COSTUME APPRECIATION Augusta, Dowager Princess of Wales, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story

[tiny-librarian]

Princess Charlotte was the only child of George, prince of Wales, later George IV and Princess Caroline of Brunswick. After her parents separated, she joined the Prince of Wales’ household at Carlton House and then was taken to live at the Lower Lodge, Windsor Castle, from 1805 onwards. Her relationship with her father was distant, particularly when she broke off her engagement to William, the Hereditary Duke of Orange, in 1813. In May 1816, she married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, later King of the Belgians, but died soon after the birth of a stillborn son in 1817. She had become a very popular figure and was deeply mourned both by her husband and the general public.

The miniature has been worked up from a pencil drawing by George Sanders made during sittings he had in 1813 for a portrait the princess wanted to give her father for a birthday present.

The miniature is set in a hinged case with a lock of Princess Charlotte’s hair. The front of the locket is black enamel with a coronet of rubies and diamonds and her monogram PC. The plain gold back is engraved: Elle fut heureuse / Ah! Ne la plaignez pas (She was happy. Ah! do not weep for her).

Astrology observations (Mars/Aries and 8th house/2nd house edition)

Hello!! I came back after a while with a small Astrology observations post related to Mars and Aries in the 2nd or 8th house. So, please enjoy.

1*It is very common that people who have Aries or Mars in the second house end up wasting money on things. In many cases, those expenses could end up being totally unnecesary, but these natives could be very impulsive when it comes to buying things, making it difficult for them to save money unless there are other planets or aspects that could decrease this energy such as having aspects to Saturn.

2*The same can be applied to people who has Aries or Mars in the eight house, with the difference that the eight house talks about inheritence or others people's money, so these natives could overspend a lot of money on unnecessary items at the cost of somebody else's wallet or inheritence. Or making impulsive acts in relation to money, which could also affect other people's money.

One example of this aspect relates to the late king George IV, whose Mars in Scorpio is in the eight house. This ruler spend a lot of money in forniture, paintings, clothing, and parties. He probably did that because it make him feel important and powerful. But, putting this aside, he overspend so much money into these things that he went bankrupt and, at one point, had to ask the goverment to settle his debts. They agreed on that occasion with the condition that he had to settle down and produce an heir.

A president or ruler who has this placement could, potentially, end up doing the things that I've just mentioned.

3* Sadly, those who have Aries as the ruler of the eight house or have Mars under the eight house could die violently or due to an accident. The chart of the deceased princess Charlotte Augusta of Wales shows this.

Charlotte Augusta of Wales died a few hours later after her delivery of a stillborn son. That birth lasted 50 hours. She had Mars in Scorpio in the eight house near her Neptune. To this day, the cause of her demise remains unknown.

4. The good part of having Mars in the second house, is that these natives could put a lot of hard work when it comes to their finances. They put energy in the work they do and to build their legacy and self-esteem.

5. The good part of having Mars in the eight house is that these natives could be very good detectives. Finding hidden truths about life itself or others such as their fears could be one of their talents. These are some observations related to Mars and Aries. Hope you have a great weekend and yes, the Georgian period it is an interesting topic for me.

Watching Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Episode 1:

I love both young and older Queen Charlotte. The actresses are very convincing at playing the same character at different points in their life.

Charlotte comes off as a brat at first, but after her brother explains why he could not refuse the betrothal, she becomes a lot better.

I like how she wanted what her husband was like and how she become frustrated when the servants only told her that he was the king.

Young Lady Danbury is perfect in her later scenes, but I hate her introduction. Showing a dark-skinned, young black woman having miserable sex with her geriatric dark-skinned husband is not a good look for Netflix.

I wonder if Prince Augusta's line about Charlotte's skin color was inspired by that line from the Sussexs' Oprah interview.

The inclusion of the wealthy non-white families to George and Charlotte's wedding came across as a rushed job. I would have liked it better if they had invited to the wedding from the beginning. I am also confused that George is not informed about this given that he is the king.

George and Charlotte's first meeting was so cute. The actors have great chemistry.

The wedding and ball scene was beautiful, but I wished that Lady Danbury had danced with Charlotte's brother, Adolphus. She deserves something nice for dealing with her much older husband.

I have mixed feelings about the last scene between George and Charlotte. It does not make sense given how romantic George was to Charlotte in their earlier scenes.

My current theory is that George wants Charlotte to live separate from him because of his mental health problems, and he does not want to expose her to them.

Older Queen Charlotte's scene with her adult children is so funny and mostly historically accurate.

