This culminates in the season finale when Charlotte brings up the "palace walls" again at the royal ball. King George (Corey Mylchereest) and Lady Danbury's own imprisonments via circumstance are also portrayed, such as George freeing the Pomeranian while he is trapped by Doctor Monro in episode four, and in episode five, when Lady Danbury is trapped wearing black clothing after her husband's death. This theme is revisited in episode three when Lady Danbury chastises the queen by saying her "palace walls are too high," implying that she is too ignorant to understand her own power. In episode one, young Charlotte is literally caged in numerous ways - the tight whalebone corset restricting her movements, the wall that stops her from escaping the palace, and even being forced, initially, to wear traditional British clothing to the wedding. Thus, throughout the season, there are themes of these characters being caged or choosing to be imprisoned. The main arc of "Queen Charlotte" follows young Charlotte and young Lady Danbury (Arsema Thomas) realizing their power and taking hold of their own destinies.
