"A strong queen is just what this country needs!"
The Irish who know the queen in question as the famine queen:
#queen charlotte#queen charlotte a bridgerton story#bridgerton spoilers#a feminist moment for the ultimate anti feminist that was queen victoria#massive yikes just thinking of her involvement in the history of my country alone#over a million people starved & the British Parliament refused to accept financial aid from abroad#if they were offering more money than Victoria because they didn't want them to outdo the queen#and what she gave was pitiful considering her wealth#indigenous people as well as literal enslaved people across the Atlantic gave more financial aid than she did#yes bridgerton is fictional but the historical figures depicted had a real world impact#so much of which is still felt today#and just because Victoria was queen and not a king it doesn't make her crowning a win for feminism#Victoria historically was very very anti feminist#i don't know enough on george iii or Charlotte to comment on them but i know plenty about Victoria#haven't cringed so hard at a line since the famine episode of victoria the things i watch for leo suter#but as much as Victoria herself was portrayed inaccurately in that ep#at least it introduced the history of the famine to people who weren't taught about it at school#bridgerton
