Adjoa Andoh has opened up about why Lady Danbury’s desire to explore life beyond London feels long overdue in Bridgerton season 4.
In a new chat with PEOPLE Magazine, the 63-year-old reflected on Agatha’s growing urge to look beyond the world she’s built for decades, as well as the deeper questions about identity that resurface for her character.
“We meet a woman who we know is very established in this world, but like Charlotte, they’ve come from other worlds,” Andoh said, referencing Agatha’s backstory revealed in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.
“Even though Danbury came [to London] at 4, well, who was I before 4? What does it look like where I came [from]? I mean, what does she remember of that place?”
“I think we get to moments in our life… where you suddenly want to reflect a bit and think about stuff you maybe haven’t had time to think about — about who you are in the world,” she continued.
Andoh described London as “Danbury’s world,” adding, “I don’t think she wants to throw away this world, but she needs to set her heart at rest by scratching the itch.”
With Queen Charlotte refusing Agatha’s wish, she also reflected on the tension brewing between the longtime friends.
The “juicy conflict,” as Andoh called it, was “interesting and exciting to play” with Golda Rosheuvel.
“I think lots of us have long friendships, and those friendships do get tested… what are the compromises that you may have to make in order to sustain it?” she concluded.
