Queen Charlotte, Queen Elizabeth II have an Ancestor with African Lineage
Queen Charlotte is the Queen Consort in the history of England with African ancestry. The current British Monarchy are her descendants but all of them look Caucasian. Even if you are the most mono-racial looking person there is a chance you have 1 ancestor from another race. Martha Stewart who has Blond hair and Blue eyes is one of the descendants of Genghis Khan.
If you will have a DNA test, you could see some other ethnicity in your veins that you never expect. Queen Charlotte was a German Princess with lineage from the Moors. They are Muslims of African Descent who migrated to the Iberian Peninsula back in 711 AD.
After the success of Bridgerton, Netflix decided to make a Spin off based on a historical character from that show, Queen Charlotte. Before Squid Game, Bridgerton is the most-watched Netflix Show. Warning to history buffs who never watched Bridgerton, It is not historically accurate. The show is purely for escapism and fantasy.
The miniseries is a prequel in a way it will show the life of a younger Charlotte before she became a Queen Consort. In Bridgerton, Queen Charlotte is played by Golda Rosheuvel, but because this is a prequel, a younger actress will play her.
