That despite being from Ireland herself, actress Nicola Coughlan, who plays Penelope in the show, was still required to have an accent coach? In Bridgerton, the character of Penelope hails from Ireland, but despite the fact that Nicola Coughlan, who plays the character, was born and raised on the emerald isle, the actress was still required to have a dialect coach on set with her to perfect her accent for the show for a scene in which Penelope poses as a servant girl. Coughlan hails from the Galway area of Ireland, but at the time when Bridgerton is supposedly set, many of the Irish servants who came to work in stately homes in England originated from the Dublin area of Ireland. Therefore, despite Coughlan having an Irish accent by virtue of her nationality, the subtle difference in the accent was a change the show’s creators were keen to highlight.
