Are you a fan of #Bridgerton? Did you know Queen Charlotte is #biracial? What a way to break glass ceilings for #biracialwomen! Queen Charlotte is played by Golda Rosheuvel. Shes a #Guyanese #British actress and singer. She is known for her theatre work and a number of on-screen roles, most prominently for the portrayal of Queen Charlotte in Netflix’s Bridgerton. She was born in #Guyana to a Guyanese father and an #English mother. “I am of a #dualheritage; my mother was White, English, and my father Black, Guyanese. And all my career, because of the color of my skin, I have played Black roles. Representing my father, I’ve done that. But to represent my mother’s side who is White, that is quite a unique opportunity. I get to be involved in a period drama that I never really saw myself doing because there weren’t any Black people being cast in those roles. So, to get the opportunity to play a Queen, I celebrate that.” Her stage credits including Porgy and Bess, Macbeth, The Winter’s Tale, Romeo and Juliet, Angels in America, Bad Girls: The Musical, and Jesus Christ Superstar. In 2018, she played a lesbian Othello! She’s also an out and proud #lesbian IRL. Her partner is writer Shireen Mula.
