where was queen charlotte from

Queen Charlotte (Sophia Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz) was from Mirow in the small duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz in northern Germany.

For most people asking “where was Queen Charlotte from,” this is the key point:

• She was born at the Palace of Mirow, in Mecklenburg-Strelitz, a minor German principality in what is now Germany.

• She later became Queen of Great Britain and Ireland when she married King George III in 1761.

There is also ongoing discussion about her ancestry :

• Some historians argue she had distant African heritage through a 15th‑century Portuguese noble family, which is why she is sometimes described as possibly Britain’s first Black queen.

• Others are more cautious, saying the evidence is suggestive but not definitive.

In pop culture (like Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story), this idea of her mixed heritage is emphasized and reimagined, but those shows are clear that they are fictionalized, not strict history.
