Although speaking of gossip, Whistledown managed to make its own voice and to be listened to from all over London. For this reason, Eloise sees in Lady Whistledown a sort of role model to aspire to.
In the final moments of the first season, Lady Whistledown finds herself safely inside the carriage that took her away from the attempted capture. The author lowers her hood which covers her face and reveals her identity to the viewer.
It is about… Penelope Featherington. The revelation faithfully corresponds to that of the novels, where little Featherington will be discovered the gossip writer. Many elements indicated this outcome, starting from Marina Thompson’s secret that Lady Whistledown feeds to her readers: Penelope and few other people were aware of it, and it will be the publication that sparks the idyll between her and Colin.
Shy Featherington turns out to be the wittiest character in the series. Hat!
