Bridgerton matriarch Violet (Ruth Gemmell), was born in 1766, which means that she is 47 years old during the first season of the program. It also means that she had her first child at 18.
QUEEN CHARLOTTE
Character age: 69?

In fact, there was a Queen Carlota, who was married to King George III. She was married to him from 1761 until his death in 1818. During the events of the first season, which takes place in 1813, she was 69 years old.
Golda Rosheuvel, who plays Queen Charlotte, is considerably younger at 49, so the producers are likely to have decided to leave her younger character for the show.
