Actually, King George, III's wife, Queen Charlotte is of Portuguese descent. You can google her pic, and you'll see that she is, or looks like a mulatto. Color has been made an issue once slaves were exported to the new world. So if you look at it, that racism hadn't evolved to what it is, could this be accurate? Just a thought.
I agree. Liberty has already been exercised with the story, still arriving with the same ending. It was enough of a diverge that it was not really a conflict with the book, but the essence of the story. The diversity in this series is what it could have been had not racism existed - an interesting perspective that I enjoyed. I think going to other extremes outside the story for sexual orientation is problematic because the is a period piece in the early 1800s. There was a very small part in the series addressed but very small, consistent with the era. but anything more unlikely for this story, for that period.
