It seems that Kim didn’t know that sisters Penelope, Philippa and Prudence Featherington, and their parents, Archibald and Portia, are the inspirations behind the characters.
Omg yesss of course we would love to have you! Also did you know that Mr Pearl made your corset for the Met Gala and the very next one he made was mine for Bridgerton? You’ve been part of the Bridgerton world for longer than you know!❤️❤️❤️

Nicola confirmed it again to the star and entrepreneur and mentioned that she thinks Penelope is mostly inspired by Kim herself.
The three of us genuinely debate this all the time, I think Prudence and Phillipa are very Kourtney and Khloe cos they’re besties, and Pen is a very successful business woman, also I remember Kim being like a very good detective too so there’s that…
