More than anything I'm really curious as to where the Abram Gannibal rumors came from. The original creator of this thread seems to use some of those rumors in the book that he wrote about Charlotte. I was going through a thread on another chatroom. I think this was from about 2007. They were...

I really wish that there was photography at the time as well. Weather Charlotte has ethnic features or not, I would want to see what she really looked like. Everything else aside nearly every picture of Charlotte looks completely different. Some of the portraits of Charlotte don't even look like...

While modern day prejudices and prejudices back then may have not been the same, I personally think that it would be a different conversation when dealing with royalty. Royals took ancestry and legitimacy very seriously. So, while Charlotte's ethnic features may have not been so much a problem...

That's what kind of stumps me as far as the paintings. Allan Ramseys paintings of Queen Charlotte are not the English beauty standards by any means. Allan Ramsey didn't really play up on Charlottes looks in the painting according to the English beauty standard at the time. It is entirely...

Hey thanks for the reply. There was actually a painting done of Queen Charlotte with a black boy in the painting with her. This work was completed by Johann Georg Ziesenis. I do understand that black people were in the UK at the time. However, I think that seeing black people regularly and...

I do completly agree with your statement about Madragana. There is no way that she could have contributed to Charlottes looks whatsoever. I completely understand you when you say that no one else made any comments about her being mixed race, and that is quite true. However, it is not uncommon...

In some of Charlottes paintings she looks mixed, and in some she simply does not. I see people say that she only looks mixed in Ramsey's paintings, but I personally disagree. She also looks quite a bit different than her siblings in my opinion, so that's why the Gannibal/affair claims attracted...

I just want to add some of my thoughts to this thread. The user that has created this thread mentions the name Abram Gannibal in some of his post. Ricland assumes that this might be Charlottes biological father. This is not the first time that I have heard Abram Gannibal's name in regard to...

I also think that she looks mixed race as well. However, I think that if she looked mixed race it was due to a more recent affair amongst one of her more recent ancestors. That is just a guess though.
