Well, I'll be!!

Charlotte, North Carolina, and Charlottesville, Virginia are just a couple of places named after this African blooded woman. The royal painters were tasked with... "whitening" her features in portraiture.

Princess Sophie Charlotte was born on May 19, 1744 the eighth child of the Prince of Mirow, Germany, Charles Louis Frederick, and his wife, Elisabeth Albertina of Saxe-Hildburghausen. . A princess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Sophie Charlotte was descended directly from an African branch of the Portuguese Royal House, Margarita de Castro y Sousa. Her portraits and European ancestry are built up, and her African lineage is watered down, but the truth will set you free. ~ anon
