Is it true?

The matter is still disputed. It is said that Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of George III in the 18th century, was descended from the de Sousas of Portugal, who were a black branch of the Portuguese house; some say they were Moorish, which is different. If so, the line descends - however diluted - to the present royals. Here is an interesting piece to read, with arguments:

As others have said, we all have some african ancestry.

It's a pity you didn't post this question when the majority of the Brits are here. It is highly possible but you will get many people who will refute what you say. The Duke of Edinburgh, Charles' father and the Queen's husband is a Greek Prince. Deduce from that what you may. Also Victoria's husband, both Germans have a checkered past, once again deduce from that what you may.

The function of King or Queen is basically as a figurehead and ambassador, it quite is likewise what Prince Charles, Prince William and each and each of the close individuals of the royal kin do besides. no longer something a lot ameliorations at the same time as a clean monarch receives to the throne. in the united kingdom a monarch continues to be monarch till they die. basically in severe circumstances does one abdicate. likely the Queen will stay on the throne till her lack of life, then Charles turns into King till his lack of life, and also with William and his firstborn baby,

Queen Charlotte was maybe a quarter black.

Does that mean that Prince William would be forbidden to marry a Black Princess?? and why???
Isn't this a total racist question??
That should be a total free choice...
They are Royal..., but they are human...
If Prince William WANTS to marry any Princess, wether from any origin... he should have that HUMAN right.... Final...

Hey that's the one Charlotte NC was named after. Yeah I have heard it. We all probably got black in us. Doesn't really matter.

In royal circles, pedigree is everything, and every royal bedding was watched (literally!!) to ensure there were no cuckoos in the royal nest. There is an official post, called the Knight of the Bedchamber. One of his duties was to literally be present when the royal couple did their royal duty, so no one could ever suggest that the child of such a coupling did not belong to the king. What a damper that must have been on spontaneity in the bedroom!
In any case, if there is any, it is so far back as to be infinitesimal.

If they don't have some black in them, I highly recommend they try it. The saying is true, "once you go black, you'll never go back" I find that not to true as it is 'once you go black, its a dispointment when you go back". Besides, Queenie needs to unclench that face, so she needs big black C**K if you ask me

Fascinating. But I agree..what difference does it make now?
Even if it is true, I won't hold my breath for any acknowledgments of it.

Honey, I bet we've all got a little black in us. The slave owners had many children with their slaves. That's been passed on through quite a few generations.
