Princess Sophie Charlotte was born on this date in 1744. She was the second Black Queen of England.
Charlotte was the eighth child of the Prince of Mirow, Germany, Charles Louis Frederick, and his wife, Elisabeth Albertina of Saxe-Hildburghausen. In 1752, when she was eight years old, Sophie Charlotte's father died. As princess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Sophie Charlotte was descended directly from an African branch of the Portuguese Royal House, Margarita de Castro y Sousa. Six different lines can be traced from Princess Sophie Charlotte back to Margarita de Castro y Sousa.

There are no "biracial" babies, given that there is only one "race" and that is the human race.
Some people don't realize that most modern humans carry Neanderthal DNA. We are them and they are us! Of course ethnic and cultural differences abound but I don't listen to people who prattle on about them.
