She became Queen of Britain and Ireland after marrying King George III in 1761 and gave birth to 15 children. And there are a number of theories which claim she may’ve been the first Black British monarch too. So, a series following her youth? Yeah, it’s going to be good!
The original Bridgerton series has been renewed through to season four with each one focusing on the relationships of a different Bridgerton sibling.
