Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz Statue

UFR agent Mattt King recently deplaned at the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport (CTL). Outside the airport Mattt King would find this statue. The statue is that of Queen Charlotte Sophia of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, wife of King George III and namesake of both Mecklenburg County and the City of Charlotte. |

Charlotte Sophia would be born in what is now Mirow, Germany in 1744. She would both meet and marry King George III on September 08, 1761. |

The then princess would be 17, and George 24. Together the King and Queen would have six daughters and nine sons. |

Two of those sons, George IV and William IV, would go on to rule as King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of Hanover. |
Queen Charlotte's granddaughter would become Queen Victoria and her great-great-great-great granddaughter would become the current monarch of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms, Queen Elizabeth II. |

The 16 foot bronze statue would be created by Raymond Kaskey during the years 1988-90. Raymond Kaskey would also create the four statues at Independence Square in uptown Charlotte. |

UFR agent Mattt King thinks that the statue is really that of one of our reptilian overlords. |
