SIMON BASSET – THE DUKE OF HASTINGS
Character Age: 29
Actor’s Current Age: 31
The books reveal that Simon (Rege-Jean Page) was born in 1784 and since the show takes place in 1813, he is 29 when he meets Daphne.
ANTHONY BRIDGERTON

Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) is the eldest Bridgerton child and he grew up with Simon, which means that he is also 29!
BENEDICT BRIDGERTON
Character Age: 27
Actor’s Current Age: 32
The books reveal that Benedict (Luke Thompson) was born in 1786, which means he is 27 during the first season of the show.
COLIN BRIDGERTON
Character Age: 22
Actor’s Current Age: 23
Colin (Luke Newton) was born in 1791, so he is 22 during the first season of the show.
ELOISE BRIDGERTON
Character Age: 17
Actor’s Current Age: 31
Eloise (Claudia Jessie) is the fifth child in the Bridgerton family and she was born in 1796. She is 17 during the events of the first season.
PENELOPE FEATHERINGTON
Character Age: 17
Actor’s Current Age: 34
Penelope (Nicola Coughlan) is the youngest Featherington sister and she was born the same year as her best friend Eloise. She is 17.
MARINA THOMPSON
Character Age: 19
Actor’s Current Age: 24
Marina Thompson (Ruby Barker) is a character that is not part of the book series, though the Bridgerton family has a distant cousin named Marina who is introduced in book five. That Marina was born in 1794, which makes her 19 during the events of season one, which seems about right.
VIOLET BRIDGERTON
Character Age: 47
Actor’s Current Age: 54
The matriarch of the Bridgerton family, Violet (Ruth Gemmell), was born in 1766 and that means she is 47 during season one of the show. It also means that she had her first child at 18.
QUEEN CHARLOTTE
Character Age: 69?
Actor’s Current Age: 49
There actually was 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 season one, which takes place in 1813, she would have been 69-years-old.
Golda Rosheuvel, who plays Queen Charlotte, is considerably younger at 49, so it’s likely that the producers decided to make her character younger for the show.
