7 Major Differences Between the "Queen Charlotte" Novel and TV Show

Brimsley is a significant but still supporting character in the TV version, but in the book, he's a full-fledged point-of-view character. We learn much more about him, including that his first name is Bartholomew, that he's an only child, and how his loyalty to Charlotte grows over time. He is also present for more scenes and has his thoughts narrated in his point-of-view chapters. He's even around for some extended versions of the scenes we've already seen on screen, including a hilariously awkward "extended cut" of the scene where Agatha Danbury makes a few "instructional" sketches for the newlywed queen.
