Barbara asked this question about The Duke and I (Bridgertons, #1):

The Netflix show was reimagined by the brilliant Shonda Rhimes and featured a diverse cast (as did Hamilton). They address it for a brief moment in the show and that’s it. You probably have a book with the Netflix cover. It’s irrelevant to this story.(less)
