Bridgerton star Florence Hunt has revealed she wore a “cut off” from one of Princess Diana’s dress in the upcoming third series.
The British actress, best known for her role of Hyacinth Bridgerton in the Netflix show, has lifted the lid on the impressive wardrobe department in the period drama. In a recent interview with People magazine, the 17-year-old revealed there is a connection between one of the dresses she wears in the new series and the late royal.
She told the publication: “I wore this beautiful blue dress, and I believe it was a cut off from Princess Diana’s dress that she wore at some point. A cut off from one of her dresses that they made for Princess Diana and they made a dress out of that fabric, which was mental.”

Florence continued: “I just thought it was amazing. I felt like I was wearing a piece of history. It was crazy, yeah.” It comes after leading man Luke Newton – who plays Colin Bridgerton in the show – admitted he wasn’t quite ready to strip off on set.
Sharing his thoughts on the upcoming series, he admitted to feeling a little pressure from fans anticipating Colin and Penelope’s friends to lovers romance. Their love story takes place in the fourth Bridgerton book, Romancing Mister Bridgerton.
He told People magazine : “I think there’s always been that underlying sort of question mark with these two characters. And people have obviously wanted them to get to the point that we’re getting to now, so I guess it was always in the back of our minds.

“You kind of play that in previous seasons and in previous scenes, but you can’t really prepare for stripping down naked in front of your friends.” The 31-year-old actor and his on-screen love Nicola Coughlan, who portrays Penelope Featherington, previously teased that things got heated during the sizzling scenes between her and Newton.
She admitted that the pair broke a piece of furniture while filming a sex scene, and found the filming process “really funny”. In an interview with SiriusX Hits 1, she chuckled: “We would be like, in between scenes, and they were like, ‘Do you wanna get up and put your clothes on?’
“We’re like, ‘We’ll just chill here’, like under the blankets. But then we have the advantage of knowing each other for years.”

The 37-year-old actress told People magazine: “The intimacy stuff feels very real. IT feels very grounded in two people that are not trying to sort of, that they’re awkward in front of one another, this and that.
“And all of a sudden they become like Lotharios in the bedroom and whatever, they get to be intimate together in a very real and beautiful way, and I think that’s what makes it so affecting.”
The third series of Bridgerton drops on Netflix on Thursday (May 16).
