The Scandalous Life Of Queen Charlotte 

I don't envy the queen. Putting fifteen children on the planet is bad enough but the constant machinations and jockeying for position as well as the betrayals of her own offspring must have been degrading at best. Throw in the bouts of madness by a husband she loved and her life was a nightmare. She probably yearned for her simplistic life as a young girl. I know l would.

A mother should never have to go tru betrayal from her children. Heartbreaking.

Her Moorish ancestor was 300 years before she was born. I mean, if she is black, then I'm Scottish Royalty, as my ancestors were King James and Mary, Queen of Scots 😂

That was excellent! Thank you!❤

What a life. I dont think I'd ever want to be a royal. Having everything you say and do, judged. A very interesting woman. 💚💚🕊🇦🇺

I wonder why people don't understand that morish wasn't a race. It's like saying somebody's American and expecting you to know what color they were or their ancestry.It's ridiculous

What an excellent narrator!!

Fascinating ❤

It is possible that King George III suffered from porphyria, a liver disease that creates porohyrin, a pigment that overwhelms the blood and causes mental degradation. It also makes the urine turn purple, which the king was said to have on occasion. However, his symptoms can not all be attributed to porphyria. It is thought that he also had bipolar disorder. Something like that can indeed cause much of George's erratic behaviour and incessant rants with confusion (something that can absolutely be a symptom of a manic episode). However, since his body will likely never be exhumed, there is little chance we will ever know for certain.

I wonder what would happen if a show had a historical African king portrayed by a white actor?

Excellent Presentation❣️Thanks❣️✨✨✨✨✨👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Hi Factinate thank you for the narrator with the beautiful Canadian accent ❤🤍❤

Bridgerton is not history it is rubbish.

What MOVIE was shown in this video?? I'd love to know! Very interesting!!! Does anyone know, please?

Your narration was fist class;the actress cast as Charlotte was beautiful & played her well,but why was a woman of colour chosen/cast in the first place? It was highly distracting & as the excellent illustrations you used,both historical & contemporary for this contentious csting. Was it supposed to bring in a new audience? I watched much of it with my Somali sister,whom my parents adopted age 12 & I adore here,as well as extremely proud of her. Her fury attokenism, I feel is well founded. If any number- in fact if any black historical figures - was cast with a white actor all hell would break loose!? This PC casting is only one sided,the actresses prowess,to a point brought an historical figure to life & costumes, make up,cinematography % high production values were first class,but,again the casting was distracting, my sister,who escaped a forced marriage aged 10/ 11 to a man of around 65 to generate dowry money & property for her brother. By ,breaking both her legs trying to escape incarceration,she was in hospital rather jail,I would have been about one & my mother pregnant with my sister. After my mother's visit to her in hospital.Things changed the dynamics of our family for the better. She had a fantastic brain & my father - an Arabic scholar,with a huge range of African dialects,said from day one that education was imperative. She is still one of the most intelligent & beautiful women I've had the honour to meet; she now has retired in Belgium, having worked as a translator for the UN having been head hunted during her full scholarship to Cambridge & is still brought in for tricky negotiations. Her reaction to this production was dislike &disbelief, feeling the casting brought nothing to the production. As we had a meal afterwards, she mused at the backlash & hysteria - if a well known black historical figure ,whose life was well documented, both words & multiple portrats was cast with a white actor as the historical figure,the outcry would have been immense. We speak at least once if not twice every week & watch various shows via Skype or through Instagram. The rescent casting of Anne Boleyn - again by a highly proficient black actor - was totally incongruous & unnecessary. We both agree that representation is awesome for the younger generation but,not in an historical drama. Facts are important in history - how else can we make the future better,but,by learning from past mistakes - in fiction this works very well,Sir Patrick Stewart's Othello,is an excellent example ; instead of wearing offensive 'black face',he alone was white while the rest of the cast was black. The recent adaptation of Percy Jackson also works beautifully - though the books describe Anabeth as white with beautiful blond hair - we were given a wonderful new black actor,who totally owned the part. Thanks for your time & effort & very best wishes to you&yours.

