Marina Thompson (Ruby Barker) is a character who is not part of the book series, although the Bridgerton family has a distant cousin named Marina who is featured in book five. That Marina was born in 1794, making her 19 during the events of the first season, which seems right.
VIOLET BRIDGERTON
Grade age: 47

The matriarch of the Bridgerton family, Violet (Ruth Gemmell), was born in 1766 and this means she is 47 during the first season of the program. It also means she had her first child at 18.
QUEEN CHARLOTTE
Character Age: 69?
Current age of actor: 49
There was actually a Queen Charlotte, who was married to King George III. She was married to him from 1761 until her death in 1818. During the events of the first season, which took place in 1813, she would have been 69 years old.
Golda Rosheuvel, who plays Queen Charlotte, is at 49 significantly younger. It is likely that the producers decided to make her character younger for the program.
