— Netflix / 'Bridgerton' Lord Debling had eyes for Prudence Featherington all along. In new photos published by E! News, Bridgerton co-stars Sam Phillips (Debling) and Bessie Carter (Prudence) appeared to confirm their long rumored, real-life romance with some PDA. In the photos, the pair are seen strolling together through Sussex, England, wearing more casual attire than Bridgerton fans are used to.
