👀☕️So Queen Philippa of Hainault was the first black queen of England?! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ When Megan Markle was announced as Duchess of Sussex there was so much conversation and interest in Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, Queen of England when married to King George lll in 1761. 434 years prior to the birth of Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz Queen Philippa of Hainault was born. She from our knowledge was the first black queen of England. In our previous post, I stated that H. Eugene Lehman claimed that Queen Charlotte was deliberately portrayed as a biracial queen to reflect that enslaved Africans should not be considered as inferior because their Queen is one of them. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I found it interesting that we're willing to admit that the racial background of Queen Philippa Lehman was not will to make that same acknowledgement where the evidence supports their racial background is somewhat similar. Is there a limit to England's acknowledgement of their black monarchy? Skin brown all over and yet they had her looking whiter than a milkybar. The French called her son Edward of Woodstock aka THE BLACK PRINCE 'Le Noir' and historians played booboo the fool and claimed lack of understanding of why that could be. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 'Queen Mum of the Middle Ages' Philippa was that bad and boujee baddie who clearly made an impact on this country. So much more we need to learn about her.👸🏾⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ 📒Lives of England's Reigning and Consort Queens⁠⠀ By H.
