Polly Walker plays Portia, Dowager Baroness Featherington

Lady Portia Featherington is the ambitious mother of the Featherington daughters. Aware her family lacks the status and fortune of the Bridgertons, she’s focused on securing advantageous marriages for her daughters. She’s particularly thrilled that Penelope is now connected to the Bridgertons and that the Featheringtons have a new male heir, improving their prospects.

If you’ve been watching Polly Walker lately, you’ve definitely seen a lot of her! She’s been incredibly busy with TV roles.

Her marriage to a Black woman years prior caused significant societal shifts, improving the standing of Black people and other minority groups. As a character, Queen Charlotte is known for being a bit of a gossip, delighting in the love lives of the upper class – and often meddling in them! She’s also fiercely opinionated and doesn’t tolerate foolishness.

The character of Queen Charlotte is inspired by the real Queen Charlotte, who was married to King George III. As King George III experienced more and more mental and physical health problems, their oldest son was named Prince Regent to govern in his stead. Her life was recently depicted in the Bridgerton prequel, Queen Charlotte, where she’s also shown actively seeking out a genuine and admirable woman to join high society.

He’s wealthy, attractive, and known for his charm. While he initially didn’t want to get married or find a deep connection, he eventually fell in love with Kate and they are now married.

Cast of Bridgerton seasons 1, 2 and 3

Sam Phillips plays Lord Alfred Debling

However, in the third season, she surprisingly becomes friends with Eloise, forming an unexpected bond after a falling out with Penelope. The two are now close companions in London’s high society.

I’m always curious about where I’ve seen actors before, and with Jessica Madsen, she’s popped up in some interesting places! I recognize her from roles in films like Rambo: Last Blood and Leatherface, but she’s also been in the series Mr Selfridge and the movie Tina and Bobby. She’s been steadily building a cool filmography, and Dark Light is another title I remember seeing her in.

He shows up at the start of the first season having just inherited the title and comes back to London, but he’s really not planning on staying long. Everyone, especially Lady Danbury, is hoping he’ll find a wife, but he’s pretty set on not getting married – and definitely wants to avoid all the mothers pushing their daughters at him! Sadly, he’s not around at all in season two.

Besides Bridgerton, Regé-Jean Page has appeared in several other shows. Like Phoebe Dynevor, he was on Waterloo Road, though their time on the series didn’t overlap—he joined in 2015 as Guy Braxton after she’d already left.
