King George: I am a madman. I am a danger. In my mind, there are different worlds creeping in. The heavens and Earth collide. I do not know where I am.

Queen Charlotte: Do you love me?

King George: You do not wish a life with me for yourself. No one wishes that.

Queen Charlotte: George! I will stand with you between the heavens and the Earth. I will tell you where you are. Do you love me?

King George: I love you! From the mo... From the moment I saw you trying to go over the wall... I have loved you desperately. I cannot breathe when you are not near. I love you, Charlotte. My heart calls your name.

Doctor Monro: Your Majesty must understand. However distressing, my methods are proven. I desire the king's sanity as fervently as Your Majesty.

Queen Charlotte: I care not for his sanity. I care for his happiness. I care for his soul. Let him be mad if mad is what he needs.

Queen Charlotte: This is not the life I wished for.

Lady Danbury: We are women. And the men who hold our fates hardly conceive we have desires, dreams of our own. If we are ever to live the lives we want, we have to make them conceive it. Our bravery. Our force of will will be their proof.

Lady Danbury (to her son): You are Lord Danbury. And you will take your rightful place because you are entitled to it. And because you are my son. You are the son of Agatha Danbury, born name Soma, Royal Blood of the Kpa-Mende Bo tribe in Sierra Leone. You come from warriors. We win. Never forget that.

Lady Danbury (to Violet): What do we know of one another? Really know beyond pedigrees and widowhood? What do any of the women of the ton know of true friendship? It is all social chatter, marital schemes, and gossip. You opened yourself up to show me who you are. That was brave. We mothers and aunts and leaders of the ton, we spend our time endlessly matchmaking, talking of wooing. Of love. Of romance. But never for anyone mature enough to truly understand what any of it means. What it is to go without it. What it is to lose it. We are full of gossip and story, but as women, we are never the topics of the conversation. Lady Whistledown never writes of our hearts. We are untold stories. Yesterday, you told me something of your story. And I... thank you.

Adolphus: Inside you ripens the fruit of England, and until that fruit is ripe, your body is but a... a tree, a tree in the orchard of the Crown, and at such time as it...

Queen Charlotte: I am a tree?

Adolphus: I... I mean to say only that the child inside you is not yours.

Queen Charlotte: My body is growing it.

Adolphus: What matter?

Queen Charlotte: What matter? Well, you try growing it.

Adolphus: Your body is not your own. To leave the kingdom now would be treason. King-napping.

Adolphus: You are emotional.

Queen Charlotte: Please say that one more time. I shall have you beheaded.

Queen Charlotte: We need to discuss the flowers for the wedding.

Prince William: That will not be necessary, Mother, as there'll not be a wedding.

Prince Edward: You forgot something the other day.

Prince William: Our eldest brother, George, the Prince of Wales.

Prince Edward: Prince Regent of England. The man in charge since father's incapacity.

Prince William: The man, according to the Royal Marriages Act of Parliament, with the sole authority to approve any marriage within the royal house. Including ours.

Prince Edward: Only he hasn't approved them. And he will not. He is quite offended, see, that you did not consult him first.

Queen Charlotte: You are right.

Prince William: We are?

Queen Charlotte: I forgot myself. I overstepped. As Prince Regent, the matter rests entirely in the Prince of Wales's hands. He is acting sovereign and ultimate authority.

Prince Edward: Quite right.

Queen Charlotte: Now, Georgie, be a good boy and approve your brothers' marriages.

Prince George: I approve.

King George: When I was an infant, my colic was never just colic. My colic was a disaster. An ill omen. The potential... ruin of England. When I was a boy, refusal to eat my peas was the potential ruin of England. An incorrect sum at mathematics, the potential ruin of England. I have lived my entire life in terror of acting incorrectly because every incorrect action threatened the ruin of England. That terror nearly broke me. I found places to hide. My farms, my observatory. My madness. I thought that terror was the price of being royal. Now, I have met a woman who is never terrified. Who does as she pleases. Breaks rules, courts scandal. Commits unthinkable impertinences. And she is the most royal person I have ever known.

Princess Augusta: Every day you fail to produce an heir, our family's position weakens.

King George: Right. Thank you for the cue. Now I ask, is that all a king is? A royal stud-horse trotted out for the chosen mare? Or can a king rule in his own way through practical scientific study? Agricultural improvement? Tell me, what would the people prefer? A royal baby or cheap bread?

Princess Augusta: Right now, they have neither.

Queen Charlotte: Brimsley, do not attempt to flatter me by talking about my children. It makes me dislike you more. Answer the question. Why have my girls never married?

Brimsley: Y... Your daughters... They are good girls. They love you. And the king... It... It happened so early. You were so young. If he had died, maybe you would have been hurt, grieved, but eventually, you would have healed and moved on. Instead...

Queen Charlotte: What? Spit it out, Brimsley. Do not become sentimental now.

Brimsley: You are still his queen. Forever frozen. Forever waiting. Your daughters could not leave you here trapped in time.

Queen Charlotte (almost crying): Go and stand over there and stop talking. Look that way. Not at me.

Lady Danbury: Coral, you need not draw baths as often.

Coral: Nonsense, my lady. It is simple now we have a full staff. Today, I've even had the new housemaid press lavender oil.

Lady Danbury: Coral! You need not draw baths as often.

Coral: My Lady. We are... We are done?

Lady Danbury: We are done.

Queen Charlotte: You live for the happiness and the misery of a great nation.

King George: Charlotte.

Queen Charlotte: No. I am saying I understand. You live for the happiness and the misery of a great nation. That must be exhausting and lonely. You must feel caged. No wonder you spend so much time in the garden.

King George: In the garden, I am a regular man.

Queen Charlotte: Farmer George.

King George: Do not feel sorry for me. I do not know anything else. I've always been this. An exhibit instead of a person.

Queen Charlotte: You are a person to me. You can be a person with me. No more even days and odd days.

King George: We shall just have days.

Lady Danbury: You are the queen. And this feels beneath you, but if you were not the queen...

Queen Charlotte: But I am.

Lady Danbury: But if you were not... your life here would be very different. Do you not understand? You are the first of your kind. That opened doors, so we are new. Do you not see us? What you are meant to do for us? I tell you to consummate. I tell you to become with child. I tell you to endure. For a reason. You're so preoccupied with whether a man likes you. You're not some simpering girl. You are our queen. Your focus should be your country. Your people. Our side. Why do you not understand that you hold our fates in your hands? Your palace walls are too high, Your Majesty.
