Things turn quite dramatic in the plot with Bridgerton Season 3, as Lady Danbury's estranged brother, Lord Anderson, arrives in London. The tension and dynamics between Lady Danbury's character, Adjoa Andoh, and her brother Marcus, Daniel Francis, are fraught with tension and unresolved issues.
From the very first time Marcus appears, it is obvious that the brother-sister duo had a troubled bond, although soon enough it is told that there is some big underlying issue between the siblings. It is revealed that Marcus snitched on Lady Danbury and told their father about her attempt to flee from her wedding.

She appears to nurse a personal grudge against him from a hurtful incident from their childhood. It is revealed that Marcus snitched on Lady Danbury and told their father about her attempt to flee from her wedding, causing a rift in their relationship.
As much as the two have in common, it is impossible to go to bed without feeling the bad taste of this incident, and it laces their exchange with a sour tone.
Who Is Lady Danbury's brother in Bridgerton?
Lord Anderson, or Marcus to his sister, is a character introduced in episode three of Bridgerton Season 3. Marcus is a widower who is back in London after his children have flown the nest. Feeling weary in his country house, he comes to the city to attend a ball and introduces himself to Violet Bridgerton, appearing rather taken with her.
However, Lady Danbury promptly interrupts to clarify that she is far from excited by her brother's sudden reappearance, revealing the underlying tension in their relationship.
Marcus goes on to explain that his marriage was not a love match, although they had grown to like each other a great deal. Although as he enters the "second act" of his life, Marcus wishes for a good love match, his wish to woo Violet Bridgerton, but Lady Danbury is not keen on the idea.
Why do Lady Danbury and Lord Anderson not get along?
Even as the season progresses, the tension between Lady Danbury and Lord Anderson is drawn out. In the estrangement of these two, it is brought out that it must have happened many years back. In the sixth episode, Lady Danbury eventually confronts her brother, accusing him of having taken everything away from her.
This alludes to a very specific event in their past that has caused a deep rift between the two. However, their source of conflict is finally revealed when Lady Danbury says that Marcus was the one who told their father that she had attempted to escape the night before her wedding day to Lord Danbury.
This treachery shattered her dream of not being imprisoned in a marriage she did not want, and so life started based on her father's and husband's will, and not her own. Well, Marcus was ten at that time, so he must have thought he was shielding his sister from the perils of the outside world, though his actions were quite to the contrary and tied her into this miserable union.
How did Lady Danbury and her brother reconcile in Bridgerton?
With all the tension between them finally culminating, he gets a breakthrough with his actions and tries to redeem himself before his sister. He apologizes to Lady Danbury in episode seven, saying that he had no idea as a child what would happen when he took those actions.
He explains how he viewed his older sister with admiration but also with fear, and that might be why he never confronted her all these years. In response, Lady Danbury admits that she was afraid of Marcus reducing into ruins what little happiness she had been able to carve out of her twilight years.
It was a touching moment and it paved the way for the siblings to finally confront the hurt that they had been carrying all along, for all these years. They have a conversation that concludes on an optimistic note of reconciliation. Both siblings finally apologize for the misunderstanding and anguish on one another's part that the relationship had been based on.
In addition to the relationships and courtship problems in Bridgerton, there is the strained relationship between Lady Danbury and her brother, Lord Anderson, which was quite interesting to see as it brings forth the complex realities of family life. Their journey to reconciliation in Bridgerton, though difficult, eventually gave closure and healing to the two characters.
