Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story has now arrived on Netflix, providing us with a look into the fictional, but not entirely fictional, monarch.
While the spin-off focuses on Queen Charlotte and her marriage to King George III, there is a subliminal nod to the main series.
In the second episode, Honeymoon Bliss, we witness Violet Bridgerton (Ruth Gemmell) playing with two little children. It’s around 8:50 if you just want to go back and check for yourself.
Lady Whistledown (Julie Andrews) adds, ‘There are certain very unique delights well worth waiting for,’ as the grandmother spends time with the grandchildren.
Of course, the elder baby is Simon Basset’s (Regé-Jean Page) and Daphne Bridgerton‘s (Phoebe Dynevor‘s), but the second lovely tot has yet to be unveiled to the audiences.
Unless Violet has a part-time job as a babysitter, this suggests she has a grandchild.
It might be Simon and Daphne’s second kid, but it could also be Anthony Bridgerton‘s (Jonathan Bailey) and Kate Sharma’s (Simone Ashley), who were the subject of the second season.
Viewers reacted quickly on Twitter to the offspring.
‘DID KATE AND ANTHONY HAVE A BABY?!??????’ – Their capitals and punctuation were completely necessary to address their shock of course.
Another added: ‘I wonder if the baby Bridgerton is Simon and Daphne second child or Kate and Anthony first child.’

One viewer was concerned that they’d removed Kate and Antony’s chance for a big reveal, and added if that was the case they’d be so ‘p****d.’

However, hopes are dashed further down the series when Violet states that Anthony and Kate are still on their honeymoon.

Unless they went on a nine-mouth-long jaunt and then shipped the baby back before them it’s unlikely to their baby.
In the books by Julia Quinn which the show is based on, Simon and Daphne do have five children, while Antony and Kate are just behind with four.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is available to watch on Netflix.
