:20:19,885 --> 00:20:22,804
[upbeat instrumental music plays]
251
00:20:22,804 --> 00:20:23,972
[horses neighing]
252
00:20:30,312 --> 00:20:32,022
[knocking]
253
00:20:44,243 --> 00:20:46,245
[birds chirping]
254
00:20:49,498 --> 00:20:53,377
- [rhythmic thumping]
- [man panting]
255
00:20:59,967 --> 00:21:01,969
[man panting, moaning]
256
00:21:05,973 --> 00:21:07,849
[man groans, sighs]
257
00:21:10,102 --> 00:21:12,104
[shuddering]
258
00:21:12,729 --> 00:21:14,731
[groans]
259
00:21:15,315 --> 00:21:16,233
[sighs]
260
00:21:16,775 --> 00:21:20,195
That... was a good ride.
261
00:21:20,904 --> 00:21:22,155
[sighs]
262
00:21:26,702 --> 00:21:27,869
[sighs]
263
00:21:30,330 --> 00:21:32,332
[grunting softly]
264
00:21:33,750 --> 00:21:36,795
You may nap here, wife.
265
00:21:38,255 --> 00:21:41,425
And then I have a surprise.
266
00:21:42,801 --> 00:21:43,760
Oh.
267
00:21:44,636 --> 00:21:45,512
Yes.
268
00:21:46,430 --> 00:21:48,432
Of course, thank you.
269
00:21:50,225 --> 00:21:51,268
[man sighs]
270
00:21:58,525 --> 00:22:00,527
[snoring lightly]
271
00:22:16,293 --> 00:22:18,295
[footsteps departing]
272
00:22:18,295 --> 00:22:19,463
[door creaks open]
273
00:22:24,468 --> 00:22:27,387
- I have your bath waiting, ma'am.
- You gave me no warning.
274
00:22:27,387 --> 00:22:29,389
- I had no warning.
- We always have warning.
275
00:22:29,389 --> 00:22:30,557
Not this time.
276
00:22:30,557 --> 00:22:33,852
I had no warning
because the butler gave me no warning.
277
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:35,896
This was... spontaneous.
278
00:22:36,813 --> 00:22:37,856
Spontaneous?
279
00:22:37,856 --> 00:22:40,734
Is it not enough that I must endure that,
280
00:22:40,734 --> 00:22:42,736
and now I must endure that
without warning?
281
00:22:42,736 --> 00:22:44,446
At any time!
282
00:22:44,946 --> 00:22:48,158
He said he had a surprise.
Is this to happen twice in one day?
283
00:22:49,076 --> 00:22:52,954
I believe the surprise
is why he was excited.
284
00:22:53,497 --> 00:22:55,457
The butler says he received a letter
285
00:22:55,457 --> 00:22:56,833
from the palace.
286
00:22:57,417 --> 00:22:58,710
The palace.
287
00:22:59,544 --> 00:23:00,837
The palace?
288
00:23:00,837 --> 00:23:02,422
That is the surprise.
289
00:23:02,422 --> 00:23:05,675
You have been invited
to the royal wedding.
290
00:23:06,259 --> 00:23:08,762
[scoffs] Coral. Have you gone mad?
291
00:23:08,762 --> 00:23:11,807
It is true.
An invitation has arrived for you both.
292
00:23:11,807 --> 00:23:14,351
I've already called for the modiste.
She's on her way over.
293
00:23:14,351 --> 00:23:16,353
She cannot make
a new gown before tonight, but--
294
00:23:16,353 --> 00:23:20,399
No, you are mistaken.
Our side and their side do not mix. Ever.
295
00:23:20,399 --> 00:23:22,150
I am certain!
296
00:23:22,150 --> 00:23:25,195
The ladies' maid at the Bassets
said they received an invitation.
297
00:23:25,195 --> 00:23:29,241
But the Dowager Princess
has invited our side. Well, your side.
298
00:23:29,241 --> 00:23:30,409
Why?
299
00:23:30,409 --> 00:23:32,327
I know not. But there is more.
300
00:23:33,286 --> 00:23:35,247
You are to attend the new Queen
301
00:23:35,247 --> 00:23:37,249
as part of her court.
302
00:23:40,335 --> 00:23:42,212
I think you'd better show me this letter.
303
00:23:44,631 --> 00:23:45,465
Now.
304
00:23:48,260 --> 00:23:49,261
Is he handsome?
305
00:23:49,886 --> 00:23:53,807
Is he kind? Is he funny?
