Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, was chartered in 1766 as Queen’s College, in reference to Queen Charlotte. It was renamed in 1825 in honour of Henry Rutgers, a Revolutionary War officer and college benefactor. Its oldest extant building, Old Queen’s (built 1809–1823), and the city block that forms the historic core of the university, Queen’s Campus, retain their original names.
Queen Charlotte was played by Helen Mirren in the 1994 film The Madness of King George, and by Golda Rosheuvel in the 2020 Netflix original series Bridgerton. (Dame Helen has portrayed at least 3 queens of England. And was the first to portray both Lizzies)