The real-life King George IV and Queen Charlotte did not have any legitimate grandchildren after Princess Charlotte of Wales died. Their adult sons other than Prince Regent George were practically forced to make proper martial matches after their only legitimate niece died in childbirth.

Fun fact. Princess Charlotte's widower was the future King Leopold I of Belgium and one of Queen Victoria's maternal uncles.

I wonder if the mention of Queen Charlotte's many illegitimate grandchildren is a possible set-up for the show's version of Sophie Beckett.

Blue and Scarlet ( A Reynolds x Brimsley story)

by Ailithbriar55555

When Brimsley first entered the castle, two months before Queen Charlottes arrival, he was told that his entire life, every moment, every breath and every step he takes is for the queen. And there he meets Reynolds the stubborn kings man with a hidden secret . . .

Reynolds and Brimsley haven't had the smoothest of starts, at first they were rivals, with hidden secrets, but, there seems to be more than what meets the eye.

What Netflix Tudum got wrong about Bridgerton titles

In the article published yesterday there were a number of glaring errors (yes I am specifically thinking of Kathani vs Katherine), but one that showed the lack of any kind of research from the (no doubt) American authors of the article was the titles of the characters. So let's look at how each of the titled characters should have been addressed in the article.

Princess Augusta: Princess Augusta had three titles in her life time, the first was her title at birth, Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, after her marriage she was HRH The Princess of Wales, and upon the death of her husband she became HRH The Dowager Princess of Wales. However, to say they got her title incorrect in the article is a little nitpicky because Princess Augusta was a princess in her own right and therefore could rightly be referred to as such.

Queen Charlotte: At her birth Queen Charlotte was Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, on her marriage she became the Queen Consort of Great Britain and Ireland, Electress/Queen Consort of Hanover. However, in the tradition of all Queen Consorts, she was referred to as HM Queen Charlotte.

HM King George: Now, I am going to nitpick a little with this. Whilst technically he was King George, officially (and in all written correspondence) he was HM King George III, being the third King with the name George.

Adolphus: To have referred to Charlotte's brother solely as Adolphus in writing at the time would have been highly insulting. Adolphus Frederick IV, Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was his full title and referring to him as anything less is incorrect.

Prince Regent George: Okay, this one really irritates me, HRH Prince George, the Prince of Wales was his full title, and from 1811 until his father's death in 1820 he was also the Prince Regent of the United Kingdom. At no point would he be referred to as Prince Regent George.

Princess Charlotte Augusta: Whilst this title is correct, in formal settings she would be referred to as HRH Princess Charlotte of Wales. I understand that it is possible that for the show she will be referred to as Princess Charlotte Augusta in order to avoid confusion with the current Princess Charlotte of Wales.

Lady Agatha Danbury: It is hard to know if this is correct or not. In order for the honorific Lady to be used with her Christian name Lady Danbury would have to have been the daughter of an Earl or higher, my understanding is that she did not have a title prior to the marriage of Queen Charlotte and King George, and the title was provided to her husband. In this instance the title she takes on is that of her husband, ie: Lady Danbury, but does not include her first name. She would more correctly be styled as Agatha, Lady Danbury, rather than Lady Agatha Danbury.

Lord Danbury: No issues with this, he has been granted a peerage and will be known as Lord Danbury.

Dominic Danbury: Now this is interesting, and would depend on what peerage his father held. If his father was an Earl or higher the he would be Lord Dominic Danbury assuming he is the eldest, if he was a younger son of an Earl or the son of a Viscount or Baron then he would be styled The Honourable Mr Dominic Danbury.

Dowager Viscountess Violet Bridgerton: Again an interesting one. Before marriage, depending on the rank of her father, Violet could have been Lady Violet (if her father was an Earl, Marquess, or Duke), or she would have been The Honourable Miss Violet Ledger if her father was a Viscount or Baron. On her marriage, she would initially either been Lady Violet Bridgerton, even whilst Edmund remained The Honourable Mr Edmund Bridgerton, or she would have been styled The Honourable Mrs Violet Bridgerton. Once Edmund became Viscount, Violet would be either initially addressed as The Viscountess Bridgerton thereafter addressed as Lady Violet Bridgerton, or addressed as The Viscountess Bridgerton thereafter addressed as Lady Bridgerton without her first name, this again depends on her father's title. After the death of Edmund Violet would have remained the Viscountess until Anthony's marriage, at which point she becomes The Dowager Viscountess. There are a number of ways a Dowager may be addressed, she could still be addressed as Lady Bridgerton, or informally referred to as The Dowager, but most likely she would be referred to as The Dowager Viscountess. Her first name would only be included in her title if her father held the title of Earl or higher.

