What has Corey Mylchreest said about Queen Charlotte?
Speaking about his character King George, Mylchreest said (via Esquire Philippines): “I think he is criminally misunderstood and misrepresented [in the history books]. He was so much more than a madman [which is how he was often viewed and spoken about] and tried his whole life to do right by himself, by his family, by his people.
“He really wanted to do the best for everyone involved, and he wasn’t the most intelligent person but he was really dedicated to trying. I have such a deep love for him.”
