In 1811, King George III, often referred to as the "mad king who lost America," was declared unfit to rule, leading his son to assume the role of Prince Regent and ushering in the Regency Era in England. This era was characterized by indulgence in excess, lavish parties, extravagant fashion, and opulent food. While Jane Austen's novels have immortalized this period over the past two centuries, it is now the Netflix hit Bridgerton that has captured the modern imagination.
