12:20 pm

MollyL

Regency romances?

12:21 pm

hurshy

aka Jane Austen's era

12:21 pm

hurshy

when there was a Regent because the heir to the British throne was a child

12:21 pm

hurshy

hence they call it the Regency era

12:22 pm

hurshy

i have a dress from that era :D

12:22 pm

Shirlockc

in this case it was Queen Victoria who didn't die and Albert was the regent

12:22 pm

hurshy

i mean it wasn't made then, it was made now, but in that style.

12:23 pm

Shirlockc

and yes Austen is Regency period

12:24 pm

hurshy

i don't think it can have been Victoria... she wasn't til after Jane Austen died

12:24 pm

Shirlockc

ooops switched my monarchs

12:24 pm

cybernan

Prince Albert was never the regent -- he was the consort

12:25 pm

Shirlockc

mad king george

12:25 pm

hurshy

ohhh and this regency wasn't cause of childhood yeah it was age and incapacity

12:25 pm

hurshy

acute intermittent porphyria

12:25 pm

cybernan

the last regency was for George III who was declared incompetent

12:26 pm

hurshy

yeah

12:26 pm

Shirlockc

The Queen Charlotte series on Netflix, that king george

12:26 pm

12:43 pm

hurshy

12:43 pm
