Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Quotes

Queen Charlotte: Get started. One of you had better produce the next ruler of the United Kingdom, or your father's line dies with him. Make me a royal baby.

Prince Edward: Mother, you can't really expect us to...

Queen Charlotte: It is not a difficult task. Your father and I made 15 royal babies all by ourselves. I do not see why the whole lot of you cannot make just one.

Queen Charlotte: The only heir to the throne is dead. (Prince starts to sob) Sorrows, sorrows. Prayers. I am stating facts. The princesses have had no babies. The princes have had a record number of babies. Illegitimate wh*re babies. We had one heir, one royal, and she is gone. (Prince sobs again) Sorrows. Prayers. Children, this is a crisis.

Queen Charlotte: And where are your babies? You have made zero heirs to the throne.

Princess Elizabeth: I am trying.

Queen Charlotte: Are you? Really? Dearest, I explained everything to you. I drew you pictures. You are doing it correctly? Making sure he's putting it in the right place?

Prince Edward: My word. There are impressionable ladies present.

Queen Charlotte: Impressionable? Trust me, Edward. No sexual innuendo makes an impression upon your sisters. I wish it did, that they might get ideas to marry and start fornicating.

Princess: Mother!

Queen Charlotte: Perhaps, then, I might have legitimate grandbabies. Instead, virgins to the left of me, wh*res to the right.

Queen Charlotte (to doctor): Have you no sense? It is treasonous to interrupt my beauty sleep. You're lucky my face is a rare jewel. If I could still have people beheaded, you would be in the queue.

Charlotte (to Adolphus): There is reason they wanted me, a stranger. And it cannot be a good reason. I know it cannot be a good reason because you have not looked me in the eye since you told me.
