On May 16, the first part of season 3 of “Bridgerton” premiered on Netflix. Further episodes will hit the platform next month, on June 13. This time, the creators of the series paid more attention to the supporting characters. Among them was Prudence Featherington, the eldest daughter of Archibald and Portia Featherington and the wife of Robert Huxley, who before her marriage was not an object of desire among admirers. The role of the clumsy and not very intelligent heroine is played from the very beginning by British actress Bessie Carter. Although few people know it, the 30-year-old is the daughter of a famous acting couple.
