Queen Sophia Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz is part of my United Kingdom heritage. She is my 6th cousin 9x removed. The ancestor who connects both of us is Sophie of Pommern-Wolgast (1458-1504), my 14th grandmother.
Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was born 19 May 1744 and died on 17 November 1818. She was the second Black Queen of England. She was the wife of King George III. She functioned as Queen of Great Britain and Queen of Ireland from her wedding in 1761 through to the union of this two kingdoms in 1801, after which it she was Queen regarding the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland until her death in 1818. She has also been the Electress of Hanover within the Holy Roman Empire until the promotion of her husband to King of Hanover on 12 October 1814, and after that she has also been queen consort of Hanover.
