Francesca’s Marriage Teased in Bridgerton Season 3 Sneak Peeks

Exciting glimpses from Bridgerton Season 3 unveil Francesca Bridgerton in captivating tweed attire, hinting at a possible storyline for her upcoming book Get ready for intrigue and romance in the highly-anticipated new season!

The friends-to-lovers romance between Colin and Penelope isn't the only storyline drawing attention in Bridgerton Season 3, as a significant detail from the released images hints at Francesca Bridgerton's upcoming marriage. Despite the focus on Penelope and Colin's romance, fans have taken note of a crucial detail regarding Francesca, as the Netflix series is known for dropping hints about the other Bridgerton siblings' future storylines. Since season one, the show has given glimpses of Benedict's solo storyline while also keeping Penelope and Colin in the background.

Francesca Bridgerton is the third daughter and sixth child in the family. While her older siblings have had their own love stories, she has been seen in the background with her younger siblings. Shonda Rhimes previously stated that every Bridgerton child would have their turn in the spotlight, and it appears that Francesca's marriage story will take center stage in Bridgerton Season 3. Note: Potential spoilers ahead for those who have read the books!

Francesca Bridgerton is wearing tweed in Season 3

According to fans and Cat Quinn on Instagram, Francesca’s outfit including a tweed jacket is a possible hint that she is likely already married in Bridgerton Season 3.

Francesca appears older in the new season, a far cry from the young girl fans remember. However, the standout feature in the newly released photo is her tweed jacket, a nod to her first husband John Stirling's Scottish roots. Observant fans may also notice her suspiciously hiding her left ring finger, hinting at a potential wedding ring.

Francesca's story unfolds in "When He Was Wicked," where she was originally married to John Stirling from Scotland, after knowing him for only two months. Tragically, John passed away when Francesca was just 23, leaving her a widow. She also discovered that she was pregnant after his death, but suffered a miscarriage.

Coincidentally, Michael Stirling had confessed his love for Francesca shortly before her marriage to John. However, instead of pursuing her, Michael chose to leave for India, leaving Francesca to mourn and assume the title of Dowager Countess. Years later, Francesca returns home for a celebration, and finds herself courted by potential suitors just as Michael returns.

The return to Scotland creates a whirlwind love story. One question on fans' minds is whether Bridgerton Season 3 will introduce Francesca during her first marriage to John. A fan on Twitter/X commented on another photo showing Hyacinth holding a headband similar to what is worn during a debut. Based on the leaked pictures, it seems likely that the first image is from Francesca's debut, and by episode four she's already wearing the Scottish coat because she is married. It looks like immediate success for the Bridgerton family in the marriage mart.
