Who Does Francesca End Up With in Bridgerton Season 3?
In Season 3 of Bridgerton, Francesca Bridgerton is next sibling in the noble family to make her debut. Unlike her older sister Eloise, Francesca (played by Hannah Dodd) is determined to make a match, and quick.
Francesca’s Introduction at Court
With no diamond named, Lady Danbury works her magic to get the Queen to notice Francesca, and when she overhears Francesca playing the piano she instantly deems her “sparkling,” and it’s not long before she introduces her to Lord Samadani.
Francesca’s Suitors
On paper, Lord Samadani seems like the perfect match for Francesca. Along with being handsome and rich, he also has seven siblings. However, while Francesca hopes marriage will afford her some peace and quiet — and an escape from her boisterous family — Lord Samadani has other plans.
Francesca’s Love Triangle
While stepping outside to get some air, Francesca encounters John Stirling, who is also not fond of crowds. The duo enjoy the silence together, and it is not long before the Earl of Kilmartin is courting Francesca — who now must go against the Queen’s wishes if she follows her heart.
The Choices Francesca Must Make
Sadly, Francesca’s love story will continue to unfold in Part 2 of Bridgerton Season 3, which premieres on June 13, meaning we will have to wait to get their answer.
Who Does Francesca End Up With in Her Novel, “When He Was Wicked”?
While the Netflix series has strayed from the novels Bridgerton is based on, Francesca’s love story does play out in Julia Quinn’s sixth novel in the series, When He Was Wicked.
John Stirling vs. Michael Stirling
In the book, Francesca does marry John Stirling. However, their marriage does not last long. Unfortunately, John dies very suddenly, leaving Francesca widowed. She then develops feelings for his cousin, Michael Stirling, “London’s most infamous rake,” who fell in love with Francesca even before John’s death — and she ultimately marries him.
A Tale of Love and Loss
Another reader added, “She’s changed by her life experiences. She loves both men, but I don’t think Francesca could’ve loved Michael that way were it not for the bond created by their love for John and his loss. It’s such an integral part of their story. The three of them cared for each other deeply.”
Conclusion
We can’t wait to see Francesca’s love story unfold! Watch all three seasons of Bridgerton on Netflix now.
