A Picture from Queen Charlotte Reveals a Huge Season 3 Detail for Lady Danbury?

Quite a while back in an interview with Kelly Clarkson, Adjoa Andoh, who plays older Lady Danbury in the Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte series, revealed that people from people’s pasts were going to come back. Many of us read that extremely vague statement as someone from Lady Danbury’s past was going to come back, and that’s the avenue I’m going to explore today.

People had a lot of guesses as to who this might be, and I’ll admit, I was skeptical on most of those since we had so little to go on. I think a lot of the things actors say before a show releases are purposefully vague and misleading because they don’t want to tip their hand, and that’s understandable. But with Queen Charlotte getting closer and knowing just how interconnected the two series are, there is bound to be overlap. Even more, I think there will be things in Queen Charlotte that will affect Bridgerton Season 3.

I think the person from Lady Danbury’s past who will be coming back is none other than Adolphus, Charlotte’s brother.

There’s been a lot speculation that Lady Danbury and Adolphus will fall in love during the limited prequel series, based mostly on a photo of the two of them talking together. I have to say, I’m pretty well convinced this is a strong possibility. Everything from the potential theme of the series, which I wrote a whole article about, to the bright pink and love-looking attire of Lady Danbury, makes me think this could very much be the case. Whether they fall for each other and act on it, are silent about it, or tell each other but don’t go further, who knows? But since we haven’t met Adolphus yet in Bridgerton, it could make sense that he’s been elsewhere and finally returns in S3, perhaps to see his sister, or even for Agatha herself, the one that got away.

Moreover, this would be a great way to tie the two series together if he is indeed the person from Agatha’s past. You wouldn’t necessarily have to watch Queen Charlotte to understand when an old beau shows up for Lady D, but it would be great incentive for people to tune in both directions. Maybe even we would see, at the end of Queen Charlotte, that Adolphus is back, but have to tune into Bridgerton S3 to see the results of that. Eeep! I’m already getting giddy thinking about it.

Honestly, this is one of the theories I have that I most hope and think is true. Sometimes I throw theories out as possibilities over probabilities, but this one is a theory I think I might be right on the mark with. All the pieces seem to fit together so perfectly, and I would love to see our older ladies getting some loving when they’re at their Bridgerton ages as well, not just in QC blush of youth. And I think Adolphus and Agatha would be a phenomenal match as a subplot in both Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, and Bridgerton Season 3.
