Today, Charlotte is remembered as a faithful wife and a tragic figure connected with the king’s mental illness. Historians still debate whether she was really Britain’s first Black queen. At least 492 lines of descent can be traced from Queen Charlotte through her triple ancestry from Margarita de Castro y Sousa to Martin Alfonso de Sousa Chichorro, the illegitimate son of King Alfonso of Portugal and his Moorish mistress, Oruana/Madragana. Interestingly enough, in a gene pool that was comparatively miniscule due to royal inbreeding, it was from Martin Alfonso's de Sousa wife, Ines de Valladares, that the British queen inherited most of her African Islamic ancestry. Those who believe she was black point to portraits that show what they describe as African features and say other depictions of the time that show the queen as light-skinned would have been hiding her ancestry to conform with the era’s Eurocentric beauty ideals. But others say the queen’s ancestry was so distant it likely did not affect her looks. Since it’s impossible to determine how Charlotte really looked in real life, the argument will likely never be settled.
If if history was whitewashed, it doesn’t take a genius to realize which truly happened. Something miraculous can still be explained away and be true at the same time!
I'm related to the Royal Family through king George iv and one of his mistresses, i have part African features yet pale skin with dark freckles and auburn hair, when I artificially darken my skin I look correct, otherwise I don't fit in anywhere! @@Taniellaful
Madragana Bat Aloandro, her supposed "black" ancestor, 15 times removed, was a Sephardic Jewess of NORTH African ancestry. As the illegitimate issue of mistresses are not in the line of succession, it is of no real importance. There has never been a "black branch of the Portuguese Royal Family" and Margarida de Castro e Souza (correct spelling) was barren, so how could she possibly be anyone's ancestor? George III and Queen Charlotte are my ancestors. According to my DNA test, I have 0% African, Moor, Mozarab, or Portuguese ancestry. I already knew this, of course.
In history many portraits were whitewashed. She was indeed black, there are many black kings and grades, white supremacist will try to hide it and erase it. I see where your mind is though, she was definitely up African descent. King Charles was the product of inbreeding his parents first cousin
Moor translated to Negro, moor an Ethiopian being used interchangeably to describe those during that time. MOOR modern day Sudan, she was indeed of African descent. White fragility will always win. You know history was painted white, our Bible is painted white when there are numerous accounts of Ethiopia in the Bible. Zipporah Moses wife was Ethiopian, Cushite! Since the beginning of time you’ve tried to whitewash everything, the truth will come to light as God said

She was indeed biracial, king James was a product of inbreeding, they did an experiment by having him marry a biracial woman so that he would have plenty children. She was indeed Afric decent. But it’s not shocking that people like you always try to explain something miraculous. Even in all of her photos her phenotype are that of a black woman even her hair. The show they even made her a black woman

Good job on this narration and from her portraits, She does not look to be of African descent, despite what many want to believe:/
Would be amazing if she had been, but it's more a case of there may have been a Moor ancestor in her bloodline some 16 generations previously.

You know nothing about what someone of her heritage looks like.
See Megass and her flying monkeys- SHD is not at all part a dark person
