QUEEN CHARLOTTE in Real Life: Recreating her Portraits + Family Tree- Mortal Faces

How Queen Charlotte from Bridgeton Looked in Real Life. I recreate her portraits from a young girl to an elderly lady to see how she might have looked in real life as well as dive into her family tree.
Queen Charlotte (1744-1818) is the controversial Black English Queen, featured in the recent Netflix show Bridgeton. Based on her features in her portraits, it is claimed she was England's first black Queen. She was born to German Royals in the Dutchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz but through her mother's side her 15th ancestor Madragana was a Moor or Mozarab concubine of King Alfonso III of Portugal. This gave rise to the assumption that her portraits have Africans features because of this ancestor; Others say her ancestor's DNA would be too diluted over 500 years to play any significant role in Queen Charlotte's looks. So I've recreated her portraits and let me know if you think it is just a coincidence or if she really did look African.

Everyone of note was heavily caricatured in that period, it didn't imply that the population had 'a problem'. English 18th Century satire was savage. All the accounts of her that I have read record that she was respected for her patronage of the arts, her gentle and kind nature to everyone she met and, above all, her concern for the health and wellbeing of children through her support of children's hospitals and orphanages. I think she was admired and loved by the great majority of the population, as was the king. They were both considered moral, respectable and caring, with George's ill health being a great tragedy for her and the nation.

Mortal Faces, This is another well done and researched video. There are two other KZbinr's that I watch who also put so much effort into their presentations. You all are to be congratulated for your hard work. One thing that I did notice about Queen Charlotte's portraits was that they all resembled each other at different times of her life. Sometimes, you don't always get that with other historical figures. I agree with you in regards to the chart that you provided and it just doesn't seem important in the grand scheme of things. Oh my gosh, fifteen children! I've mentioned that on another video about Queen Anne and her 17 pregnancies. Those poor women just had to have been so worn out. I don't know how they did it. As for Queen Charlotte, she looked like a very lovely person and a kind one. Take care!

[@alexandracorvo377]

I understand that according to math her old ancestor has virtually close to no impact on her genes but she does have a very portuguese face. Also, many of her ancestors on that tree are portuguese. The nose, lips, and skin colour, make her seem like she's from here. I say this as someone who looks a lot like Charlotte, wide nose and big lips, which is a heritage from my family from the south of portugal (Algarve - the region where Faro belongs to - and Alentejo). That side of my family has these prominent characteristics that Charlotte showcases. I don't have the 'tanner' skin like hers tho, as my dad's side is from the north, where people are 'lighter'.

I thought about it too, as she looks more black than Pushkin who was quarter back. It seems there was a black relative closer to her than 500 years ago. But none of her kids looked even partly black. So eventually it seems that her "black features" are just coencidence.

[@koffeedayspa]

@@minaolenella869 Meghan Markle who is 1/2 black and her children doesn’t look black, especially Princess Lilly. However, black makes 16 shades from dark to very light, white can only make white. Therefore, I would think that it is very possible her father might not be her father or her mother, was mixed. Someone was passing because it would be impossible to to look that black from 500 years ago. If it was admitted she was mixed race, the would change the dynamics of the RF, I don’t think she identified as ethnic.

Out of 12 kids born to my grandparents, my Mom is the only one that came out with extremely fair skin, blue eyes, and straight black hair. We call that throwback genes. People always thought my Mom was white and didn't believe me when I said I wasn't mixed because my Mom was full black as well. Things pop up here and there. Someone's kid comes out with kinky hair and brown skin, wondering why that happened.they look at their family tree and see that they had black ancestors. It happens the other way around as well.

If she was really mixed, it was probably from another person closer to parents timeline. The family tree isn’t 100%. People would take in other family members children and raise them as their own. It’s not totally far fetched that this happened with her grandparents or great grandparents. But there’s no way it was from 15 generations before. IMO.

[@easterworshipper730]

She wasnt black nor mixed .

[@gillianrimmer7733]

In the case of the lineage of Queen Charlotte, her ancestors are known, and their lives documented - if any had been adopted into the family, it would be common knowledge. And, even if someone was adopted secretly, in order to pass off as their own child, they wouldn't have adopted a black baby.

