You could have at least thrown a possibly in there...The fact is that the speculations about Queen Charlotte are still unproven and made by historians who's argument's are based on a familial connection made 300 years before her birth. With many historians on the other side of the issue with just as much, if not more, evidence to support their views.Statements with actual sources that can be read by yourself to make up your own mind can be found here:[URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_of_Mecklenburg-Strelitz#African_ancestry_myth[/URL]Mainstream media outlets and ahistorical tv shows should not be your first and last stop for historical facts.Again - People's tolerance for ahistorical elements varies. Like in A Knight's Tale. Some liked it, and that's OK.But for others the ahistorical elements were too much. That is also OK.Filming period pieces with an eye to historical authenticity is OK. Not liking period pieces due to the ahistorical elements - no matter what they are -  is also OK.I can play this game too.With all due respect...You ought to refrain from backhanded comments about the cultural views of people you have never met.The amount of prejudicial assumptions you have rattled off about people do not know simply because they found the ahistorical elements in the adaptation of a well known book series set in Regency England immersion breaking is telling.I have said my piece - further dialogue will be counter productive.I'm out.</blockquote>
