If you were drawn in to the pushes and pulls of Simon and Daphne and Kate and Anthony, you'll find everything you desire in a young Charlotte and George too. The chemistry between Amarteifio and her young King George III (played sensitively by Corey Mylchreest) radiates, with the origin story of their romance achieving as much intensity, warmth and investment as Bridgerton's earlier central storylines. She is the perfect choice upon which to hook a singular story, seamlessly embodying Golda Rosheuvel's existing character while still bringing a naivety that's long been trodden out of her in later years (given the weight of role and circumstance). India Amarteifio is inspired casting as the young Queen Charlotte. Michael is instantly smitten, but he puts his feelings aside for John’s sake. Within moments of pressing play you are transported back into the candy-coloured Regency era. Francesca Bridgerton is all set to marry John Stirling, 8th Earl of Kilmartin, when she meets his cousin, Michael. From Julie Andrews' dulcet tones to Beyoncé-inspired string quartets and beautiful costumes, all of the hallmarks are there.

Queen Charlotte marks the very first spin-off story to come from the world of Bridgerton, and we're pleased to report that it stands as strong as the beloved main series.