Great Narrator! I wonder what actually was wrong with King George.

He sounds as if he were Bi-polar.....sadly. But part of me wonders if he were slowly poisoned. perhaps inadvertently....

I love the Coach house it will make a great gite.

I just want to gently point out to people that there aren't any other movies or documentaries about Queen Charlotte to use in the video. At least, not that I know of.

Queen Charlotte was WHITE not Black. Stop showing those ridiculous pictures and pretending it's Queen Charlotte.⁷

Was she really black no

I love Factinate but sorry this was unwatchable. Queen Charlotte was NOT black. Where is the FACT in Factinate? You messed this one up "royally".

The Queen was of mixed race. It's a myth that her moorish ancestry was over 300 years. Every portrait of her shows her mixed background be could be grandparents and or even a parent. Not much of her family is known, and even with this show, more modern telling, speaks of home as a minor duchy, with very little wealth, nothing of her parents, grandparents, and / or close family are spoken off.

Charlotte was white.

I dont think George 111 was "mad" He was a broken man who lost the American colonies and had to deal with a deadlock on parliament that he just couldnt resolve. The press were ruthless and constantly mocked him it was all too much for him. He became depressed and withdrew from public life. He just snapped. He was highly intelligent and 200 yerars ahead of his time. he was a fascinating character.

I love the diversity on Brigerton

How does the color of the actress’s skin make a difference. It’s a movie. Although based on fact, it’s not a documentary. Get over yourselves. Go feed a hungry kid or something positive.

When they cast the Queen Charlotte with that light skin tone, I knew by looking at Queen Charlotte's older pics she definitely had this skin tone. Americans whether your small minds like it or not, they didn't treat blacks like you do...Great Britain treated blacks differently.

What in the Dr. Suess is up with her hair???

Nice narrative, enjoyed it…in saying that ..was disappointed that you showed the Netflix charlotte, your narrative is historical and Netflix is not, next we will have a dark skinned queen Victoria…can you imagine a Caucasian Nelson Mandela…I’d be offended..

Who is that black lady in the thumbnail

Total crap

Boy how wrong! First of all Charlotte was not & didn't look black! Secondly, George 's wife was picked for him!

She was black deal with it.

Queen Charlotte was not black. She was German.

Its hilarious and more than a little unsettling how in my lifetime long established historical fact was able to be so openly warped by a shitty streaming melodrama and now the whole world believes a German princess who was whiter than a bedsheet for some reason was magically African all along. Despite not a single one of her children or descendants having a single feature or trait of this false ancestry. This just tells you that they can change any fact, change any person's history and the general public are now ignorant enough to accept it. Welcome to Orwell's 1984.

Without Charlotte the Monarchy

Im confused. Was queen Charlotte white like her portraits or black like the phony pics?

Charlotte was never black..just TV fantasy .

Big Problem seems to be Charlotte wasn't Black.

AHHH, COME ON! I really wasn't expecting a woke revision of history from this channel. Really pathetic!

Marge Simpson hair. Ridiculous.

If you can't get Queen Charlotte correct why would you even waste your time to do this? This is just insulting and it's pure phony nonsense. Where's the "fact" in Factinate? Downright shameful.

👎

Ridiculous casting......

Many people seem bothered by the Queen's race, which is verry predictable; some rhings never change, however, while you imagine yourself as some revolutionary genius, you're point is ancient, irrelevant, and based on Color, not character, so you know what that makes you, right? If you dont like the idea of a colorful Queen, you are always free to change the video and/or channel rather than having a temper-tantrum, again

Why are you using a very brown woman to portray Queen Charlotte? Her parents and children belie this nonsensical myth.

I find the outage over the race of the actor hysterical. If the actors was white and had jet black hair instead of her original blond would you even care or notice? It’s proving the whole point of the narrative and you are all proving the point. She was put of place in her and not the typical “queen” type. Your so complacent with your division that you can’t even comprehend the lesson.
