Bridgerton's Golda Rosheuvel aka 'Queen Charlotte' Reveals Royal Background, Princess Margaret Connections
There's an intriguing reason why Golda Rosheuvel's portrayal of Queen Charlotte on Bridgerton was almost too believable - as if she's part of such world in real life. According to her, she is.
Rosheuvel claimed in an interview with Tatler that her mother was close with the Royal family, which made it easy for her to step into her character's shoes. To be precise, beautiful and expensive heels.
She said she did not have to do much study because she was already familiar with the society in which this figure existed. She added that It was her mother's world and this makes it easy for her to play a queen.
"Every time I dress up as Queen Charlotte, I pay homage to my mother," the actress continued. "Before the war, they had butlers; their world was very public school. My grandfather was the headmaster of Colet Court [St Paul's prep school], my great-uncle was Bishop of Barbados, later Archbishop of Jamaica, and when my mother visited him there, she had dinner with Princess Margaret," she added.
The Regency Era drama returns to Netflix for season two on March 25 and fans can certainly see how regal she is once more.
The Shonda Rhimes-produced series will focus on Lord Anthony Bridgerton's [Jonathan Bailey] quest for love and, of course, lots of hot scenes this season.
Meanwhile, another cast member of the famous program, Nicola Coughlan, discusses what viewers may anticipate from the show's future season.
The actor was frank about everything during her most recent BBC Radio 2 interview with Claudia Winkleman, especially about what fans can expect of her character.
"We see how she gets away with the things that she gets away with. And for me, it was so much fun because in series one she's a shy, retiring wallflower, and then series two you go, 'oh, she's got all this new stuff going on' and it was extremely fun to film," she shared of her character.
Naturally, Netflix chose to surprise the show's fans on Valentine's Day with a sneak peek at the newest season of "Bridgerton." It certainly made people impatient for March 25 to roll around.
It begins with a voiceover by Julie Andrews, who is known as the voice for "Lady Whistledown."
"Dearest gentle reader," she asks. "Did you miss me?"
Some fans would have certainly uttered yes in their minds while watching the trailer.
