Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story Quotes

Is that all a king is? A royal stud-horse trotted out for the chosen mare? Or can a king rule in his own way through practical scientific study? Agricultural improvement? Tell me, what would the people prefer? A royal baby or cheap bread?

If what we have is half, then we shall make it the very best half.[to George]

I want to fight with you! Fight with me! Fight for me![King George: I do not want to fight with you.]
