Wasn't she of Portuguese descent?

She was Portuguese.. She might have seemed darker in terms of complexion compared to lighter skinned English ladies, but she was not African.

She apparently did have Moorish ancestors, but that was many generations back. She's a distant cousin relation, too, through her German ancestry. May check out her Portguese ancestry (when I find some time!) as that seems rather interesting to figure out. |

Since there are no pictures of her, I don't think we'll know. IMO, all of the portraits of her vary too much.

I don't believe anything on the internet regarding history. It can be changed with a click of a button.

I don't believe anything on the internet regarding history. It can be changed with a click of a button. A lot of people get things wrong, and some just repeat the same things over and over without checking if any of it is true. The thing is - those who proclaim they are "royal experts" are the ones that get the attention, and anything they write is taken as the gospel truth. Some royal authors have written the worst nonsense out there - I had to bite my tongue when some of those I was semi-acquainted with on other social media, were talking about this late author who was their friend. Fine. But I have concluded from my own research into some royal persons that this late author seemed to be nothing more than a royal plagiarizer, essentially just repeated the same highly suspicious information and badly sourced nonsense he found in earlier authors' books. Almost verbatim, even, just rephrasing a sentence here, or a paragraph there. I just found this on my own a few years back. I turn on cynical eye on so-called "royal experts" and those royal authors who essentially have many quickly released books on basically the same royal topic. Beware! Research is very hard and quite time-consuming. I resent it almost when a provocative take is written about a certain royal, most likely a deceased one who cannot defend themselves, and the commenters' replies are like "well, I knew that...". No, you did not. The information is there, but is not known by most royal watchers or lay people surfing the net. It's probably only in a few authors' out of print books, or in royal archives, or released only in other languages, etc. You. did. not. know. I want to  . Well, back to George and Charlotte... |

George III was a man of science and of farming, he was faithful to his wife Charlotte, Charlotte was descended from Portuguese '' blackamoors''. She had many children, the oldest being Regent George, later King George IV who was a reprobate in all ways. Sadly George had periods of mental imbalance which is why his son became Regent. Very sad really.
