  • "Mario de Valdes y Cocom, claimed description of Charlotte by her physician, Baron Stockmar describes her as having "a true mulatto face".

    Critics argue that any possible link to an African ancestor, black or otherwise, would have been at least 9 to 15 generations removed, therefore no more significant in Charlotte than in any other member of any German royal house at that time. - Wikipedia

  • Her being part African isn't a matter of conjecture, it's a matter of fact. Not only was she part black, but her entire family branch was black. She was thin and lovely, probably why she was chosen as queen to George III.

    It's astonishing the lengths that people will go to disprove the proof of history.

    Contrary to popular belief the monarchs of Europe were aware of the AFrican Monarchs and visa versa. It was not uncommon to have an African "at court" if you know what i mean.

  • Even this day some Royal guys are married to black women and have mixed kids , so more black ancestry in the European Royal family.Most European men have a thing for black women even those days.America is not like the rest of the world.

  • History is only ever "believed" correct. History is generally very one sided and that one side is usually told by the winner. I cant remember who said it but "never let the truth stand in the way of a good story".

  • Ahh--that's why Princess Anne looks so good in those riding britches.

  • @WonderWomanFan4life oh you're asking me to pull research from 2 years ago LOL I spent a week researching something else and this was tangental to that. She wasn't the only Black monarch of England. There were several, some much more "clearly" Black. In fact the Moores were all over Europe. It was the Moores [blacks] that delivered Europe from the dark ages and the black plague. It is American white supremacy that tries to erase such history. Blacks were not hated universally, like here.

  • @DEFACTO9

    everyone says check your history the reason we have to check it is because most of Black history has been erased and hard to find. if you say this and you know something you should basically post the book info or state where you have proof. thats not very fair. Every culture has history but most black history has been erased, damaged, and destroyed, or covered up.

  • @shakaama

    where is the proof to back this up because it seems that everyone tries to debunk her culture of blackness. I would definitely like to know the truth. but i am having hard time finding information

  • It's obvious Queen Charlotte was a Mulatto just looking at her portraits I don't understand why some would deny this fact. Light skin, Hazel eyes and Light Brown curly hair she looks like quite a light skinned Afro-Americans here in the U.S I imagine it's the same for Afro-Anglos living in London or Manchester,England who are of mixed origin.

  • @fireskys1 - She wasnt just from a black lineage, she was a Hebrew!

  • I find it quite interesting that in many different reports about the life and ethnicity of Charlotte Sophia, she is referred to as a "consort". She was the wife and Queen of King George, and yes she was mulatto. It came out of Queen Elizabeth's own mouth. I am quite sure she has researched her own lineage.

  • we need 2 all come 2 the realisation that the english royal family as direct links 2 the mother land and these actual facts remain to be obstructed from the view of everybody who learns about english HIS-STORY. this is a white wash of actaul events rather than a realistic depiction of what really happend in the past. i have 2 take my hat off 2 all the historians who have tried there hardest 2 keep these truths hidden u really got us there!

  • so if we have already established her racial persuassion was of african orientation why are these vital facts masked and even worse not included in the national curriculam within are childrens schools? this is a blatent white washing of actual historical events. how interesting is it 2 know that whilst blacks where slaves 1 of our very own sat in prominence on the throne of england.GOD is sufficient as judge but one cant help but to have conjecture and contempt with this version of HIS -STORY