Is he warm? Well-read? Artistic? Athletic?
306
00:23:53,807 --> 00:23:56,518
We can discuss the order
of the matrimonial ceremony.
307
00:23:56,518 --> 00:23:57,561
Is he ugly?
308
00:23:57,561 --> 00:24:00,272
Perhaps deformed in some way
because beauty is inside.
309
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:04,192
Well, it is certainly not inside,
but I am a good person and shall overcome.
310
00:24:04,192 --> 00:24:06,778
The Archbishop sent over
some verses for Your Highness--
311
00:24:06,778 --> 00:24:09,656
Is he dull? Not very smart? Mentally slow?
312
00:24:09,656 --> 00:24:10,907
I can work on those.
313
00:24:11,867 --> 00:24:12,742
You can tell me.
314
00:24:13,326 --> 00:24:14,411
Is he cruel?
315
00:24:16,913 --> 00:24:19,958
You're going to have wonderful children
together, Your Highness.
316
00:24:22,502 --> 00:24:25,005
You said you're going
to always be with me, Brimsley.
317
00:24:25,005 --> 00:24:27,966
Yes, Your Highness.
You need never worry. I shall be here.
318
00:24:27,966 --> 00:24:28,967
Hmm.
319
00:24:30,677 --> 00:24:34,097
I need to... use the chamber pot.
320
00:24:35,015 --> 00:24:36,475
Are you with me for that too?
321
00:24:37,517 --> 00:24:40,270
Uh... withdraw.
Her Royal Highness requires privacy.
322
00:24:40,270 --> 00:24:41,897
[chattering lightly]
323
00:24:45,025 --> 00:24:47,027
[somber music playing]
324
00:24:51,114 --> 00:24:53,533
[door creaks closed]
325
00:25:07,130 --> 00:25:09,799
[bright, lively instrumental music plays]
326
00:25:18,308 --> 00:25:20,310
[indistinct chatter]
327
00:25:29,110 --> 00:25:30,278
[horse neighs]
328
00:25:30,278 --> 00:25:31,488
[driver] Whoa, there!
329
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,211
Do not gawk like a peasant. [chuckles]
330
00:25:46,211 --> 00:25:48,713
Behave as though you've been here before.
331
00:26:12,571 --> 00:26:14,573
[bright, lively music intensifies]
332
00:26:20,620 --> 00:26:22,330
They have all arrived.
333
00:26:22,330 --> 00:26:25,500
I shall greet them first
to make clear their standing
334
00:26:25,500 --> 00:26:27,002
and the king's intentions.
335
00:26:27,002 --> 00:26:28,086
Yes, ma'am.
336
00:26:32,090 --> 00:26:34,092
[indistinct overlapping chatter]
337
00:26:51,151 --> 00:26:52,569
[inaudible dialogue]
338
00:27:01,077 --> 00:27:02,621
[inaudible dialogue]
339
00:27:11,046 --> 00:27:11,921
Ah...
340
00:27:12,464 --> 00:27:15,425
Your father was friendly
with His Late Majesty,
341
00:27:15,425 --> 00:27:17,427
my son's grandfather, was he not?
342
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:20,597
I am so pleased
to have you here with us today
343
00:27:20,597 --> 00:27:23,933
on this family occasion, Lord Danbury.
344
00:27:25,101 --> 00:27:26,478
Lord. I...
345
00:27:26,478 --> 00:27:30,231
You shall be receiving
the official proclamation from the King.
346
00:27:31,274 --> 00:27:35,904
You are honored
to be Lord and Lady Danbury now.
347
00:27:36,863 --> 00:27:39,616
All the members of the ton must be titled.
348
00:27:39,616 --> 00:27:41,826
The ton, your Royal Highness?
349
00:27:41,826 --> 00:27:46,873
It is time we were united
as a society, is it not?
350
00:27:47,832 --> 00:27:49,000
Ah!
351
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,211
Lord and Lady Smythe-Smith.
352
00:27:52,629 --> 00:27:53,838
Lord Danbury.
353
00:27:54,714 --> 00:27:55,715
Imagine.
354
00:27:56,299 --> 00:27:58,301
I am... [scoffs] ...imagining.
355
00:28:20,615 --> 00:28:21,449
There is a problem.
356

