The biggest changes to Bridgerton season 3 from the books

And Francesca Bridgerton?

Francesca Bridgerton (Hannah Dodd) is unfortunately sometimes considered the forgotten child of the Bridgertons, not because her family doesn’t love her, but because, as she does in the series, the sixth Bridgerton sibling prefers peace and quiet .

In the book series, it is casually mentioned that Francesca was reunited with her husband seven years ago. Before we resume with Penelope and Colin. However, executive producer Shonda Rhimes and the team decided to combine part of the book intrigues with Francesca, Colin and Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) all looking for love in season three. This brings us to…

In the TV show, Francesca becomes Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) “diamond” of the season and finds herself courted by the queen’s choice, Lord Samadani (David Mumeni), as well as by her favorite suitor, John Stirling, Earl of Kilmartin (Victor Alli). (Unfortunately, Queen Charlotte is not a character in the books, which means the monarch – and her truly fantastic headdresses – never anoints a “diamond.” of all season.)

We will further avoid of the novel spoilers for Francesca, as there will likely be a lot of development on her in The Bridgerton Chronicles second part-but if you are interested in spoilers, her story is developed in the sixth book of Bridgerton, When he was bad.
