London Museum’s ‘LGBTQ Audio Guide’ Wrongly Claims British Monarch Was “Person Of Colour”
22nd April 2024
The audio guide is being used in the Queen’s House in Greenwich, a publicly funded part of Royal Museums Greenwich.
A section of the guide references a large golden sculpture of Queen Charlotte, claiming: “Queen Charlotte, the nation’s first royal person of colour.”
The guide then states “Yep, you heard me. The insecure white boys writing history conveniently forget to mention that bit, because… well, structural racism.”
King George III’s wife was Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. She was whiter than Megan Markle, and Megan Markle has about as much ‘colour’ as Taylor Swift.
