The Ultimate Guide: Ages of Bridgerton Siblings Unveiled in Seasons 1 & 2!
The Bridgerton siblings encompass a wide range of ages, each with their unique experiences and journeys From the eldest Anthony at 30 to the youngest Hyacinth at 11, their diverse perspectives add depth and intrigue to the captivating world of Bridgerton
The ages of the Bridgerton children can be a bit difficult to keep track of. In the Regency Era London setting of Bridgerton, there are eight siblings: Anthony, Benedict, Colin, Daphne, Eloise, Francesca, Gregory, and Hyacinth. Season 1 of the show primarily focuses on Daphne Bridgerton as she enters society and engages in a fake courtship that becomes real with Simon. Season 2, on the other hand, shifts the focus to Anthony's quest to find a wife. This season is based on the second book of Julia Quinn's series called The Viscount Who Loved Me. In the first season, set in 1813, Daphne is making her debut, while season 2 takes place in 1814. Considering the societal expectation for young girls to marry early, it's important to factor that in when determining the ages of the Bridgerton siblings. Fortunately, the novels by Julia Quinn provide some guidance in determining their ages throughout the seasons and future seasons to come.
Anthony Bridgerton - 30 Years Old
Anthony Bridgerton, introduced in Bridgerton season 1 as a close companion of Simon Basset and around the same age as the Duke of Hastings, faces mounting pressure as a viscount and the eldest son to find a suitable wife. In Bridgerton season 2, Anthony's age would be 30, further intensifying the expectations placed upon him. The actor portraying Anthony, Jonathan Bailey, is 33, aligning closely with the character's age, as seen with the other Bridgerton siblings.
In the spinoff series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, the narrative is divided into two timelines: one in 1761 and the other in 1817. In the present timeline of the spinoff, Anthony would be 33 years old. If the show continues to adapt each of Julia Quinn's eight books into eight seasons, the final season, based on the book On the Way to the Wedding and set in 1827, would see Anthony at the age of 43. With the anticipated loyalty of Bridgerton's large viewership, this storyline has the potential to fully unfold in season 3.
Benedict Bridgerton - 28 Years Old
Benedict, the second-eldest Bridgerton child, faces less pressure to marry and instead focuses on his artistic pursuits. In the Bridgerton books, Benedict is said to have been born in 1786, making him 27 in the first season and 28 in season 2. Luke Thompson, the actor who portrays Benedict in Bridgerton, was born in 1988 and is currently 33 years old, the same age as the actor playing his older brother.
In the spin-off series, "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story," Benedict is depicted as 31 years old. In Bridgerton season 3, which is based on the third book "An Offer From A Gentleman," Benedict will take center stage, allowing for a deeper exploration of his character and the challenges he faces as a man in his 30s searching for love in the 19th century. By the planned conclusion of the Bridgerton series, Benedict will be 41 years old.
Colin Bridgerton - 23 Years Old
Colin, the third-eldest sibling, was born in 1791. In Bridgerton season 1, Colin was only 22, and then 23 in season 2. During the Regency Era, it was considered young for Colin to be married, which is why his family reacted negatively when he expressed his desire to marry Marina in the first season of Bridgerton.
In real life, Luke Newton, the actor who portrays Colin, was born in 1993, making him 29 years old, a few years older than Colin. In the present timeline of the spinoff Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, which takes place in 1817, Colin would be 26 years old. If the series continues to season 8, set in 1827, Colin would be 36 years old.
Daphne Bridgerton - 22 Years Old
Daphne, the eldest Bridgerton daughter, was born in 1792, making her 21 in Bridgerton season 1 and 22 in season 2. At this age, Daphne was considered to be in her prime to enter London society and find a husband. However, in Bridgerton season 2, the focus shifts away from Daphne's own pursuit of marriage, as she becomes involved in counseling her brother Anthony in his search for a wife.
In real life, actress Phoebe Dynevor, who portrays Daphne, was born in 1995 and is currently 26 years old, only slightly older than her character. In Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, Daphne Bridgerton is depicted as being 25 years old. If the show follows its planned trajectory and concludes in season 8, Daphne will be 35 years old at that point.
Eloise Bridgerton - 18 Years Old
Eloise, the second-eldest Bridgerton daughter, was born in 1796, making her 17 years old in Bridgerton season 1 and 18 in season 2. Despite her young age, Eloise is at the stage where she could potentially make her debut in London society. However, she shows no interest in becoming a debutante in season 1 as her focus is on uncovering the identity of Bridgerton's mysterious gossip columnist, Lady Whistledown. In season 2, Eloise's storyline revolves around her challenges and struggles as she enters society during the new social season.
Claudia Jessie, the actress portraying Eloise, was born in 1989, making her 32 years old. Despite the age difference, Jessie convincingly portrays Eloise as a teenager in Bridgerton. In the spin-off series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, set in 1817, Eloise Bridgerton is 21 years old. By the end of Bridgerton, Eloise will be 31, which is close in age to the eldest Bridgerton sibling, Anthony, at the start of the story.
Francesca Bridgerton - 17 Years Old
In Bridgerton season 1, Francesca, the third Bridgerton daughter, was mostly absent as she stayed in Bath with her Aunt Winnie, focusing on her piano practice. Similarly, in season 2, Francesca had limited screen time due to her actress, Ruby Stokes, being committed to another Netflix series called Lockwood & Co. However, it is expected that a potential sixth season of Bridgerton will heavily feature Francesca, as she is the main character in the sixth book, When He Was Wicked. Unlike her elder sister Eloise, Francesca is portrayed by a younger actress, as Stokes was born in 2000, making her 21 years old in real life. In Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, Francesca is depicted as 20 years old. If the show follows the timeline of the books and ends in 1827, Francesca will be 30 years old by then.
Gregory Bridgerton - 13 Years Old
Gregory, the youngest male among the Bridgerton siblings, has yet to play a significant role in the series. However, viewers have witnessed him engaging in playful interactions with his sister, Hyacinth. In Bridgerton season 1, set in 1801, Gregory is portrayed as a 12-year-old, and in season 2, he is depicted as a 13-year-old.
The actor who portrays Gregory, Will Tilson, was born in 2007, making him 15 years old. In Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, Gregory Bridgerton is slightly older, reaching the age of 16. Looking ahead, the planned conclusion of the Bridgerton series will showcase Gregory at the age of 26, positioning him as a central character in future seasons, given the prime age for his character development.
Hyacinth Bridgerton - 11 Years Old
In future seasons of Bridgerton, viewers can anticipate the continued growth and development of the Bridgerton siblings. Of particular interest will be the journey of the younger Bridgertons as they navigate their debut into London society. With each season dedicated to adapting one book, the series ensures that all the Bridgerton siblings will eventually have their time in the spotlight. As Bridgerton is renewed for a third and fourth season, and with plans for an eight-season series, fans can look forward to seeing the characters evolve and flourish.