- Or a troll.

No one will speak of him. No one.
He is clearly a beast or a troll.

I shall worry about that later.
Now, if you please.

Come. Make haste.

of helping you.

that you were trying to escape?

but I thought, maybe, perhaps as my wife,
418
00:32:22,190 --> 00:32:24,734
you could ignore it,
and I could be just George to you.
419
00:32:24,734 --> 00:32:28,613
That was, of course, before I found out
that you do not want to be married to me.
420

00:44:17,321 --> 00:44:19,782
I had all of your things moved here
during the ceremony.
533
00:44:19,782 --> 00:44:21,450
I'm not sure I understand.
534
00:44:21,450 --> 00:44:24,411
If this is my house,
is it not also our house?
535
00:44:25,746 --> 00:44:28,332
I suppose officially,
St James's Palace is our house,
536
00:44:28,332 --> 00:44:29,917
but this is where you shall stay.
537
00:44:30,542 --> 00:44:32,044
And you shall stay...
538
00:44:32,044 --> 00:44:34,046
I have an estate in Kew.
539
00:44:35,839 --> 00:44:38,133
- So, you shall live in Kew?
- Yes.
540
00:44:38,133 --> 00:44:40,302
- And I shall live here?
- Yes.
541
00:44:40,302 --> 00:44:41,679
It is our wedding night.
542
00:44:41,679 --> 00:44:45,724
And it is late. And you've been traveling,
and I should let you get inside.
543
00:44:45,724 --> 00:44:48,769
You'll need to meet your staff.
You'll... want to get some sleep.
544
00:44:48,769 --> 00:44:51,271
No, George. It is our wedding night.
545
00:44:52,356 --> 00:44:53,357
We are supposed...
546
00:44:56,985 --> 00:44:57,903
We are married.
547
00:44:58,445 --> 00:45:01,115
Are we not supposed to do
what married people do?
548
00:45:03,701 --> 00:45:06,370
Are you demanding
I perform my marital duty to you?
549
00:45:06,370 --> 00:45:08,539
I... I am not demanding. I...
550
00:45:08,539 --> 00:45:11,333
I'm not even sure
what marital duty is. I just know...
551
00:45:11,917 --> 00:45:14,044
Do we not spend this night together?
552
00:45:14,878 --> 00:45:17,464
My governess said that is
what happens on our wedding night.
553
00:45:25,681 --> 00:45:26,932
Fine. I shall stay.
554
00:45:26,932 --> 00:45:29,101
- George.
- I said I shall stay. Are you coming?
555
00:45:30,936 --> 00:45:32,438
[clapping]
556
00:45:36,775 --> 00:45:38,944
George. George.
557
00:45:39,737 --> 00:45:42,614
- George, I cannot keep up. Slow down.
- You wanted me in the bedroom.
558
00:45:42,614 --> 00:45:44,283
- Is that not where I should be?
- No.
559
00:45:44,283 --> 00:45:46,368
No?
Not if you're going to behave...
560
00:45:48,036 --> 00:45:50,789
You are angry.
What is wrong? What have I done?
561
00:45:50,789 --> 00:45:52,541
Whatever it is, I am sorry.
562
00:45:52,541 --> 00:45:55,294
You've done nothing
to be sorry for. I just... I...
563
00:45:55,294 --> 00:45:56,795
I want to go to Kew.
564
00:45:56,795 --> 00:45:58,922
- So let us go to Kew.
- No, I...
565
00:45:59,506 --> 00:46:01,341
You do not want me to go to Kew.
566
00:46:01,925 --> 00:46:02,801
This is your home.
567
00:46:02,801 --> 00:46:03,761
And that is yours.
568
00:46:03,761 --> 00:46:04,803