[@jessiebryant8141]

This was very good. Thank you for the breakdown. I believe someone in her family may have passed for white. It's the only way 11 generations later she could pick up black features. Wish there were more pics of her family tree.

[@caraira1909]

She wasn't black nor she had black ancestry, she was a German princess of Mecklenburg and Strelitz houses and this not because I am against of the idea of a black queen but because the statement is historically inacurate. It would have taken someone on her family tree to marry someone black and considering that there wasn't any black person within the nobility and a marriage with a commoner or at least with someone who wouldn't have brought any sort of political advantage was out of question a marriage with a poc in the 18th century never happened. The whole idea of a black queen Charlotte comes from the Bridgerton show who created the tale based on fantasy not in historical facts.

[@reynajelly]

@@caraira1909 I agree with you but theoretical that dna could be from cheating or something

[@actuallyimnotreallysureyet6360]

@@reynajelly we know it would be from cheating, but the illegitimate mixed race child of that cheating wouldn’t have had an opportunity to marry into nobility. Unless they kept it a secret and let the mixed kids live with them in secret and passed off one of the white-passing descendants as legitimate to eventually marry one of them off into high rank in order for charlotte to end up a princess. That or the VERY first child had to be white-passing and passed off as legitimate. It’s unlikely they did this for mixed race children.

She seems like a really nice person, easy to talk to despite her status which may intimidated many. She's beautiful and really looks like a modern woman. I doubt her husband had any problems with her looks since they had 15 children. Those people who complained did so because of racism pure and simple. I especially enjoyed how the CGI was used to make the images come to life. Wishing to see more of videos like this.

nobody complained about her looks, satirical cartoons were not uncommon in this time period, there are many of her and George, and also their son the Prince Regent. Nobody thought of her as anything but a white European woman, because that is really what she was

I met a man who said he was a Moor, and he seemed to think that it had “ethnological value.” Very interesting to learn a little bit more about the mix of cultures to which this term was attributed.

[@Frugal_granny]

As a descendant of a mulado, I can say that Broad nose or other traits can show up generations later… because many out there have genes that their families don’t admit exist…. But genes have a funny way of popping up! Consider redheads! It’s a gene hidden in lines until it does a dance with another redhead-gene & bam a red head can appear in the family! So even if her lineage is traced back to a Christian ancestor in Moorish Spain… it doesn’t mean a generation before other genes might not exist!

Queen Charlotte was a beautiful lady. If she took an AncestryDNA test it is unlikely that any African admixture would even show up if her ancestor 15 generations back was even African. Charlotte’s phenotype doesn’t matter in that sense as I have seen people of different races resemble each other. She was a great queen and that’s all that matters.

She looks like my granddaughter. I am so amazed that I will have to watch this video again. The transformations performed are quite beautiful. It seem as you went along her family tree that was a lot of latin names going down those branches which can still be brown skin heritage. My granddaughter is not of immediate mix race but I do have that in my ancestry probably back in slavery. My grandfather George looked to be white but wasn't and his sister that also had that same look would visit now and then but my Aunt said that her last visit it was said that she ran off to pass and was not ever seen again. I always wonder if she succeeded or did, she just parish. I could tell from the paintings that she was an exotic beauty. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the days to come.

I would love to see what Mary of Guise (Marie denGuise) really looked like. She was Mary, Queen of Scotts’ mother and was known to be tall, beautiful, and very smart. She had even gotten a proposal from Henry VIII that she immediately turned down.

What you describe is all theoretical at this point, records are all over the place. People have been and will continue to fight over her heritage on inflated tenuous assertions just to basically claim it as their own, she looks vaguely Moorish in some portraits (which could also be modern Spanish, Portuguese or North African Arabic btw), so that apparently makes her black. 🙄 But the specific portrait by Ramsey has an interesting recent theory attached about her 'mulatto' features being emphasized to either support abolitionist causes or to exoticize her to the colonies. In any case the link, if any, would be more than several hundred years old and would have been mostly bred out by the time it got to Charlotte since her immediate relatives are all Germanic-European, so how far back should we go into a family tree to find a 'black' person, all of human history? Don't be absurd. It's essentially fetishizing the accolade of 'blackness', no matter how distant the ancestry might be.
