After explaining that he wasn’t the one engaged to Lydia Montrose, Charlotte realised that she and Alexander were finally free to be together, and they shared a tender kiss. Speaking about the epic scene, actor Ben Lloyd-Hughes told HELLO!: “It was incredibly windy and there was a lot of talk about whether we’d have to re-do the scenes. But Rose [Williams] and I loved how windy it was.
He added: “There was so much being released in those moments and hopefully it comes across, the poignancy of how much these people meant to each other.”
In one of the series’ most heartwarming moments, fans were then treated to a glimpse of their beautiful wedding.

What happened to Georgiana Lambe?
Georgiana Lambe was finally given a happy ending with her former flame, Otis. After discovering that Agnes Harmon was, in fact, her mother, but that she’d been offered money to stay away by Lady Montrose – aka her future mother-in-law – Georgiana ended her engagement with Harry Montrose. Neither one of them had been invested in their relationship, and they each agreed that marriage could not bring them happiness.

Agnes then encourages Georgiana to go after Otis in London, who had been her one true love from the start. By the end of the episode, Georgiana and Otis had married, with Agnes as the sole witness at their ceremony. Of course, they were also among the guests at Charlotte and Alexander’s wedding, where Georgiana couldn’t have been happier for her best friend.
