[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Queen Charlotte was descended, like most European royalty (including her husband George III) from the mistress of Pedro II of Portugal, who was described as a Moor.  this does not mean she was necessarily black.  She was also 9 generations removed from Queen Charlotte, and any dna shared would be negligible at that point.[/quote]

Her contemporaries described Queen Charlotte as having African features.  The portrait of her done by Sir Allen Ramsey shows someone who isn’t completely white.

Charlotte was German. The facial characteristics you see can still be seen in Germany today. Stout German Hausfrau with densely curly hair. It's not uncommon. The Queen's Moor ancestor was nine or so generations and several hundred years removed. [/quote]
