Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story plot: Here's how the prequel series fits into the main Bridgerton storyline

Queen Charlotte is a Bridgerton prequel series, and it focuses on the young Queen Charlotte, her marriage to King George and her rise to prominence and power.

In the trailer, we see Charlotte arriving in England to marry King George. Already, expectations are placed upon her, including one from King George's mother: "You will make as many babies as possible for my son".

Throughout the show, we see Charlotte and George's relationship – and romantic connection – progress. We're also introduced to young Lady Danbury and find out how she became a key member of Queen Charlotte's inner circle.

The whole thing is also interspersed with scenes featuring Bridgerton's Golda Rosheuvel as 'present day' Queen Charlotte, as well as Lady Danbury herself Adjoa Andoh and Ruth Gemmell as Violet Bridgerton.

If you haven't watched Bridgerton yet, there's no need to worry. There's a couple of specific references to the first two seasons of the main series, but Queen Charlotte can act as a perfect starting point if you're ready to dive in now.
