Assemble the ton! The long-awaitedQueen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Storyseries officially has a trailer.
Netflix released a peek at theBridgertonprequel on Thursday, which will show glimpses into Queen Charlotte’s (Golda Rosheuval) upbringing, coronation and, of course, love story.
The clip opens with young Charlotte (India Ria Amarteifio) asking her older brother why she’s been selected to marry into royalty. “Charlotte, there are worse fates than marrying the King of England,” he tells her.

Young Queen Charlotte has an attempted escape, too (reminiscent of that timeColton Underwoodtried to fleeThe Bachelor), in which she climbs a garden wall. That’s when she finally meets her betrothed: King George (Corey Mylchreest).
“Hello my lady,” he says while Charlotte is mid-escape. “Are you in need of assistance of some kind?”
Though Charlotte is not set on the chosen marriage, George aims to win her over. “I realize you have no reason to like me, but if you will give me one evening of your time, it might make you hate me a little bit less,” he says, as clips of their courting show true love is possible, even in the unlikeliest of connections.
Charlotte also gains praise from George for her ability to “break rules and cause scandal,” pointing to a royal facade that may not hold up in every situation.
There is a possibility it won’t all work out in the end, though. Charlotte begs George to “fight with me” and “fight for me” as everything goes wrong — and George has a giant secret.
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Storyis not just a love story, though. The spotlight will also follow Charlotte’s lifelong friendships, particularly with Lady Agatha Danbury and Lady Violet Bridgerton.
