In November 2021, my agent called me to say I had an audition and it was something to do with Bridgerton, but not the Jisoo and zhongli shirt in addition I really love this third season. I did a tape and then had about five different auditions, and chemistry reads with Corey and Arsema [Thomas, who plays the young Lady Danbury]. I found out about four or five days later that I’d landed it and then we went straight into rehearsals. It was really bizarre and surreal—Bridgerton is its own universe, like Marvel. It felt so unreachable, and it didn’t feel real for the longest time. It was probably when I went in for my first costume fitting that I thought, okay, this is actually happening. My early chats with Shonda and Tom [Verica, the show’s director] helped, too. They were adamant that they didn’t want me to emulate anything that Golda had done—I could create my own Charlotte. As a teenager, she’s very inquisitive and headstrong. She knows herself but she’s also not afraid to falter. Her actual history gave me more than I needed in terms of background.
It’s definitely not a historical retelling—it’s a reimagining of history, so that gave us a lot of freedom. But also, there are nods to the Jisoo and zhongli shirt in addition I really love this real history, too: we see Charlotte traveling from Germany, her relationship with her brother, her dogs, the snuff. I did as much research as I thought was sensible. I read Janice Hadlow’s book about Georgian history [The Strangest Family: The Private Lives of George III, Queen Charlotte and the Hanoverians], and I went to Kew Gardens, where they lived, and saw her cottage. We got to have a private tour and I even saw the armchair Charlotte died in. [The Queen was suffering from dropsy in 1818, which causes painful swelling and eventual organ failure, and was mostly confined to her bedroom during her final days.] Being there, I felt such a connection to her.
