They are joined by their mother Mary (Shelley Conn), who married Kate’s father when Kate was very young.įrom there, there are significant differences in the adaptation: Whereas in the book Kate is already considered a spinster at 21, in the series she is a whopping 26 and has set herself on never marrying and instead being a governess. As in the book, there is Kate, the heroine of The Viscount Who Loved Me, and her younger, beautiful half-sister Edwina (though in the book Edwina is described repeatedly as blonde and blue-eyed). In Season 2, the Sheffield family from the book becomes the Sharma-Sheffields, who have come to London from India to join in the marriage market. The Netflix series has made a conscious effort to diversify the world of Bridgerton by creating an alternate version of Regency England in which, as explained in Season 1, Queen Charlotte (Golda Rosheuvel) has racially integrated the upper classes.
