The trailer opens with with young Charlotte (India Ria Amarteifio) asking her older brother why she's been selected to marry into royalty. "Charlotte, there are worse fates than marrying the King of England," he said to her.

But as the young queen is swept into a fancy new life, her duties as member of the royal family become very clear from the get-go.

In the trailer, she is told by her mother-in-law: "as many babies as possible for my son" - a woman who has a vision to 'unite' all of society.

Queen Charlotte also attempted to escape her luxury life, but that is when she met King George himself, played by Corey Mulchreest.

As Charlotte is mid-escaping, George is heard saying: "Hello my lady - are you in need of assistance of some kind?"

Charlotte is definitely not set on marriage though, but George is adamant to win her over.

As clips of them dating show on screen, he says: "I realise you have no reason to like me, but if you will give me one evening of your time, it might make you hate me a little bit less."
