But why is the duke black?

Marissa Marlborough Why not? His skin tone and ethnicity are never mentioned in the book- only his blue eyes and dark hair. Regé-Jean Page is a fantastic actor and super hunky. Great casting choice.
Kelly Seriously?! The show is amazing, idk what you are trying to say.
Maria Rose Ignore this person's questions because they have put various argumentative questions in this book question feed with the desire to cause negative reactions while hiding behind an unbacked persona on this site.
KD They were probably white in the book just like all nobility/royalty in Regency England. The Netflix show was reimagined by the brilliant Shonda Rhimes and featured a diverse cast (as did Hamilton). They address it for a brief moment in the show and that’s it. You probably have a book with the Netflix cover. It’s irrelevant to this story.
