WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Bridgerton.
Daphne was formally introduced to society at the beginning of Bridgerton which meant she was ready to find a suitor.
She, and the rest of the older Bridgerton siblings, would attend parties and lavish balls with the end goal being to get engaged and then wed as soon as possible.
As she wasn t ready to just go with whoever older brother Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey) picked for her, Daphne had a deal with his friend Simon Bassett, the Duke of Hastings (Rege Jean-Page).
But of course, this was the beginning of an intense romance between Daphne and Simon, resulting in their own marriage.

Shondaland fans can rejoice. Netflix recently announced that it has renewed randy costume confection Bridgerton for a second season. This comes as no surprise as of early January, Bridgerton is one of Netflix s Top 5 most-viewed original shows.
The Regency-era drama was adapted from Julia Quinn s best-selling book series, but with a modern twist – imagining a color-conscious version of history in which a Black Queen Charlotte (Golda Roshuevel) would create more opportunities for people of color. The first season follows debutante Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) as she navigates the marriage mart and her courtship of rakish Duke Simon Bassett (Regé-Jean Page) all narrated by the Gossip Girl -esque Lady Whistledown (Julie Andrews) and her meddling society papers. Since the show s release on Christmas Day, it has regularly graced Netflix s Top 10.
