00:00You don't want that when someone is that beautiful.

00:02You've got to think there's something, there's got to be something that's not perfect about you.

00:05And he was just, he was a class act.

00:08The stars of Queen Charlotte are spilling all the royalty on Bridgerton's buzzy new prequel series.

00:14The spinoff follows Queen Charlotte's rise to prominence and power,

00:18and the story of how the young queen's marriage to King George sparked both a great love story and a societal shift,

00:25creating the world of the ton inherited by the characters in Bridgerton.

00:28For Queen Charlotte herself, Golda Rochevelle, it was important to pass the baton in the prequel series

00:34to the character's younger counterpart, played by India Amartifio.

00:38How was it watching her in this role, and were there parts of this character that you worked on together?

00:42Charlotte's very much a woman who stands in her own space, in her own womanhood.

00:49And I think to impose anything on India would have been disrespectful to the character,

00:56but I'd pass her on with the grace and generosity that, yeah, I could.

01:02And she went with it. It was fabulous.

01:05As for the young queen, Amartifio opened up about entering such a massive franchise,

01:10and what viewers can expect from the monarch in her earlier years.

01:13We see Charlotte as, you know, so kind of knowing and is the mother, basically, of this whole society in Bridgerton.

01:22She's got her, you know, stuff together.

01:25But we know that she's not hiding, but almost hiding this part of her,

01:29impressing this love for this man who she can't, is not tangible to her anymore.

01:34Newcomer Arceema Thomas also counts herself among the Bridgerton fan club,

01:38and opened up about booking the coveted role of young Lady Danbury as her on-screen debut.

01:43Well, I heard you booked this while still in school.

01:47Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:48I was starting my second year of my Master's of Fine Arts program.

01:53Oh my gosh.

01:53So how much does booking this role and being a part of this franchise mean to you?

01:58Gosh, it initially was just a job,

02:02and now it actually has taken on a very valuable part of my life, I think,

02:09because this show just is so revealing of the experience of Black women,

02:16and as a Black woman, I find it just highly relatable.

02:21And so you can't help but bring it into your personal life.

02:25The spinoff also puts some familiar characters to the forefront

02:28and introduces some new ones as well that play an important part to the story.

02:32And I'm excited for fans to see the sparks fly between you guys.

02:36What are you excited for fans to take away from this relationship?

02:40It's also massively important that people feel represented by what they see on this screen.

02:44Yeah, absolutely.

02:44The whole thing has been a completely amazing experience.

02:46I think probably our favorite scene was the scene in...

02:51I'm doing... Can I do this one?

02:52Episode 4.

02:53Episode 4. Yeah, yeah.

02:54The scene in Episode 4 when we're preparing dinner for George and Charlotte,

02:58and we're bickering and talking about his...

03:00Bits.

03:01Yeah.

03:01But that was weirdly the first scene.

03:05That was my first ever scene that I'd found.

03:07Yeah.

03:07And that was our first scene.

03:08First scene together.

03:09And it was just...

03:10It was just popping up.

03:11Yeah.

03:11It was amazing.

03:12So we peaked on day one, basically.

03:14And then it was just all downhill from there.

03:15It was all downhill from there.

03:16The cast also shared the advice they received from the original cast

03:20and working with their characters' present-day counterparts,

03:23like Rochevel as Queen Charlotte,

03:25Hugh Saxe as Brimsley,

03:26and Adjua Ando as Lady Danbury.

03:28God, I gave you some good advice.

03:30Did she?

03:30Yeah.

03:31She did.

03:34She basically just came over.

03:36Make it your own.

03:36She did.

03:37She said, make it my own,

03:38which is really kind of her.

03:39There was two things.

03:40We talked about the physicality of the character,

03:43and one of the things I'd really seen within him watching it,

03:47because there's a lot that goes unspoken with this character,

03:49and the physicality is such a huge part of their day-to-day

03:52and how they hold themselves,

03:53and how they have to hold themselves.

03:54We definitely chatted.

03:56I was initially just a massive fan,

03:59so I was like, I just want to talk to you forever about your own personal life.

04:02But then we just talked about the stuff that wasn't on the script, you know?

04:04Like, what did Agatha do when she was 13?

04:08Has she ever kept a secret?

04:10Does she like carrots or broccoli?

04:13Corey Milcreast, who plays the young King George,

04:15also discussed running into Bridgerton breakout Regé-Jean Page

04:19and the advice given to him by an unlikely source?

04:22Regé and I are running different races.

04:26He is maybe the most...

04:28I met him at a party full of incredibly beautiful and famous people,

04:35and he was noticeably beautiful.

04:37You don't want that when someone is that beautiful.

04:39You've got to think there's something...

04:41There's got to be something that's not perfect about you,

04:42and he was just...

04:43He was class act.

04:45He said to me, I'm going to give you the same advice

04:47that Jamie Foxx gave to me yesterday.

04:50Wow.

04:51And he said, if there's anything outside of the stuff

04:54that is useful for what will propel you

04:58between action and cut, then it doesn't exist.

05:02And everything that is useful for that, take it on board.

05:05Queen Charlotte is streaming now on Netflix.
