Bridgerton Season 3 recently concluded, and it gave us many overwhelming surprises or, shall we say, shocks. Several main characters dealt with betrayal, emotional breakdowns and other problems, making the latest season of the franchise the most exciting. But the most overwhelming scene in the latest installment involved Benedict Bridgerton and made us question his sexuality. Here's how we examine whether the central character of the royal family is homosexual.

In Bridgerton Season 1, several occasions led us to believe that Benedict Bridgerton is queer. For example, when the Bridgerton prince witnessed two men getting sexually involved at a party, he couldn't stop envying them. So that one incident gave birth to several fan theories that he really is gay.

However, in Season 3, Benedict is seen involved with a woman named Lady Tilley Arnold. Later, Tilley introduces him to Paul, her occasional intimate partner. That same day, Benedict catches the duo kissing, and when Tilley and Paul ask him to join them, he declines the offer and leaves.

Afterwards, Benedict meets Tilley, and when she asks him if he's interested in men, Benedict says that he knows men like Paul, but he hasn't been tempted by them. So it is clearly stated that Benedict is not gay. But later we see him go to Paul and Tilley to join them in intimacy. It was then that the audience became skeptical of his sexuality. Well, in the books nothing has been clarified about Benedict's sexuality. Therefore, it would be safe to say that he is a person who likes to explore. Now that Penelope and Colin's story has ended in the TV show, we can expect the fourth season to keep Eloise or Benedict in the lead role. If it's Benedict, maybe we'll learn more about him and his sexuality.
