Queen Charlotte: what the Bridgerton spin-off gets right (and wrong) about the real queen consort

Warning: the following article contains spoilers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.

Key Points:

Warning: the following article contains spoilers for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
Netflix’s period drama, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, makes no pretence of historical accuracy.
At the heart of the series is Charlotte’s relationship with her husband, King George III.
The real Charlotte, in contrast, amazed her attendants with her calm and cheerful attitude, even in the face of a choppy sea crossing to England.

The first meeting

As Netflix accurately shows, the first meeting between the young couple took place in a garden at St James’s Palace, the day after Charlotte arrived in England.
Charlotte’s wedding outfit was indeed splendid, but it was not chosen by her, as it is in the show.
It had been made at the king’s command, along with an incredible trove of diamond and pearl jewellery.

Charlotte the matriarch

One element of the show which does justice to the real Queen Charlotte is her position as matriarch of a large family.
Having produced 15 children, 13 of whom lived to adulthood, Charlotte had more than fulfilled the requirement to produce heirs.
As the king’s health wavered from 1789, Charlotte did her best to hold the family together in the face of many challenges.
In the “flash forward” sequences of the Netflix show, viewers see an older Queen Charlotte struggling to keep the monarchy and her family on track without the king.

French universalism sidelines ethnic minorities – why that must change

Retrieved on:

Tuesday, May 9, 2023

This is about allowing everyone to be as they are and as they want to be, whether in it’s in the workplace or anywhere else.

Key Points:

This is about allowing everyone to be as they are and as they want to be, whether in it’s in the workplace or anywhere else.
There is broad political consensus, from the left to the far right, that what matters is to integrate minorities, culturally, into the national community.
Anglo-Saxon societies, by contrast, are often branded, by French political thinkers and pundits alike, as “fragmented” along religious and ethnic divisions.
And it sees no problem in having a disproportionately low representation of ethnic minorities in the media, politics, culture or business.

Republican values

I call it catho-laïque, a blend of catholic, Christian values and militant atheism.
While purporting to defend universal values, classic republicans are in fact defending the interests of a predominantly male, bourgeois and white population.
They do not want to share political and economic power with women, young people and racialised minorities.
However, it was quickly co-opted by the government as an injunction to support Charlie Hebdo’s cartoons and humour.

Multicultural republicanism

It should be possible to present yourself as Franco-Algerian, Franco-Italian, Franco-Senegalese or Franco-Guadeloupean without being suspected of conspiring against republican universalism.
Similarly, in schools, the priority should be that pupils attend classes and receive an education.
A multicultural republic would guarantee, in practice, that everyone, including people from ethnic minorities, has access to management positions in business, in public services, in universities or in politics.
A multicultural republic should not despise universal rights.
