Bridgerton True Story: Was Lady Whistledown A Real Person?
No one does more to uncover the secret Bridgerton true stories than the series’ gossip-maker, Lady Whistledown, but the queen of gossip may have a real true story of her own. Based on the books by Julia Quinn, the upcoming season of the hit Netflix series will be skipping ahead and adapting Quinn’s Romancing Mr. Bridgerton, which is actually the fourth book in Quinn’s series.
