So, who is the narrator reading out Lady Whistledown’s sensational observations?

Here’s everything you need to know about the absolute icon behind the voice….

Who is the voice of Lady Whistledown on Bridgerton?

Lady Whistledown on Bridgerton is narrated by the legendary Julie Andrews – if you’re a diehard fan of the likes of Princess Diaries, The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins you naturally would have instantly realised it was her voice.

Showrunner Chris Van Dusen was as excited as anyone would be to have Julie Andrews involved, saying her part was “one of the most fun things to write.”

He said: “She was always at the top of our wish list. But it wasn’t even a thing where we thought it would actually happen. We sent her the scripts and she surprisingly said yes, she loved them and she wanted to be a part of it.”

He went on to call her “a total pro" – we expected nothing less.
