she wears emeralds during their wedding dance, during the parliament dance, during the bed scenes, and even walking around. her birthday is in May, the birthstone for May is emeralds. George was giving her jewelry of her birthstone instead of diamonds bc at that time, emeralds were more rare. Hence, "you are a rare jewel".
I love the scene with Queen Charlotte and King George under the bed at the ending of the movie. The,way they bounce back and forth with them young and then old.. It was beautifully done.
I have bipolar disorder and those scenes gutted me. I’ve been psychotic a few times, and ended up hospitalized each time. Psychosis is scary, and confusing, and a certain kind of hell that I’m glad most people will never have to experience. I have never been a danger to anyone but myself, I’d like to add. People experiencing psychosis are more likely to be harmed by others than they are to harm anyone else. But it’s a crisis, it’s treatable, and it requires hospitalization. I’m so grateful for modern medicine that makes my disorder treatable.
This.. My husband has Type 2 Bipolar and it hurts my heart when he's in his manic episodes. 15 years We've been together and all through his ups and downs I've done my best to stay by his side and support him. It hasn't been easy, but the struggles he goes through- I'm there with him. Like you, he is so thankful for Medicines that help to level it off so it's not so drastic but the struggle is so real for him everyday to fight to be "normal." You're stronger than you realize- even though you think you're broken.
During my first ever watch of this show I knew exactly what kind of horrific treatment George was about to go through with that doctor as soon as a I heard “Bedlam”. I’m also diagnosed with Type 2 Bipolar Disorder, and whenever the “treatment” scenes came up, I couldn’t help but cry because had I been born a hundred years ago I would’ve been tortured just like George. Even though I have many normal days I still would’ve been forced to go through ice baths and verbal abuse and much worse. They’d only focus on my bad days and “bad” behaviours instead of bettering the good days. To think that that’s how people with mental illnesses and disabilities were treated only a few decades ago hurts my heart, but I feel lucky to be alive in a generation where medicine and mental health have become humane. None of it is perfect of course but we’ve come so far. To get a better idea of how recently these horrific asylums existed, Rosemary Kennedy was lobotomized in 1941. Lobotomies weren’t banned until 1950. The complete deinstitutionalization of asylums and long stay psychiatric units didn’t happen until 2015. Canada closed their very last asylum in 2009. Every psychiatric unit, every hospital psychiatry wing, every single psychiatric practice that we have now are all pretty much brand spanking new. We are still learning how to treat mental illness because it was such a huge taboo for hundreds of years that we are so behind in the study. We are lucky to be where we are now.
Oh please, please, for the sake of everyone who lives you, keep with your meds, and get them recalibrated when you need to. My ex brother in law was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia with psychosis and unlike you, he WAS a danger to others when he broke. My ex MIL refused to accept that he was sick, so he was undiagnosed until 1994, 24 years old. With proper meds he was the sweet, gentle, quiet boy I met in 1989. He was able to live sort of independently, hold a job… but two years ago his meds weren’t working. His sister, who had his medical POA, called his dr and said she thought Paul needed his meds reevaluated. The dr brushed her off… Paul disappeared for 2 months…found him living under a bridge 164 miles away. Got him back, adjusted his meds… started acting off again. My ex FIL went to check on him…. Paul had ended things. He left a note saying he was tired. Broke all of our hearts, especially his poor father’s.
I cried so hard because I loved it and hated it so much. I love that she has such love and patience and understanding for him and hate that she is in pain whenever he’s like this. Still a beautiful series and way to wrap up the season.
I sobbed in that scene too. I watched it with my husband. I couldn't hold it in when she sees George as his younger self and then him to her as her younger self. My husband just took me in his arms.... Which just made me cry more 😂
This is the first time I've cried watching a Bridgerton episode. Still hits me the feels because it's such a bitter-sweet moment of an extremely deep love.
charlotte and george's romance is byfar my favorite out of the bridgerton stories. i couldn't stop crying, esp in the last scene. their love is just so real and beautiful it aches me 🥹❤️
Omg this literally just made me cry😢😢😢 The under the bed scene at the end was hands down my favorite scene. She loved him with all of her being. They say the real couple were deeply in love too. She was always scared of his passing in their older years but she died before him and he most likely didn’t know because of his condition. So sweet that their granddaughter Queen Victoria and her husband had the same deep love too. That’s rare in arranged marriages ❤
Now I can totally understand why she kept asking if he was dead. I was like she is so cold about it. But now I feel as if she did not want him to suffer. She loved him so much but was prepared to be heartbroken and even more for his sake.
I am an art historian and before the mini series (which was exactly correct to the art historical record), I realized the queen dresses in the rococo art historical period (1700's style) so that way George III can easily remember who she is. It dawned on me when she was speaking with Edwina and Queen Charlotte said that "True love forces you to remember who were and how you will live with it." I was like omg that is why she dresses in the time period of when she met George so he can remember who she is too him.
@@yuko6794 the clip was about the necklace right? which in reference for the original bridgerton. (which ISNT WRITTEN by shonda) hence, that little easter egg was already written by the main author/writer. so its safe to assume that this easter egg isn't written by shonda rhimes. does that make sense?
Here’s an Easter Egg… Queen Charlotte loves Emeralds because that’s her birthstone, as well as mine. We were both born on MAY 19th. She in 1744 and I in 1977. 💚💚💚💚💚
I have been single since 2009. You could say that being broken already from my psychosis made love something I couldn't want. I've dated since then but no love due to the disconnect. This series made me want it more than I have ever wanted it. It's a wonder how much a story can heal you.
I truly hope you are able to find love someday. Possibly with a person with mental health issues who understands your struggles. I have mental health issues. It would be hard for two people together. Good luck please keep searching for love.
actually the scene under the bed happens after Eloise & emerald. Unless we assume that them being under the bed happened many times during the late years when his illness is chronical and each time she wore the emerald necklace
queen charlotte was my favorite bit of the bridgerton universe we’ve seen so far. charlotte’s such a compelling character and it was so cool to see her and the rest of the younger cast interspersed with present day. the writers of this show really put their whole pussy in that shit 😭💕
other than queen charlotte, pen says in season 3 that diamonds aren’t the only jewel that shines and she wears an emerald green dress, so maybe eloise saying emeralds are her favorite shows a healing of their friendship or the love she used to have for her
And the funny thing is, Pen starts dressing in emerald color in the beginning of season 3 cuz it represents yellow of the Featherington and Blue of the Bridgeton mixing well together! I just felt that when Eloise said “I’m an emberald girly” I seriously thought of a foreshadow of Eloise preferrong Pen as her bestfriend/sister, cuz like literally she’ll be her Sister-in-Law 😂😅plus Lady WD does say that “diamond isn’t the only jewel that sparkles” hinting that Pen and Eloisebeing the emeralds cuz they are different from the other girls!
The real king George and queen charlotte had a long marriage with 15 children. For 3/4 of their marriage it was good until in later years he went mad and did terrible things to her and their daughters and she never slept with him and lived in a separate part of the house after that. The end of their marriage was a very sad ending. He is the famous king that lost America to the colonists.
I thought you said heading for the heavens and I had to do such a double take because I WOULD be the type of person to not understand a poetic scene where someone dies but is not showed as actually dying. LOL
