Warning: spoilers ahead for Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
Bridgerton fans have high expectations for the forthcoming prequel spin-off series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
Many people who have seen all six episodes of the Netflix show (while waiting for season 3 of Bridgerton, of course) have been singing its praises since its debut.
Members of the ensemble, ranging from Golda Rosheuvel to India Amarteifio, have received significant appreciation for their performances, with the historical drama’s conclusion leaving viewers carried away with a rush of various emotions.
Here’s what occurred in the season finale, from the probable discovery of Lady Danbury’s secret to pregnancies, a turned-down engagement, and a royal success of a ball.
Violet considers new romance – but has she discovered Lady Danbury’s secret?

Several years after her husband Edmund’s death, the Dowager Viscountess Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) feels ready to explore romance again – though she’s not sure what form she’d like it to take.
Violet discovers a paper crown at her friend’s home while confiding in Lady Danbury (Adjoa Andoh) about her feelings… Her father, Lord Ledger (Keir Charles), used to make her these as a youngster.
Violet displays all of the birthday crowns that her father used to create for her when Lady Danbury comes around for tea one day.
Through their eyes, an unspoken conversation appears to take place between the two women, implying that Violet has deduced that Lady Danbury was romantically involved with her father, especially since the doyenne of high society has confessed that she experienced love from a man after the death of her husband.
Without saying anything, the two women carry on with their tea as usual, clearly putting the revelation behind them.
Charlotte and George confess their love and welcome their first child

Charlotte has been perplexed by George’s (Corey Mylchreest) attempts to keep her at a safe distance since their wedding, believing that she has failed as a wife or a Queen.
However, now that she is pregnant and has learned about his mental health issues, she realises that her initial assumption may not be correct – George may be pushing her away because he cares for her, or even loves her.
She asks him directly in his observatory, disregarding his pleas for her to leave him by asking him whether he loves her, leading in them both ultimately professing their love for one another in an absolutely beautiful way.
When Charlotte goes into labour, George defies the advice of other men, including the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Prime Minister, and enters the room to be with his wife, who is giving birth to a baby in breach.
Using his experience with animals on the farm, George assists in the birth, and Charlotte welcomes a healthy baby boy, the first of many children.
King is unable to address Parliament but Queen remains his pillar of strength

Throughout the season, there have been concerns from politicians over the King’s mental state, and the time has come for him to prove to them that he has what it takes to maintain his position.
Charlotte encourages him to make his much-needed address to Parliament, seeing him off as he travels in his carriage with his speech in his hand.
However, when he arrives, George cannot bring himself to get out of the carriage, laying down on the floor in an anxious state as his secretary Reynolds (Freddie Dennis) looks on helplessly, unable to open the locked door.
When Charlotte questions Reynolds about what happened, the servant explains that George wasn’t ok when they left, but was simply feeling the hope that she had instilled in him.
Brimsley and Reynolds’ love story has potentially heartbreaking end

Charlotte and George host a royal ball to celebrate the birth of their son, which is not only a reason for joy, but also an opportunity for them to demonstrate to society that the King is capable of being seen in public and addressing the masses.
While the Tonne members dance in their couples to the orchestral music at the ball, Brimsley (Sam Clemmett) and Reynolds dance in private, where no one can see them.
During their dance, the scene cuts to an older version of Brimsley (Hugh Sachs), who is reliving a fond memory while dancing on his own.
While not confirmed, this appears to imply that at some point during their lives while serving the King and Queen, Reynolds died, leaving Brimsley without the love of his life.
Lady Danbury turns down proposal to make important life decision

Lady Danbury ( Arsema Thomas) tells Charlotte’s brother Adolphus (Tunji Kasim) during the royal ball that she cannot marry him after receiving a marriage proposal from him.
It’s not because he’s bad – he’d provide her a happy and secure existence – but since she was married off to a guy as soon as she was of age, a man who was many years her older and whom she despised, she just doesn’t want to marry anybody again.
‘I spent my life breathing someone else’s air. I do not know any other way. Now it is time that I learn to breathe all on my own,’ she states.
Later, Charlotte confronts Lady Danbury about her decision, adding that she is disappointed that she did not approach her directly about her inheritance and title, instead going to the King’s mother Princess Augusta (Michelle Fairley).
Charlotte says that Lady Danbury should always come straight to her for assistance in the future, solidifying their everlasting relationship.
Royal ball is a huge success – and Charlotte shares happy news

The royal ball is a big success, despite George’s nervousness, with the royal couple toasting the spectators and dancing in front of them, concentrating exclusively on each other.
Princess Augusta even pays Charlotte a rare complement during a one-on-one meeting, recognising and thanking her daughter-in-law for making her son happy.
George is attempting to get others to join him in a toast at the conclusion of the night.
When he tries to entice Charlotte, she declines, revealing that she’s pregnant again, much to their delight.
Older Queen Charlotte prepares to welcome famous grandchild with beloved husband

In the present day of the Bridgerton world, the Queen has come under fire from her children for forcing them to have children in order to guarantee the King’s dynasty continues.
Her children approach her about her harsh judgement, saying that they had lost pregnancies without her knowledge and arguing that while she was always their Queen, she was not always a sympathetic mother to them, forcing her to consider their terrible facts.
The Queen’s fourth son, Prince Edward (Jack Michael Stacey), pays her a visit with his wife and announces that they are expecting a child.
When Edward’s wife, Princess Victoria (Florence Dobson), admits she believes the baby will be a girl, Charlotte says, ‘A girl is wonderful, and a strong Queen is just what this country needs.’
In actual life, this girl grew up to become Queen Victoria, the longest-reigning British queen in history until her great-great-granddaughter, Queen Elizabeth II, surpassed her.
Charlotte lavishes her kid with real care before presenting the joyous news to her husband George (James Fleet), the two of them sleeping beneath the bed in his secure zone where they may hide from the skies.
The performers flutter between the younger and older versions of the characters as the pair stare at one other, George clearly recognises his wife, illustrating Charlotte and George’s undying love in a very poignant climax.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is available to watch on Netflix.
