While this six-part series is likely a standalone spin-off piece for Queen Charlotte, the show brings characters and storylines to the fore that could prove perfect frothy fodder for the main show as its third season approaches.

So, it seems that the death of Queen Charlotte's daughter-in-law and her subsequent matchmaking efforts take place in this six-month period which is breezed past at the end of the second season, before the blissful concluding spring scene at the Bridgerton family's country house. Yet after Kate and Anthony finally declare their love for one another, the show jumps forward six months to when they are already married and have just returned from a six-month honeymoon sojourn abroad. The second season of Bridgerton concludes in epic frothy fashion, with Kanthony finally united in matrimony after a whirlwind enemies-to-lovers romance for the Netflix ages. So where does this storyline, which runs concurrently to the love affair of young Charlotte with her husband George, relate to where we last left the Bridgerton gang? There are a few clues eagle-eyed viewers may have spotted. Instead, we're in the wintry months with dour grayscale scenes that are made no lighter by the fact that the queen and her court all don mourning black following the death of the Princess Royal. These present-day Ton scenes are at first a far cry from the eternal spring of Bridgerton we're used to. Queen Charlotte, the original Millionaire Matchmaker if ever there was one, gets to work, telling her children they're to wed and procreate pronto. We're told the crown is now in crisis, with no heir in sight – despite an impressive proliferation of illegitimate tots sired by the 13 children King George and Queen Charlotte had. 'While our hearts grieve for the loss of the Princess Royal, our heads grieve more for the future of the monarchy itself.' 'Dearest gentle reader,' Lady Whistledown then begins, charging back into our lives like a long-lost best friend carrying a treasure trove of fresh gossip.
