Having made a foray into the filming industry, India refused to look back and has recently been cast as the Young Queen Charlotte in Netflix’s ‘Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.’ Naturally, with such a massive role under her belt, fans are eager to know about India as a person. Well, fret not because here is everything we know about India Amarteifio.
India Amarteifio’s Multiracial Ethnicity
Born in Kingston Upon Thames on September 17, 2001, India Ria Amarteifio has a mixed ethnicity as her mother is from Germany while her father is a Ghanaian native. Moreover, with her mother being white and her father black, the actress mentioned that she had difficulty fitting in since childhood.

She even addressed the issue in a 2023 interview with Vogue Magazine, saying, “I know what it’s like to walk into a room and have everyone look at you because you’re the only person of color.”
Nevertheless, India discovered her deep love and passion for dancing and theatre from a young age and was determined to turn it into a profession. However, her first experience with filming came when she appeared in a Vodafone advert with her mum at eight.

However, realizing this might cut her career short, she resorted to more conventional acting methods and gradually began making a name for herself.
