#prince friedrich
I am proud to announce that every single man in my life will now be expected to live up to the standards that the respectable gentlemen of Bridgerton left me with. Good luck
if season 3 give us edwina/prince friedrich romance plot line i don’t know why but i feel in my guts that freddie stroma and charithra chandran would have amazing chemistry
S3 Edwina could be so interesting! She became a traumatised jaded young woman in s2 who doesn’t believe in love or happy endings. So she goes into the new season with a cynical mindset: she’s there to find a husband, not love. This is an arrangement of convenience, devoid of emotions. She’s also more guarded and detached because the lies in s2 eroded her trust in people and her self-confidence. So Edwina second guesses everyone and herself “are they lying? Am I just too blind?” There’d be this ambivalence between Edwina not believing in love but deep down hoping it’s true.
Enter the prince, who’s been burnt as well but his aunt insists he meets Edwina (queen Charlotte would be a HUGE shipper). He does and it’s love at first sight for him. He’s mesmerised by her and her sarcastic quips (she’s much more open about what she thinks now). But something’s holding her back. Cue the prince being very supportive, patient, attentive etc. Edwina’s baffled and misunderstands everything he does (which could be very funny). What are his ulterior motives? Does he see her as a game? Why would a prince want her? Edwina would suppress her feelings to not get hurt even when her family tells her there’s love between them. But she can’t believe them yet.
What I’m saying is slow-burn Prince Friedrich x Edwina, heart-eyes Friedrich, repressed feelings, tension, library dates (library gift scene Beauty and the Beast-style), BOOKS, clueless Edwina, frustrated Friedrich, Edwina learning to love, big romantic declarations, Princess Edwina.
