I would say that the blue eyes make the probability of either
parent being African very small.

Gad, will you people pay attention?

The quote has no source. It's worthless.

Can't you pay attention? I snipped the source:

Biographical Sketches of the Queens of Great Britain
Mary Botham Howitt
Published 1856
H.G. Bohn

The source did not cite a source, but a recent queen's eye color
would likely have been common knowledge at the time.

What color are the eyes in the portraits? Do you have any
definite evidence that her eyes were not blue?

The point is, Sommers, you haven't any evidence her eyes were blue.

The evidence has been cited. How good that evidence is is another matter.

And it really is amusing how you dismiss Baron Stockmar's description

When did I do that? What I do reject is the jump from "she has a mulatto face" to "she is a mulatto". The conclusion may be true, but the evidence of appearance alone does not support it. It is simply not possible, in the general case, to tell a person's "race" from that person's appearance. When the evidence for that person's appearance is mostly digitized photographs of 200-year-old paintings, the inference is ludicrous.

of her while supporting an anonymous one.

Stockmar cited no sources, either, so his evidence must also be rejected as "anonymous".

Of course it wouldn't really matter if you did because blue eyes in a
mulatto are not unusual.

Oh, really? Kindly provide some citations. Blue eye color behaves for the most part as a recessive gene or genes, thus both parents must carry the relevant alleles for the child to have blue eyes. Therefore, if a "true mulatto" has blue eyes, the blue-eye genes must be in the black African gene pool, and there would be black Africans with blue eyes.

Her eyes in the Ramsay original, however, are
decidedly black

In the original, or in the digitized photo of the original? Can you actually see any eye color, or are the details lost?

-- large black Negro eyes.

Now you pretend to be able to identify a person's race just by the eyes. There is no such thing as "Negro eyes", and if there were, they would be brown, not black.
