Netflix‘s highly anticipated upcoming series produced by Shonda Rhimes and Nicholas Nardini, is set to hit the screens on May 4, 2023. The show is a historical fiction set in the Regency era, focusing on the British monarchy’s political intrigue, scandals, and family dynamics.

Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was Queen of Great Britain and of Ireland as the wife of King George III from their marriage on 8 September 1761 until her death in 1818. Both kingdoms were in a personal union under George until the Acts of Union 1800 merged them on 1 January 1801.
As the trailer reveals, Queen‘s marriage to King George III (played by Tom York) was not about romance but national security. She was expected to bear as many babies as possible and adhere to strict court etiquette while navigating the suffocating pressure of her new life. Despite these challenges, the Queen and King George III turn their transactional marriage into a whirlwind fairytale romance, a story that would test their resilience against power struggles, racial tensions, and palace intrigue.
