How to Shop the Bridgerverse Before the Premiere of ‘Queen Charlotte’

From No. 1 New York Times best-selling author Julia Quinn and executive producer Shonda Rhimes, this stirring and romantic novel is inspired by the Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story series. Open the cover, see where it all began, and settle in to experience how this love match for the ages unfolded. Here, we meet young Queen Charlotte and King George III as they fall in love with each other. The monarchy has its secrets, but as beautiful and intelligent Charlotte, born German Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, is thrust into her new role and navigates the intricate politics of the English court, we see why many might say she is the most royal person the world has ever known. Available May 9, 2023.

Inspired by the world of Bridgerton, the second collection from Monica Rich Kosann and acclaimed Bridgerton costume designer Ellen Mirojnick, available in May 2023, will expand on the first collection released last year and highlight 18-karat gold, sterling silver, and diamond designs with a bracelet, stud earrings, a crown necklace, and more. Let this collection remind you of your own singular royal attributes or, perhaps, the love you share with another. As stated by Queen Charlotte, “We are one crown. His weight is mine, and mine is his.”
