LADY DANBURY'S HIDDEN PAST! | Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story - 1x05 "Gardens in Bloom" reaction 

I don’t that’s what Charlotte was saying. She was saying I should have been told about it from the beginning. Which is reasonable… she was angry at Augusta not George, if you go back to the episode she overheard George speaking to his mother where he said you told not let her know me to protect the secrets of the crown. So now she worked out the secrets and went to confront the person who had asked for the secrets to be kept. Those days there was stigma people didn’t know how to address it and peopl where institutionalised once they know the are mentally unwell.

Thanks for your reaction! I’m happy about the exploration of sexuality and desire for companionship within older women. They don’t stop having feelings when their husbands die. They still have desires and it’s important that this show covered it.

Another great reaction!. I, too, was curious-so I looked it up. The pregnancy quickening is when the baby starts moving (4-5 months) Also, I've had this discussion with my friends: Food for thought - Violet was a little girl in episode 5 (12-14), with that said, when would have been a good time for Lady D. to tell her that she had an affair with her father? I say never. But, I would love to hear opinions.

7:40 You guys misunderstood Lady Danbury's line about being promised when she was 3. See the movie, "Coming to America" if you want to understand what this sentence means. In that movie, Eddie Murphy plays a prince who is engaged to a girl who was promised to him when they both were children, and he didn't meet that girl until his engagement party. He tried to get to know the girl by asking her, what do you like to do? She answered, whatever you like to do. What do you think of X... She answered, whatever you think of X. That's what Lady Danbury is talking about. 10: 57 Men would not respond to a woman's letter out of fear that people might think that they were having an affair. As a matter of fact, that's how Eloise's love story begins in the Bridgerton books.

24:58 It did. In real life William was 20 years older (at least) than Adelaide, but in spite of that and in spite of the fact that there were no children (between them - William had 10 illegitimate children by then, Adelaide was one of the few women who was willing to marry him in spite of that fact and actually apparently got on pretty well with them), by all accounts theirs was a happy and affectionate marriage.

Lord Ledger is not old. Violet is a 12 year-old child. The actor who played Lord Ledger is the same age as the actor who played Prince Adolphus. Also, I consider Violet his daughter instead of him being her father, because Lady Danbury, a grown ass woman, met him first. AgathaS and Violet have only gotten to the point where they could talk about gardens in this show. That's not a long deep friendship. It's so annoying for people to keep acting like they were school friends who had sleepovers together.

27:58-28:02😂😂😂😂

Trueee but violets dad was so much younger than her husband🤢

1:00 I sincerely love your reactions but with that said, I would not want you two sitting on a jury if I were accused of a crime, because even after you've seen all the evidence, you're still blaming the doctor. Exhibit A, George told the doctor to do his most severe treatments, and the doctor agreed under certain conditions that George accepted. Initially, the doctor only wanted to use psychotherapy as a treatment plan. (Remember the first scene where the doctor spoke calmly to George on the day he married Charlotte?) Exhibit B, when George fired the doctor, you didn't want to believe that Charlotte, who had no knowledge of these treatments, would want Monroe to be her doctor. Exhibit C, you have forgotten how many times the Princess Dowager has made references to other doctors implementing even harsher treatments, probably dating back to George's childhood. 5:55 Queen Charlotte wasn't allowed to go places "during her honeymoon" phase. This didn't extend to times after the honeymoon. 7:01 What I noticed about Bridgerton was, all the women were widows, which granted them the right to do things without their husbands' permission, but Queen Charlotte shows the downside of not having a man around the house. 27:27 When Charlotte finds the King being tortured, I don't know why she didn't order more severe punishment for the doctor and his cohorts. From her perspective, the doctor should be arrested and executed, not just sent home with a slap on the wrist. 29:06 Lady Danbury couldn't predict the future when she slept with Lady Bridgerton's dad. She had no idea that almost 50 years later, she would become friends with Lady Bridgerton. Lady Danbury is in her 70s in the modern timeline. 35:57 When you talk about the heavy lifting for racial equality, you can't ignore the Princess Dowager. Without her, none of this would have happened. She was the one who invited the people of color to the wedding and refused to cancel events when white members of the Ton didn't want to go along. I seem to remember Queen Charlotte being more concerned about what George was doing in the garden, and Lady Danbury did take steps that just happened to benefit "our people", but those steps also benefited herself too. Lady Danbury was no Harriet Tubman, let me tell you that.
