While the series is mostly focused on unveiling Queen Charlotte’s past, it will often jump back into the present-day coterie, bringing back Golda Rosheuvel to play the aged version. The series also stars Arsema Thomas (Redeeming Love) as young Lady Agatha Danbury, Michelle Fairley (Game of Thrones) as Princess Augusta, and Sam Clemment (Cherry) as young Brimsley.
