Thanks, nopardons (and miss marmelstein). I didn't think it was true that George III had a black or part black wife. If that was true, I'm sure we would've known about this years ago.
And the screwy report, trying to make Charlotte part "black" is even MORE distant than that of Fauxhantas' "part Cherokee" ancestry; if it is even remotely true. :-)
LOL!
This very NEW (1996) tripe is a HUGE stretch and even the person who wrote up Charlotte's supposed ( read guessed at ) lineage said that he wasn't sure/certain that the maybe/possible/supposed person who MIGHT have been part "black" ( read Berber, a group who is NOT part of the Negroid race at all ! ) may not even have been part "black", or even one of Queen Charlotte's ancestry.
Why some people, here, even remotely believe this claptrap, I don't know. Did they just read a headline somewhere? Have they read the original paper, as I have? I don't know.
And the painting and photos that were posted, to "prove" the "blackness" of Charlotte are laughable in the extreme!
Painters have their own styles and yet, all of the paintings of Charlotte do NOT show her as looking even remotely like she's of ancient Berber ( Arab ) nor Negroid blood.
Re the photos of Queen Victoria and her progeny don't look like they are part anything except Caucasoid. And I've seen many hundreds of photos and paintings of Victoria and her family.
Glad that you liked my little quip about Fauxhantas. :-)