Yes.
569
00:46:05,679 --> 00:46:07,473
- I see.
- You do. Good.
570
00:46:08,223 --> 00:46:09,308
So you are all right.
571
00:46:10,768 --> 00:46:11,935
[exhales]
572
00:46:12,519 --> 00:46:14,146
I shall speak with you later.
573
00:46:14,146 --> 00:46:15,981
I'm not all right. I...
574
00:46:16,899 --> 00:46:18,525
George, this is how it is to be?
575
00:46:19,067 --> 00:46:21,153
This is our marriage?
You there, and me here?
576
00:46:22,029 --> 00:46:22,905
Yes.
577
00:46:22,905 --> 00:46:24,031
Why?
578
00:46:24,031 --> 00:46:25,949
I... I thought it would...
579
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:29,077
It is easier.
580
00:46:30,704 --> 00:46:31,538
For whom?
581
00:46:32,998 --> 00:46:33,832
What?
582
00:46:34,583 --> 00:46:35,918
Easier for whom?
583
00:46:36,460 --> 00:46:38,629
- You or me?
- I'm not going to debate this with you.
584
00:46:38,629 --> 00:46:40,672
I merely want to understand.
You need to tell me--
585
00:46:40,672 --> 00:46:42,382
I do not need to do anything. I decide.
586
00:46:42,382 --> 00:46:44,468
[shouts] I have decided. I am your king!
587
00:46:51,350 --> 00:46:52,309
My mistake.
588
00:46:53,060 --> 00:46:54,937
I thought you were just George.
589
00:46:54,937 --> 00:46:56,480
Forgive me, Your Majesty.
590
00:46:58,315 --> 00:46:59,191
Charlotte.
591
00:47:00,067 --> 00:47:01,401
May I withdraw, Your Majesty,
592
00:47:01,401 --> 00:47:03,403
or did you want to say
anything else to me?
593
00:47:12,454 --> 00:47:14,331
Ch... Charlotte, this is for the best.
594
00:47:15,457 --> 00:47:17,000
Of course, Your Majesty.
595
00:47:18,460 --> 00:47:19,628
Whatever you wish.
596
00:47:33,308 --> 00:47:35,310
[tense instrumental music plays]
597
00:47:48,282 --> 00:47:49,992
- Brimsley.
- Yes, Your Majesty.
598
00:47:49,992 --> 00:47:53,036
- You are here as well.
- I am wherever you are, Your Majesty.
599
00:47:54,621 --> 00:47:55,455
I am fine.
600
00:47:55,455 --> 00:47:57,541
- Yes, Your Majesty.
- Need not follow me.
601
00:47:57,541 --> 00:48:00,127
- But I shall, Your Majesty.
- Stop calling me Your Majesty.
602
00:48:00,127 --> 00:48:03,380
You are the Queen, Your Majesty.
I cannot call you anything else.
603
00:48:03,380 --> 00:48:05,299
- Then stop following me.
- I cannot do that.
604
00:48:05,299 --> 00:48:08,093
As your Queen,
I order you to stop following me.
605
00:48:08,093 --> 00:48:11,221
It is my sworn duty to take care of you,
Your Majesty, at all times.
606
00:48:11,221 --> 00:48:12,472
I do not want you here.
607
00:48:14,099 --> 00:48:16,894
I hope in time you'll become
used to me, Your Majesty.
608
00:48:19,521 --> 00:48:20,355
Wonderful.
609
00:48:21,523 --> 00:48:22,357
[sighs]
610
00:48:22,357 --> 00:48:24,693
We can spend
the rest of our lives together.
611
00:48:27,321 --> 00:48:28,530
Are they sober?
612
00:48:28,530 --> 00:48:31,325
I do not know that it'd be right
for me to say, Your Majesty.
613
00:48:31,325 --> 00:48:33,410
It is not yet 11 in the morning.
614
00:48:33,410 --> 00:48:34,536
Scandalous.
615
00:48:36,705 --> 00:48:37,873

