What’s wrong with King George on Queen Charlotte: the story of the Break?

Since the beginning of 1 season, Bridgerton had a beautiful relationship with history. Sometimes it pulls out quite directly from the real Regency era, while in others it creates its own completely different alternative stories. Due to the lush style of shows and romance aesthetics, this balance works quite well. However, there is one sphere where the series takes a special inspiration in real English history, namely with the character of King George III.

In Main series “Dridgerton”George (played James Fleat) is a much larger hero who is heavily paid a mysterious disease, which in most cases keeps it in bed and outside the camera. Ever since Queen Charlotte (Golda Roshovel) is just an auxiliary character at the exhibition, we only get fragments here and there their tragic love story. It is clear that George is very bad, leaving his wife almost completely delayed.

Prikwell ministry “Queen Charlotte: History of the Break” Put Charlotte (now the India Anartyphio) and George (Cora Milchrest) are the focus, revealing many more details about their relationship and the struggle of George’s mental health. To be clear, there is nothing “wrong” with George. It seems he has one or a couple of mental health conditions that the viewers think can be a variation of bipolar disorder. In the “Queen Charlotte” his condition, apparently, will deteriorate the barbaric medical practice, which is prescribed to “cure” him. When he is much older in the “Break”, George’s symptoms are likely to reflect dementia. But how accurate are these portraits to the true King George?

In the “Brewer”, King George usually remains in his wards and comes out of the public, though he occasionally lunch with Queen Charlotte when he feels good enough to do it. The Predec “Queen Charlotte” shows a much younger George who fights the early version of such issues, but the real story does not lead to the king of such diagnoses much later. It was at the beginning of the 1800s, when the “Bridgarton” occurs, and the consistent health problems made George essentially retire from the role of the monarch. He was considered unusable and officially replaced his son in 1811.

“Queen Charlotte” reflects George in a youth, obsessed with science and stars, but suffers from psychological struggle. However, the real king of George III was probably more concerned about political problems as the American Revolution. While his reputation of the “mad king” is blocked, given the modern view of his likely mental conditions, his image of both the tyrant at home and abroad is not completely unreasonable.

From the medical technology of the time and secrecy around the royal family it is impossible to say in which potential medical conditions that the true King George III can handle. Considering this, modern theories are quite well consistent with its reflection on “Bridgerton”. A 2015 study Timothy Peters, conducted at Birmingham University using “Cognitive Archeology Methods”, determined the same conditions mentioned earlier. According to the study, “the results of this analysis confirm that the king suffered from bipolar type I, with the last decade of dementia, in part, to the neurotoxicity of its recurrent episodes of acute mania.”

In other words, the George’s reflection shows “bridgerton”Although obviously very dramatized, it is actually quite accurate for what experts now believe that in fact. Both in the show and on your day in the real world, George was written off.

As mentioned, the real King George III did not have serious mental health crises (which we know) much later in our lives than what is drawn in the “Brgerton” universe. Given this, his retreat to the Ku Palace, as shown in the “Queen Charlotte”, took place in real life when it was bad. These trips just happened later in his true life.

As for the rigid and rigid medical therapies, which George is exposed to the “Queen Charlotte”, they are not far from the fact that he survived the true king as soon as his “madness” began. When the king began to experience the episodes, he was carried out through a number of procedures that we know that they would be completely inappropriate and even harmful. According to The story of heaven“These included the use of powders saturated arsenic to the king’s skin to make him burn and blister, starving it and immersing it in the freezing of cold water. The king was also given emetics to force him to vomit and clean him to give him diarrhea (sic ). “Dr. John Monroe, who played Guy Henry on” Queen Charlotte “, was also a” crazy doctor “, as he said about his field. However, he did not work directly with King George and actually died a few years before the King’s “madness” came.

Sometimes also used prolitics and kogi for the “restraint” of the king. Although we will never know the exact nature of its condition, it is safe to say that George would be better with a much less violent regime and a deeper understanding of mental health. However, as the king of England, it is possible that some percentage of his more aggressive episodes had more relevant to his attitude to power than his basic medical conditions.

“Bridgerton” and “Queen Charlotte: The History of the Break” goes to Netflix.
