![]() ![]() Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story begins with the arrival of young Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (played with excellent proto-feminist pizazz by India Amarteifio) in London, ready to embark on her arranged marriage with King George III (a disappointingly insipid Corey Mylchreest) and fall in love, despite the challenges presented by the King’s nascent madness. A spin-off was perhaps inevitable (and the third series is also due out later this year). The intimate acrobatics of Queen Charlotte and her new husband King George III are given top billing.īridgerton is one of Netflix’s hottest properties, with the first two series bringing in more than 600 million viewers each. There is first-time sex, hate sex, bath sex, even “to hell with the courtiers watching us” sex. But if you found the second series of Bridgerton lacking in the bedroom department, you will be delighted to know that in the new prequel, Queen Charlotte, sex is back. And last but definitely not least, a respectful co-star.Unlike the red-hot antics of the first season of Bridgerton, its 2022 follow-up was reduced to mostly steamy glances. That's important for us to see, because it's not like it doesn't happen."Īs for some additional tricks often used on set when filming love scenes, common must-haves are some aloe vera (prevents chafing and skin irritation), a pillow (to put in between each of the actor's pelvic area) and plenty of modesty gear. Simone Ashley said: "We were in a very safe environment and we worked with an incredible intimacy coordinator who encouraged us to portray what it is for the female character to experience pleasure. He continued: "It's pretty silly really and we have some hilarious moments, but it makes it less awkward." So what the half-inflated netball and similar objects like it can do is act as a barrier between the actors, allowing for movement without them having to have too much skin-on-skin. ![]() So what exactly does a half-inflated netball allude to you may ask?īailey went on to explain that when two actors are performing a sex scene, the rule is they must "have barriers separating them". And it's amazing what you can do with a half-inflated netball." There are new tricks to the trade - little cushions. He said: "It's amazing how that whole industry has just come on, even in a year. It was more intricately choreographed than our dance routines in a way, so I never really felt exposed at all."īailey spoke to the Radio Timesabout his season two scenes with Kate Sharma, played by Simone Ashley. And we'd have props, like mats, that went in between us. I would literally know exactly where a guy was going to put his hand at what moment. "So we had to work really hard to make sure that if there's ever any rolling action - which happens quite a lot in these scenes - that they didn't accidentally roll off the bed."Īnd along with the choreography, plenty of 'intimacy props' were used during filming too.Īs Phoebe Dynevor told The Guardian: "We would rehearse the sex scenes like stunts. Reǵe being as tall as he is, is not really suited to a Regency-sized bed, lengthwise or even widthwise when there’s two people on it," she said. "So many scenes we did involved beds of Regency size. Listen to the latest episode of The Spill today. Especially when acting on a Regency-era sized bed. Talbot said one of the biggest challenges when filming the love scenes between Daphne and Simon was the sheer height difference between the two actors. It's interesting to know that a four-minute sex montage like the one we saw on the first season of Bridgerton, where Daphne and Simon get it on in every corner of the castle, can take weeks to plan into single choreographed moments. Choreography apparently makes or breaks a scene.
