What better place for Bridgerton's Queen to pass royal judgment on two subjects than in an actual royal residence? The platform for Queen Charlotte's throne was new, and certainly made her all the more imposing. Shortly before Bridgerton visited Lancaster House to film the dramatic scene between Queen Charlotte and Simon and Daphne, the real-life Queen Elizabeth II was hosting dignitaries in the very same building. And they had made this kind of platform for the throne that I sit in, so that was fun to play as well, looking down on the two of them. So, you know, to start off you have the regal excitement that that brings. And we were filming in that very very room. The Queen was hosting a dinner party for all the dignitaries around the world. I think the room that we filmed in, I think a month before had, you know, all the dignitaries from around.

When Daphne's attempt to spin a story of love at first sight was obviously failing, Simon came forward to tell the Queen the truth about their fake relationship turning to friendship turning to love.įirst of all, we were filming in Lancaster House, which is a royal residence and working building for the royal family.

It fell to Daphne and Simon to try and convince the Queen that they needed to marry as soon as possible. The romance between a brooding bachelor of a duke struggling with his past and a debutante looking for a love match resulted in no shortage of scenes worth swooning over, but there is one in particular that was a game-changer, and a Bridgerton star spoke with CinemaBlend to break it down.Īfter Daphne finally convinced Simon that she would rather marry him than let him duel her brother, they discovered that their plans for a hasty wedding hit a snag thanks to none other than Queen Charlotte. At the core of the series, however, is the complicated love story of Simon and Daphne, whose fake relationship accidentally turned into a true romance. Bridgerton has finally arrived on Netflix with eight episodes of sparks flying, scandal, seduction, and everything in between.
