Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (Sophia Charlotte; 19 May 1744 - 17 November 1818) was the wife of King George III. She was Queen of Great Britain and Ireland from her wedding in 1761 until the union of the two kingdoms in 1801, after which she was queen consort of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until her death in 1818. She was also the Electress consort of Hanover in the Holy Roman Empire until the promotion of her husband to King of Hanover on 12 October 1814, after which she was also queen consort of Hanover.
Fort Charlotte, in Lucea, Hanover, Jamaica is named after Queen Charlotte
I would love to watch a movie about her
IM WAITING ON BBC TO MAKE A MINISERIES CALLED Charlotte
This work is powerful & should never be forgotten! Thank you for the preservation of our history!
This was one of the best documentaries I have seen on RUclips! I did not know any of this information before.
I visited this place about a month ago. I can not wait to bring my boys!! I have been telling EVERYONE in my family about it. I will definitely be visiting again very soon. 💜
This is great. I have not visit the Nassau County African American Museum in years. I think it is time for a visit. Thank you for this.
So interesting!! I love history, and especially interesting monarchs all throughout history, and this is a great find!! I like how she presented all this. Great!!
Very interesting I would imagine that most of the European royal families have mixed races. The main reason I would think that because of the Moors that had taken over Spain and Portugal. Especially since they often intermarried cousins.
My respect she is beautiful
This presentation was very informative and I enjoyed learning more about the history of Black royals.
I'll need to order the book.
Thanks! I knew nothing about Queen Charlotte before now. I see that I should look closer into her history.
The Dido history I learnt from the very touching film "Belle". Kenwood House, home to Belle or Dido is close to where I live, and also to Highgate Cemetery, where Marx is buried. The film shows the old river Fleet running thru Kentish Town on its way to the Thames. That river now runs underground and can be heard gushing after heavy rain. In that film, Judge William Murray says in his adjudication against slavery "Let justice be done though the heavens may fall". It is interesting whether he really did say that, or its Latin equivalent; a known legal maxim: "Fiat justitia et ruant coeli."
Anyway, a touching film.
Thank you for the information.
One name stuck out to me: King Leopold, who is known for massive genocide in the Belgian Congo. I wonder did he know that his brother-in-law, Edward Duke, was of African descent?
Very well done; and yes, the story reminds one of "Belle" because it seems some people are still sensitive to a true rendition of black history and it's influence on the world. It's no coincidence either that Napoleon had his artillery soldiers shoot the facial features off the statue of the Sphynx in Egypt which is located in Northern Africa. The world turns slowly for some of us. It's God's will. All in due time.
I think Elizabeth looks exactly like her, and the first time I saw those two paintings side by side I didnt know the story but my reaction was :o she stole the crown?! There are many surprises in genetics, anyway, for example my daughter looks very very much like her gr.gr. Grandmother.
Although her mitochondrial says different, Elizabeth is a white woman.
Exactly the information I was seeking. Thanks!
The museum has finally published a book on this topic..The Nassau County African American Museum in Hempstead NY

It only takes one drop! So we are taught to believe!
I'm hearing that king james was black too and not just that alone on a dvd called hidden colors shows black people ruled europe one time called The Moors.
I heard about that too. I'm not sure tho. Lol. We definatly had a heavy presence in Europe so it may be true.
The Moors are the muslim people from North Africa. They invaded Europe after Rome collapse and ignited the Islamic Golden age. They thrived especially in the Iberian Peninsula(now Spain). That is why Spaniards look a little different from other Europeans. They have moorish blood in them and many Spanish names comes from arabic origins like Omar etc.
Absolutely Amazing!!
Thanks to Shonda Rhimes for making the wonderful “Queen Charlotte, a Bridgerton Story.” I’ve known about Queen Charlotte being a woman with African ancestry for many years now. However, I am appreciative of your great presentation 🎉❤
outstanding info.
To think all her children married royalty and had children themselves
Thank you for this wonderful documentary. Well done for discovering all the information. We were taught in north UK about a coloured Queen of England who was the ancestor of Queen Elizabeth2, but many southerners didnt like to accept that fact. Face it fellow Brits, its true. Once again, thank you for bringing this information to the public.
Alfonso appears to be of swarthy/black complexion and the so-called mistress was probably a legitimate black wife!
"from superman to man" by j.a Rogers, great book. He was a supporter (2say the least) of Marcus Garvey
Enjoyed vid
the wife was moorish which was how they refered to any muslim aka berbers aka north african but also because of the time spain was under islamic rule it most highly refered to spaniards and portougise who were forced to convert to islam and possibly married with arabs aka forced to
I wonder how the uneducated of NC. Feel about that?.
Art Trombley
They're "backwards" as hell. They'll deny it
Interesting that all the black dominated states are named after her...hmm. Also, it's "ask" or "asked" not "axe".
why does the story sound a bit like belle just the whole being raised thing
Lil Wayne's daughters name means queen. Interesting!
glow and look rich Ms.LeBreda genics not genocides u kill what yr afraid of.Love yr self Black women.Galar
Nice!
Best history everyone
Princess Charlotte was chosen for George III because they knew he wasn't playing with a full deck.
There's many famous African-American with White features....Maybe we can make a case for them being more European than African......I guess we can except their accomplishments as well. Just trying to be fair......
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING, ABOUT, KING JAMES, THE BLACK KING, WHO SAT ON THREE THRONES IN ENGLAND DURING 1611?
Linda Venable yes he was black.
Very interesting but as a first generation mixed race who looks very white a first glance, i feel that only one african desendant 9 generations before her i feel that she would look fairly european with only subtle african features.
Genetics does not work that way. Any trait can pop up at anytime even generations later.
nizbt Rodriguez Exactly
Yes, look at Justin Timber'fake'. That hair gives it away. He's probably octoroon or something but I can still see it.
You are correct.
Asensio Rodriguez False. You can’t have a “trait” pop up “anytime even generations later” if genetically it is not in you to begin with. Each person only carries DNA from ancestors going back 6-7 generations.
King edward the vi, research on that people will collapse
King George III her husband was black as well.
Charlotte was mixrace.
Truth Hitman mixed people are black. One drop rule.
No. The one drop rule was forced upon American society by the racist element. But clearly it is not a scientific fact. If mxrace or so called mulatto people were black then they would not be called Mixrace. They would be called black.
Truth Hitman so is Barack Obama "non-black"?
Truth Hitman white society labels anyone with 1/32 black ancestry as "black". Tiger woods, Obama, Mariah Carey, Bob Marley are labeled "black".
