After Queen Charlotte, Corey landed a role in an upcoming thriller series called The Stolen Girl. So he’s trading his royal robes for a modern-day creepy vibe. We’re excited to see him play something other than a monarch with a tragic brain hiccup.
He’s also extremely private. You won’t catch him posting thirst traps on Instagram or starting drama on Twitter. He seems like the kind of guy who drinks tea, reads a book, and then goes for a walk in the rain. Very King George of him.
Oh, and he’s still friends with India. They post cute behind-the-scenes photos and call each other by their character names. That’s the sign of a real actor friendship—they never break character, even when ordering pizza.
Who is King George in 'Queen Charlotte'? Meet Corey Mylchreest
Why We Love Corey Mylchreest
Because he made us fall in love with a fictional version of a historically troubled king—and he did it with zero ego. He didn’t try to be cool. He showed us the messy, raw, human side of royalty.
He also taught us that you can be a little broken and still be worthy of love. And that sometimes, the best way to deal with insanity is to just dance in the garden with your wife.
So, the next time someone asks, “Who plays King George in Queen Charlotte?” you can say, “Corey Mylchreest, you uncultured swine!” and then apologize because you’re not a jerk. But you’ll know. And you’ll feel smug about it.
In the end, Corey gave us a character who is equal parts heartbreak and hope. He reminded us that even kings have bad days—and that’s okay. And if you ever feel like you’re losing your mind, just remember: King George ran around a palace screaming about stars, and he still got the girl. You’ll be fine.
So go ahead, rewatch the show. Let yourself cry during the final episode. And every time you see that curly-haired mess of a monarch on screen, whisper a little thank you to Corey Mylchreest for making history feel so dang alive.
Long live the king—especially the one with the emotional support wig and the heart full of starlight.
