Besides Penelope and Colin’s passionate scene in the carriage, which holds many secrets, the first part of ‘Bridgerton’ season 3 gave us other romantic, exciting and even strange moments.
As in the previous installments, Queen Charlotte, played by Golda Rochevel, captivated the audience with short, but at the same time hilarious scenes.
Throughout the three seasons, in several of her appearances the monarch shows a very special activity: she sniffs a brown powder from her nose. Although some fans were shocked to see it and thought it was a drug, it is anything but. We explain to you.
What is the dust that Queen Charlotte sweeps up in “Bridgerton” and what is it for?
Since the first season of the Netflix series, the Queen of England has made clear her taste for a brown powder known as “snuff” (Spanish for snuff), which isn’t an exotic or illegal substance, as it’s actually just tobacco.
According to the National Cancer Institute, “snuff” or snuff is obtained by grinding the leaves of the tobacco plant. It can also be combined with other spices or aromas so that the person experiences a different taste or aroma than tobacco alone.
Like tobacco that is smoked or chewed, snuff, also known as snuff, contains nicotine and chemicals that can also cause cancer.
According to information from the ‘Revolutionary Players’ history website, supported by the University of Birmingham, in the 18th century ‘snuff’ was used by all social classes.
However, once Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, from whom Queen Charlotte of “Bridgerton” is inspired, took a deep interest in this powder, something more subtle became of the nobility. In fact, Queen Charlotte’s real taste for snuff earned her the nickname ‘Snuffy Charlotte’.
In addition, having a ‘snuffbox’ – box of tobacco powder – made of silver, marble, gold and other expensive materials was considered luxury and status.
‘Bridgerton’ Queen Charlotte actress did not inhale ‘snuff’ or snuff in real life
Golda Rosheuvel, who plays Queen Charlotte, does not inhale snuff in the scenes in which her character inhales. Instead, he used a “harmless powder,” as he explained to “Decider.” According to the actress, it is a kind of sugar.
