Dear gentle reader,
If Mrs. Whistledown’s identity has come as a surprise to you during this BridgertonAt the end of Season 1, I was probably already alone. After all, Whistledown’s own actress Nicola Coughlan– also known as Penelope Featherington – knew her secret identity before she even set foot on set.
But if you think you’ve learned it from reading the original book series, think again.
“I found it out in a very professional way,” she said. Seth Meyers During a May 14 appearance on late time at night. “I found out about it on a Reddit fan forum. Because I Googled it. And then I arrived on the first day and said, ‘This is amazing, am I her?’ Is that me?’ And they would say, ‘Yes, that’s you.’”
She continued: “And then I proceeded to tell everyone, so it was a surprise to no one on staff because I couldn’t stop talking about him.”
Ironically, Seth was sure to point it out. “It turns out you’re a good person at keeping a secret,” he joked, and Nicola, 37, agreed, saying: “That’s complete nonsense, yeah.”
