Queen Charlotte, the official podcast, is a production of Shandaland Audio in partnership with IHeart Radio.

Welcome back to Queen Charlotte, the official podcast, your companion behind the scenes of Shonda Land's Bridgeton prequel on Netflix.

I'm your host, Gabby Collins, and today we're spending time with actors Michelle Fairley and Corey Milchrist.

In today's episode, we're simply carving out some time to talk about the way these performers carried young King George and Princess Augusta in their bones and how they felt when it was all done.

We're excited to dive into Corey Milchrist and King George. We are inspired by what drives him, and we're going to

learn more about what he brings, you know, such authenticity to his performance. We're really

stoked to talk to this cool gent, not only because of his amazing acting chops, but also because of the complex character that he brought to life on screen.

Young King George is troubled yet sweet, and he has captured the hearts of many Queen Charlotte bands,

and we can't wait to hear from Corey about how he approaches the role,

and what it's been like to bring

such a fascinating portrayal of a tortured king to life. Corey Milgris, how are you doing today?

I'm okay. I'm feeling snazy. I'm feeling snazy too. Yeah, how are you? I'm feeling snazy too.

Yeah. Let's feel snazzy together.

So, Corey, of course we're here because of your remarkable performance in Queen Charlotte, a Bridgeton story.

If you could put it into one word, how did it make you feel, I guess?

The word that I would use, especially with the scene right at the end of episode 6, which is the last scene, nostalgic. But I mean, that's just boring, really. So I would say otherworldly. It's so hard to see the story as it is without, God, it's so weird to watch my face. Right, right. Otherworldly and nostalgic because your body keeps the score.

I look at myself and I go, oh, yeah, I remember filming that. And then suddenly I'm going, oh, my, that's what I felt on that day. So it's very hard to be objective about it. And then sometimes I go, oh, my God, that was such a lovely day because we had such a great laugh about that or, you know, whatever. And we had a great conversation. It's so strange.

I think otherworldly is a really interesting and... about that or, you know, whatever, and we had a great conversation. It's so strange.

I think otherworldly is a really interesting and good word, though.

What was your word? Or do you have one?

Oh, man. I think actually it's just, yes, there was so much that I saw that I needed to see.
