[1/2] Potential spoiler warning for season 1 and 2 of Bridgerton. While I haven't finished watching season 2, I can still type her using season 1 as a basis. The Queen does not fit the basic trait structure of e8, and her passion is not lust, it is rather complied in her image. In season one, she hired Eloise to demask Lady Whistledown, just because the Queen felt threatened by Lady Whistledown and having her reputation tarnished. I'll use Naranjo's Character and Neurosis, Subtype descriptions , enneagram and social 3 descriptions by Beatrice Chestnut to make my argument. "Vanity is a passionate concern for one’s image, or a passion of living for the eyes of others. Living for appearances implies that the focus of concern is not in one’s own experience, but in the anticipation or fantasy of the experience of another, and thus the insubstantiality of the vain pursuit. Nothing could be more appropriately called “vanity of vanities,” of which the preacher in Ecclesiastes speaks, than living for an ephemeral and insubstantial image (rather than out of oneself)." The Queen is shown to be very careful of her image and tries everything to protect it, and not have it tarnished by gossip. She wants to present herself as best as she can to the citizens of London, especially in the debutantes circle. "Vanity is present especially in the “hysteroid” region of the enneagram (comprising ennea-types II, III, and IV), yet in the case of pride, as we have seen, it is satisfied through a combination of imaginative self-inflation and the support of selected individuals, while in ennea-type III, instead, the person mobilizes herself to “prove” objectively her value through an active implementation of the self-image in the face of a generalized other. This leads to an energetic pursuit of achievement and good form as defined by quantitative or generally accepted standards." In season 2 (my most sincere apologies if I butcher any information) she is shown to invite Edwina and Kate to her gardens, to talk over marriage plans with the Sharma sisters. This is supported in this quote from Naranjo's book. "Yet in the case of pride, as we have seen, it is satisfied through a combination of imaginative self-inflation and the support of selected individuals, while in ennea-type III, instead, the person mobilizes herself to “prove” objectively her value through an active implementation of the self-image in the face of a generalized other." Queen Charlotte is seen interacting with a select few (Daphne, Eloise, Edwina and Lady Danbury), and interacting with them in such ways to clear her reputation, as well as offering them gifts to "buy" their relationship. (Daphne's marriage with the prince, offering to host Edwina's wedding, gifting her peacock feathers etc.) "Not only a passion for the modulation of appearance is involved in the psychology of ennea-type III. A skill to the effect of achieving the aims of vanity typically supports it in the individual’s psyche. Thus, beautiful women are more likely to embrace the strategy of brilliance (and the corresponding existential mistake of confusing their attractiveness with their true self). In addition to characteristics reflecting a generalized desire to please and attract, such as refinement, considerateness, or generosity, some traits stand out because of their prominence which I discuss below: achievement drive, social skill, and concern with personal appearance." (Related to my point made above) Beatrice Chestnut also provides some insight, perhaps valuable to analysing the Queen's personality. "For a Three, thinking centers on “doing”—on accomplishing tasks and goals. Though a heart type, Threes (unconsciously) avoid their feelings because getting caught up in emotion prevents them from getting things done. When they slow down enough for emotions to surface, they may feel a sense of sadness or anxiety related to being recognized for what they do and not for who they are. Threes tend to express impatient anger if someone or something gets between them and their goal." The Queen doesn't show her personal emotions to anyone, she does love the king, but she only shows affection and care towards him only when they're alone. (Scene from season 1 when the king accuses Charlotte of doing something to their deceased daughter, Amelia). In my reply I'll present some arguments to why I believe Queen Charlotte to be 3w2 so/sx.
