5 Unanswered Questions Reddit Has After Queen Charlotte Finale

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story can safely be described as a new Netflix sensation. Yet, after consuming the show in a near trancelike state, viewers are left grappling with some puzzling elements they've just seen.

Here are five big questions fans of the Bridgerton universe ask after watching Queen Charlotte.

1. How old is Violet Bridgerton?

The Bridgerton matriarch plays a minor yet significant role in the spinoff. She is depicted as a girl of roughly 12-13 years old and a mature woman experiencing a sexual awakening. But what is her exact age?

The past timeline unfolds in 1761, around the time Charlotte and George marry, while the present timeline is set circa 1815, creating a 54-year gap between the two. This means Violet must be over 65 in Bridgerton, but she certainly looks a great deal younger in the main series.

It would also imply that Violet was 16 years older than her husband and began having their eight children at 30, a scenario that seems improbable for the era. It appears Violet Bridgerton does not belong in Queen Charlotte, as she wouldn't have been born yet.

2. Why were all of Agatha Danbury's relationships fraught with drama?

Agatha Danbury is a captivating, endearing character. However, fans are curious about why all her relationships were so heartbreaking.

For starters, many viewers find it disturbing that Agatha's marital sex scenes, in which she essentially gets molested and sexually abused, are shown time and time again. And to add to the confusion, these scenes are presented as comic relief. What gives?

Second, Agatha's liaison with Violet's father feels like drama for drama's sake, with very little substance to it. There's just not enough chemistry between the two, and most fans are convinced Agatha deserved better.

3. What was King George's affliction?

Much like modern historians, scientists, and physicians, the prequel doesn't answer this crucial question definitively. There's an allusion to George's childhood trauma playing a significant role in his ailment, but no specifics are given.

Consequently, many viewers are left perplexed after watching the show, unsure of the King's diagnosis and whether the medical treatments administered ameliorated or exacerbated his condition.

4. Why didn't the Queen arrange her children's marriages as she did with other couples?

The older Charlotte appears fixated on continuing George's lineage. However, when her only legitimate grandchild dies, revealing that Charlotte and George's 13 surviving children have no heirs, Charlotte begins to behave somewhat tyrannically in her quest for a royal progeny. Viewers are baffled by this situation and find Charlotte's actions weird. Why didn't she simply arrange marriages for all her children earlier?

5. What happened to Reynolds?

The main question left unanswered by Queen Charlotte concerns the fate of the King's footman, Reynolds, and his relationship with the Queen's valet, Brimsley. It's clear the two are well-suited, and many fans wanted to see a happy ending for them. However, in a heartrending twist, Brimsley is shown alone in the present timeline, with no sign of Reynolds. Fans are hopeful that Bridgerton will provide some clarity.