Viscount Edmund Bridgerton: As Anthony is known in the show, when Edmund was alive he would have been addressed as Lord Bridgerton, and known formally as The Viscount Bridgerton.

Viscountess Kathani Bridgerton: We all love the idea of Kate being called Lady Kathani, but regrettably this is incorrect. She would be formally The Viscountess Bridgerton, and addressed as Lady Bridgerton. She may also be known as Kathani, Viscountess Bridgerton.

The Bridgerton siblings. Okay, I am doing this in one go, because they all hold the same honorific. As Anthony's younger siblings are children of a Viscount, even though he is deceased, they would all retain the honorific The Hon. So the girls would be The Honourable Miss (eg: The Honourable Miss Bridgerton, or The Honourable Miss Francesca Bridgerton / The Honourable Miss Hyacinth Bridgerton), and the boys likewise would be The Honourable Mr....

Duchess Daphne Basset: Another one that irritates me (along with Simon so I don't have to repeat myself). Whilst Basset is Daphne's family name it has no bearing on her title, and as the Duchess of Hastings she would be addressed as Her Grace the Duchess of Hastings. Only her family would get to use her first name.

Duke Simon Basset: Grrr... yes I am really irritated again. Simon, as with Daphne, would be His Grace the Duke of Hastings.

August Basset: Another irritant. As the eldest son of a Duke Augie would take on a courtesy title, which would be the subsidiary title of his father, in the case of Bridgerton this title is the Earl of Clyvedon. Augie would be formally addressed as Lord Clyvedon, and informally be known as Clyvedon, obviously his family would call him Augie.

Newton Bridgerton: No, he doesn't have a title, but I had to mention our favourite furry friend. Newton of course could now be styled The Honourable Newton Bridgerton, which I think has a nice ring to it. 😊

COSTUME APPRECIATION Augusta, Dowager Princess of Wales, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story

[tiny-librarian]

Princess Charlotte of Wales (daughter of George IV and Caroline of Brunswick, not Prince William and Kate Middleton) married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld, future King of the Belgians and uncle to Queen Victoria, in London on 2 May 1816. As the heiress presumptive to the throne and the woman who should have been Queen, if not for her untimely death the following year, her wedding was the social event of the decade and she needed a dress fit for a Princess in order to match the occasion. She had one.

In this royal fashion history documentary from History Calling we look at one of the earliest surviving royal wedding dresses in British history which was recently on display in the Queen’s Gallery in Buckingham Palace. Despite the increasing popularity of white wedding dresses at the time of her nuptials, Charlotte wore silver silk and satin overlaid with lace and embellished with shell motifs. We’ll trace her dress’s journey from its creation by the Princess’s dressmaker, Mrs Triud of Bolton Street, to the day Charlotte wore it, to what happened to it after her death and how it came to be in its present home. By comparing photographs of the dress as seen today to historical descriptions and a picture of it from 1816, we’ll see how well the current gown matches early 19th century fashions, examine how much of the original garment is left and ask whether this unique piece of dress history can really be called the wedding dress of Princess Charlotte.

[strangelock221b]

E4. We're starting even further back in time, okay. I have to wonder if part of Augusta's bitchiness is resentment that she never got to be Queen of England since her husband died before his father.

Ah, so the mental illness started even earlier. Shonda's screwing with George's timeline. You know, if you had pushed for eight episodes instead of six, maybe you could've kept to history more.

So George can be talked out of a mental episode? Okay.

I was about to say I don't trust Monro and then he slaps George. This may be the doctor I was thinking of that abused the real George. Great. The other docs were right, this guy's a quack.

Well, at least we know why George really wanted them to live apart. Poor guy.

"extreme measures" Don't do it, George!

This IS the doctor that abused the real George but I'm 80% they didn't meet until the real George was much older. Anyway, he thinks it's a behavioral issue, like George is a misbehaving dog or something. Holy shit.

"I will break you!" You're a quack and a highly dangerous one at that.

Can't wait to see him dismissed, preferably in handcuffs.

George, you really shouldn't trust this guy with a straight razor at your throat.

I think Monro has forgotten his place.

He's a sick fucking bastard.

Charlotte really needs to remind Augusta who is the Queen of England and who is merely the Dowager Princess of Wales.

You're going to regret going back to that monster, George.
