She chose not to bear more children for someone else. 'There is this transition with Agatha, from these colors that her husband liked into the colors that she likes, and there's this segue with Lady Danbury where the reverse happens, because she's lived this great life. Basically, she's saying, 'I can do whatever I want.'' Meanwhile, the older Lady Danbury is wearing a black-and-gold dress when she tells Violet Bridgerton that she only found love after her husband died.Ĭostume designer Lyn Paolo said: 'By the end of our story, our 'Bridgerton' Lady Danbury is wearing gold again because she's figured out that none of it matters, and she can be happy without a man and still wear this color. Meanwhile, the older Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh) wears her signature dark purple.Īs the series progresses, the young Lady Danbury starts to wear more purple as she finds her individuality, while the older Lady Danbury goes back to gold as she reminisces about her late husband.įor example, young Lady Danbury is seen in purple in the episode three scene when she tells Coral about Lord Danbury's death.

'We were trying to justify why our 'Bridgerton' Queen Charlotte stayed in that same Georgian era dress shape it was a backwards evolution. Laura Frecon, a costume designer for 'Queen Charlotte,' said in the press notes that the reason for the Georgian costume is because it is the only way the older King George (James Fleet) will recognize her. Many fans have also pointed out that Charlotte is the only character who wears Georgian-era clothing, compared to the Regency outfits of the other characters in the later timeline. Her secretary Brimsley (Hugh Sachs) points out to the queen in episode three that Charlotte's family struggles to move on to find their own partners and lives because they are worried about their mother being 'trapped in time.' In contrast to the past timeline, the older Queen Charlotte is permanently trapped in the latter timeline due to King George's illness. At this point, Charlotte has finally accepted her role as queen, hence her walls are a sign of strength, not ignorance.īrimsley (Hugh Sachs) and Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) This culminates in the season finale when Charlotte brings up the 'palace walls' again at the royal ball.

King George (Corey Mylchereest) and Lady Danbury's own imprisonments via circumstance are also portrayed, such as George freeing the Pomeranian while he is trapped by Doctor Monro in episode four, and in episode five, when Lady Danbury is trapped wearing black clothing after her husband's death. This theme is revisited in episode three when Lady Danbury chastises the queen by saying her 'palace walls are too high,' implying that she is too ignorant to understand her own power.

In episode one, young Charlotte is literally caged in numerous ways - the tight whalebone corset restricting her movements, the wall that stops her from escaping the palace, and even being forced, initially, to wear traditional British clothing to the wedding.

Thus, throughout the season, there are themes of these characters being caged or choosing to be imprisoned. The main arc of 'Queen Charlotte' follows young Charlotte and young Lady Danbury (Arsema Thomas) realizing their power and taking hold of their own destinies.
