At the beginning of May, the long-awaited series arrived on Netflix “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story”, which is a spin off that focuses on the love life of two future kings and was so well received that it was placed in the top positions of the most popular content.
The historian finds a mistake in the “Queen Charlotte” paintings: people who were not born appear
Being a period series, History has a lot to do with it and of course, although it is fiction, it is based on some real events. However, apparently the production in question made some mistakes, which ended up surprising the audience.
If you look closely at the chapters, you can see that there is a wide variety of paintings in the scenes, whether they are landscapes or people.
Although they seem like simple decoration that doesn’t add much importance to the plot, it turns out that some were misplaced, because according to fashion historian Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell, many of them do not belong to the period of the plot.
“Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” specifies that it takes place in two time periods, namely the years 1761 and 1817.
The young woman noticed that in a scene where the protagonist goes to a dance, the room where it takes place is full of paintings of royal figures that did not even exist at the time.
In a thread he set up on Twitter, he explained exactly who the people on the canvases were, when they were born and why they shouldn’t be there, starting with Queen Victoria.
In a second image, he showed that another incorrect painting was that of Queen Adelaide, as this portrait featured in “Queen Charlotte” was painted 75 years after the timeline in which the plot takes place.
As if that wasn’t enough, he discovered that Princess Victoria’s husband, namely Prince Albert, also has his own portrait in the spin off, which was painted in 1843, meaning that by 1761 he hadn’t even been born.
The discovery of the error in “Queen Charlotte” divided opinion
Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell’s discoveries were made public on May 7 and have been viewed more than 4.5 million times.
People did not hesitate to show their impressions, since they had no idea that “Queen Charlotte” did not respect the story and others assured that the young woman exaggerated, since it was fiction after all.
In closing her post, the expert historian confirmed that indeed, “Bridgerton” and “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story” have an alternate historical universe, but it would be more convincing and interesting if it anchored the real story internally, thematically. and vision.
