Bridgerton Star Insists Queen Charlotte Really Was Black

A Bridgerton star has reignited the controversy over whether George III's wife Queen Charlotte, who is depicted in the Regency-era drama, was black in real life.

Adjoa Andoh said of the royal, played by fellow black actress Golda Rosheuvel, “Queen Charlotte wasn't fictionalized as a woman of color, she was a woman of color. You just have to do your historical research, according to The Daily Mail.

The actress – who in 2023 said the Buckingham Palace line-up after King Charles’ coronation was “terribly white” – said the Netflix series gave viewers “a more realistic version of history.”

The lineage of the German-born Charlotte can be traced and there is one relative of Moorish ancestry, 500 years before she lived.

One fan said: “The chances of me having black ancestry are way bigger than that and I'm not a woman of color.”

“History is full of really interesting actual women of color, so it's time we start making TV shows about them and stop giving credit where there's no credit due,” he added.

Bridgerton is a historical drama and romance series produced by Netflix and set in Regency-era London (1810s).

The series, inspired by Julia Quinn's novels, explores love stories and social intrigue. It has been officially renewed through season 6. The fourth season, focusing on Benedict’s love story, is now streaming on Netflix.

A woman alleged to have fired an assault rifle at the luxury Los Angeles home of Rihanna -- while the pop superstar was inside -- was being held by police on Monday.

Officers in the city said shots were fired towards the mansion in the middle of day on Sunday by a suspect driving a white Tesla, which had stopped across the street.

Aerial footage after the attack showed bullet holes in a gate at the sprawling property, which Rihanna shares with rapper A$AP Rocky and their three children.

The Los Angeles Police Department said Ivanna Lisette Ortiz was arrested at a shopping complex half an hour after the incident.

Captain Mike Bland told reporters the weapon used was an AR-15-style rifle.

Ortiz was booked on suspicion of attempted murder with bail set at $10.225 million.

Rihanna, one of the world's most popular pop stars, has not publicly commented on the shooting.


Oscar Nominee Benicio Del Toro Says ‘One Battle’ Has ‘Heart’

Benicio del Toro won his first Oscar 25 years ago for "Traffic."

This year, he is once again in the Academy Award conversation for his soulful turn as karate dojo owner -- and part-time savior of immigrants -- Sergio St Carlos in "One Battle After Another," a role he says reflects his own sensibilities.

"There is a lot of me in there," Del Toro told AFP ahead of the Oscars gala on March 15, where he will vie for best supporting actor honors with co-star Sean Penn, Swedish veteran Stellan Skarsgard, Jacob Elordi ("Frankenstein") and Delroy Lindo ("Sinners").

In Paul Thomas Anderson's high-octane, politically charged thriller about leftist revolutionaries, white supremacists and immigration raids, Sensei Sergio provides a sense of calm at the film's heart.

Most of Del Toro's scenes come opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, who plays Bob Ferguson, a highly strung, and somewhat strung out, former militant who must hunt for his missing daughter (Chase Infiniti) when the past comes back to haunt him.

The 59-year-old Puerto Rican actor acknowledged he was surprised by the reception he has received for his role, which accounts for less than 15 minutes of screen time.

"It feels good, and it also can make you a little bit uncomfortable too," he said in a Zoom conversation. "I'm proud of it."

"One Battle After Another" -- which earned 13 Academy Award nominations -- is the front-runner to take the best picture Oscar.

"I did enjoy the film, and I felt that the film did have a lot of potential," Del Toro said, noting that he felt his co-stars were "really the protagonists," with his to a lesser extent.

"Perhaps there's something in a movie that is so dark... since it brings a little bit of a sense of hope," he added of his character -- though he admits he did not initially see him that way.

- 'There's a heart there' -

Del Toro was initially studying business at a university in California when he dropped out to pursue acting.

After some small television roles, an appearance in a Madonna music video and a few big screen appearances, his major breakthrough came in 1995 with "The Usual Suspects."

And then in 2001, he won the Oscar for best supporting actor for Steven Soderbergh's "Traffic," in which he played a Mexican border cop who tries to remain honest amid the drug wars. He bested a stacked field that included Willem Dafoe and Jeff Bridges.

A second Academy Award nomination followed for Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's "21 Grams."

Del Toro, who has worked with top directors from Soderbergh to Inarritu to Denis Villeneuve, says he was immediately drawn to "One Battle" for the chance to work with Anderson for a second time, after "Inherent Vice" (2014).

The director "just creates a real comfortable place for creativity, for collaboration," he said.

Anderson asked him if would play a karate instructor and sent him a photo of a tiger... in a martial arts kimono.

But as time passed, the character evolved from someone just helping Ferguson on his search into more of a "fighter for the underdog, a protector of these migrants who were looking for the American dream," he said.

In one scene, Sensei Sergio introduces Ferguson to his extended family -- and to some of the migrants he hides so they can avoid arrest.

"I felt very, very, very, very strong about it," Del Toro said. "I felt like it needed to be treated with humanity... with respect."

He says he is happy his work has been honored because of what his character represents.

"There's a heart there... I think that's why people are gravitating towards Sensei," he said.
