Why did they put a sex scene in Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story (Netflix)?

There she is, Lady Danbury, enduring joyless duty-sex with her aging husband. There I am, thinking if they didn’t put this in here, I could have watched this with my 10-year-old daughter. And she’d have enjoyed the pageantry. To be honest, there was nothing graphic in the sex scene and it would have shown my daughter the folly of marrying a man with metal false teeth just for a spot of social climbing.