- [doors creak open]
- [light chattering]
617
00:48:40,459 --> 00:48:44,087
Her Majesty, Charlotte,
Queen of the United Kingdom.
618
00:48:44,796 --> 00:48:45,839
Hello, my children.
619
00:48:45,839 --> 00:48:47,925
[light, whimsical music plays]
620
00:48:50,636 --> 00:48:53,931
- Mummy, it is so early.
- Mother, you cannot summon us this way.
621
00:48:53,931 --> 00:48:56,266
It's not fair. I will not stand for it.
622
00:48:56,266 --> 00:49:00,062
- Really. We have lives.
- We have business to attend to.
623
00:49:00,062 --> 00:49:02,981
By business, do you mean
fornicating with your mistresses,
624
00:49:02,981 --> 00:49:05,525
or do you mean producing
more bastards for me to ignore?
625
00:49:05,525 --> 00:49:08,195
My word.
There are impressionable ladies present.
626
00:49:08,862 --> 00:49:09,988
Impressionable?
627
00:49:09,988 --> 00:49:14,201
Trust me, Edward. No sexual innuendo
makes an impression upon your sisters.
628
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,747
I wish it did, that they might get ideas
to marry and start fornicating.
629
00:49:18,747 --> 00:49:19,831
Mother!
630
00:49:19,831 --> 00:49:22,834
Perhaps, then,
I might have legitimate grandbabies.
631
00:49:23,335 --> 00:49:27,464
Instead, virgins to the left of me,
whores to the right.
632
00:49:27,464 --> 00:49:29,257
I believe I am a married woman.
633
00:49:29,841 --> 00:49:30,759
Yes.
634
00:49:30,759 --> 00:49:32,970
And where are your babies?
635
00:49:33,637 --> 00:49:35,764
You have made zero heirs to the throne.
636
00:49:35,764 --> 00:49:37,057
I am trying.
637
00:49:37,057 --> 00:49:39,101
Are you? Really?
638
00:49:39,726 --> 00:49:42,896
Dearest, I explained everything to you.
639
00:49:42,896 --> 00:49:45,440
- I drew you pictures.
- [chuckling]
640
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:46,984
You are doing it correctly?
641
00:49:46,984 --> 00:49:48,986
Making sure he's putting it
in the right place?
642
00:49:48,986 --> 00:49:50,278
- Mother!
- [laughter]
643
00:49:50,278 --> 00:49:53,156
The only heir to the throne is dead.
644

[sobs loudly]
645
00:49:58,620 --> 00:50:01,748
Sorrows, sorrows. Prayers.
646
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:04,710
I am stating facts.
647
00:50:04,710 --> 00:50:06,878
The princesses have had no babies.
648
00:50:06,878 --> 00:50:10,007
The princes have had
a record number of babies.
649
00:50:10,007 --> 00:50:12,467
Illegitimate whore babies.
650
00:50:12,467 --> 00:50:15,554
We had one heir, one royal,
and she is gone.
651

[sobbing]
652
00:50:16,596 --> 00:50:18,265
Sorrows. Prayers.
653
00:50:19,975 --> 00:50:21,768
Children, this is a crisis.
654
00:50:22,352 --> 00:50:25,147
I've heard
from the Prime Minister on the topic.
655
00:50:25,147 --> 00:50:27,733
Worse, Lady Whistledown
is talking about it,
656
00:50:27,733 --> 00:50:30,027
which means everyone
will be talking about it.
657
00:50:30,027 --> 00:50:32,487
Mother, I think you are being
a bit zealous.
658
00:50:32,487 --> 00:50:34,072
- Perhaps the grief--
- No!
659
00:50:34,865 --> 00:50:37,159
It is time to find husbands.
660
00:50:37,159 --> 00:50:40,495
It is time to trade in
the mistresses for respectable wives.
661
00:50:41,079 --> 00:50:42,205
Get started.
662
00:50:42,873 --> 00:50:46,835
One of you had better produce
the next ruler of the United Kingdom,
663
00:50:46,835 --> 00:50:49,713
or your father's line dies with him.
664
00:50:51,089 --> 00:50:52,924
Make me a royal baby.

[overlapping chatter]
667
00:50:59,639 --> 00:51:02,350
It is not a difficult task.
668
00:51:03,351 --> 00:51:07,856
Your father and I made
15 royal babies all by ourselves.
669
00:51:08,523 --> 00:51:11,902
I do not see why the whole lot of you
cannot make just one.
670
00:51:12,444 --> 00:51:14,446
