HIDDEN AFRICAN ANCESTRY OF THE ROYAL FAMILY OF ENGLAND
The British Royal family has been and remains the most identifiable symbol of whiteness in the world! But is this symbolism valid? I think not! All historical data points to the fact that "The House of Windsor" has had Black blood in it's lineage since the reign of King George 3rd (1760-1820) when he wed the seventeen year old Princess Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg- Strelitz (Germany).
Queen Charlotte was a direct descendant of Alfonso 3rd (ruler of Portugal in the Middle Ages) and his beloved Madragana (Margarita de Castro y Sousa), a Black ("Moor") branch of the Portuguese Royal family!
[Charlotte's granddaughter became Queen Victoria and her great-great-great-great granddaughter is the current ruling monarch of the U.K.,
Queen Elizabeth 2nd.]
Charlotte's Black (or as they used to be called Negroid) characteristics can be seen in the full length portrait of the Queen, which was painted by the Scottish abolitionist Sir Allan Ramsay. The painting was commissioned for Charlotte's coronation after her marriage to King George.
 Ramsay, a Scottish abolitionist, painted her skin pale with full lips and broad nose unlike
the idealized portraits
of her done by Thomas Gainsborough!
Charlotte's personal doctor Baron Stockmar
in his autobiography describes her as
"having a true Mulatto face".
The best allusion to her African appearance can be read in the poem written to her for the wedding and coronation celebrations:
Descended from the warlike Vandal race,
She still preserves that title in her face,
Tho' shone their triumphs o'er Numidia's plain,
And Alusian fields their name retains;
They but subdued the southern world with arms,
She conquers still with her triumphant charms,
O! born for rule, -to whose victorious brow
The greatest monarch of the north must bow.
Some historians and scholars dispute the theory that Queen Charlotte had any Black blood. But in the world of today it is easy to prove or disprove....DNA analysis of the current family members of
The House of Windsor!

After digging through an archive at "Harvard University", Dr. Blight found that the largest commemoration was held on May 1st,1865. It was done to honor 257 dead Union soldiers who had been buried in a mass grave in a Confederate prison camp on an old racecourse.
Dr. Blight suggests that the origins of the holiday were later suppressed by white southerners who had reclaimed political power after the end of "Reconstruction". Black Americans were then marginalized or eliminated from the historical narrative!
