YES FACTS

[@homerNangel]

15 pregnancies by any standard is remarkable especially in those days when Med -tech was still so underdeveloped...She was an amazing woman. Lost two children in early childhood must have been hard on her.

[@annmitchell4663]

homerNangel It was common in those days..no contraception to speak of.Thats why many women died in chilbirth.

[@yvonnegrant1144]

She was a very strong woman ,had so many children and still lived to the age of 74 . Amazing history .

[@paulbeck6841]

Since THE cause of death for women until the 1950s was giving birth to her 6th baby, putting out 15 and living was indeed a big deal. Side history: it wasn't until the results of the experiments conducted by the Nazis and Imperial Japanese were taught in Western Medical Schools for a decade or so that pregnancy stopped being a coin toss on living or dying. You have presented your husband with 5 daughters and now the 6th baby is bigger and stuck. A statement is made to your husband, "I can't save both of them". What that meant was, does the person delivering the baby put a piece of firewood in the birth canal, against the baby's head and give it a whack with a hammer to crush the baby's skull so it can come out, OR a board is placed on the mother's pelvis and is hit with a sledgehammer, shattering your pelvis! The baby will fall right out but you are going to bleed to death internally in absolute agony over the next 2 or 3 days! If this is the 6th baby and it is likely male (bigger), momma, you are gonna die.

Wow who knew that there was a royal of so much importance. Why? We did not know this until now.

[@lalou648]

Rosa Williams Unfortunately, this is like much of 📜history = his story..Which is, what has wanted to be displayed or shown. If only we could rehash the ashes and really see all that's been hidden and distorted. Color, has been a lingering factor for far too__long. What people have gotten away with is mind blowing...Hate, can never be great!! Please, do your research and aim to seek original documents cause we can never search enough....

[@brandongreenhough9379]

A royal of so much importance? Why because she was 1/15th black?

[@annmitchell4663]

She wasn't 'of so much importance'..she was George 111 wife..she had little influence and power,Queens of importance were the likes of Elizabeth 1.

[@heronimousbrapson863]

The Queen Charlotte Islands in British Columbia, Canada (just south of the Alaska panhandle) were named for her by captain Cook. Today, they're also known as Haida Gwaii.

[@acquanellaogbemudia9930]

Thanks for sharing this information

[@edithfisher4098]

I love history period. This was such a fantastic biography of Britain's black Queen. So the royals do have black in them. She was very fair so when King George III and her had children they looked white. This is probably how Prince Harry and Meghan's children will look. Very interesting story.

[@alicefountain8456]

Edith Fisher you can see curly hair in some of the Royals.Look at old photos after 1818.

[@mireillebvaval7280]

Harry had fine hair when young then later his hair got curly

[@mireillebvaval7280]

When the father is white and the wife is mixed more fair than brown or black the children come out white, but some my have curly hair. Some might have red or blond curly hair and Harry's blue eyes. Never know with genetics.

@Alice Fountain You also see the Queen's full lips and the same in all her children. Princes Charles, Edward, Andrew and princess Anne. I have always noticed this that they do not have small Caucasian mouth

[@kathrynroberts248]

With 15 kids, I imagine the poor lady banked on 60 grandkids. What'd she get? Like 6 that could visit the palace and a nation of brats?

[@sophiemartin7778]

[@celestebivin1659]

she obviously didn't want a whole bunch of grandchildren because she didn't let her daughters get married until they were older and at least two of them never got married.

[@tracy406]

Queen Charlotte was Godmother to my ancestor Charlotte Augusta Snyed.

[@chant2day]

Who I'm sure was named for her! Very interesting!

[@jayargonauts]

Is that the same family of Snyed of Keel Hall, Staffordshire?

[@maryfontenelle8633]

[@tonyb1223]

Frogmore house was built in the 17th century (1600's), waaaaay before Queen Charlotte was born, same with Kew Gardens, before her time.

[@deniseandrews113]

Thank you for this wonderful biography! I read of this Queen's ancestry, and your video confirmed much more. Also, the parallel between the current Prince of Wales and Charlotte's son proves there is nothing new under the sun. Both endured disastrous marriages after being forced to marry women they did not love. I hope Diana's tragic death put an end to these royal arrangements. How sad the comment section is filled with nattering nabobs who don't appear to have watched the full video! The African lineage of Queen Charlotte can hardly be denied. Her pictures, hair, mouth, the poem, and historic descriptions...all point to a reality that should not incite such vitriol! It is what it is. Thanks again for a well done presentation!

[@yashimom]

I wonder if the present Duke and Duchess of Cambridge know this story as they named their daughter Charlotte?

[@mireillebvaval7280]

Queen Charlotte had a daughter named princess Charlotte a well.

[@bellepierre24]

dixie montgomery Charlotte and King George III are the 7 times paternal grandparents of William and Harry. William named his son and daughter after King George and his queen consort Queen Charlotte.

[@annmitchell4663]

Of course they do..lol she is their ancestor..her portrait's are in the royal palaces...most royal names are used many times through the generations..hence lots of Henrys/George/Elizabeth/Charlotte/Anne ext..

[@aliceransom3483]

They did! All of Queen Charlotte's children are connected to all of European royalty...

[@sophiemartin7778]

dixie montgomery It could just be a nod towards Williams father, Prince Charles. Charlotte is the feminine. I believe it is also the middle name of Catherine's sister, Pippa.

[@claremarshal6311]

Lisa, I don't understand why you feel this way. Are you insulted? I myself have pale skin fair hair and grey/blue eyes but have recently gained info from my family tree that I have Black and Asian ancestry from before the period in time Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg lived.

[@thomaschaptonjr.5594]

There are many people who do not know their lineage, be Proud to be part of a strong a enduring gene pool. If all of those Irish and Italians French and Germans, AND ESPECIALLY CHINES would confess we would see the world is made up of many hues and colors.FROM BEFORE Jesus Christ was born .

[@annmitchell4663]

I think she means the queen was was not 'physically' black skinned, she may have had a black ancestor from many generations back in her family but she herslf was not 'black' if you go back to the times of Ferdinand and Issabell many kings and queens were from Spain/Portugal were much darker skinned and 'swathy' than Charlotte..our Royal familys have always inter mixed as it was the way countries formed treaties between themselves,no one is deniying her heritage..its documented in history..just that she was not 'black' in the physical way.

[@the8thchurch461]

@clare marshal Wow! How amazing that you have learnt this about your ancestry. I hope it will enrich your racial experience and not shock you into self hate

[@the8thchurch461]

@Ann Mitchell How amazing to explain that the mixing of Royals was to enable forming treaties between themselves! Someone mentioned that RACE was never an issue in Royals circles in ancient times when it came to marriage. What mattered most was religion. I suspect this is the reason many Africans in their 80s and 90s had no problems with Queen Victoria as their Queen and actually seemed to love her!

[@rachelmiller9280]

No...they were not dark, the term "blue bloods" comes from Spain where so many of the royals were so pail that the veins were so visible. The term was quoted.

[@hrh-PanF]

Also, those "Without issue": If the males ever visited the New World, the sexual playground of the European elite, they should look for those issues in the New World from Canada to South America to the islands. Should probably start with Puerto Rico and work their way through all Native American country.
