The race was created as a new Listed race in 2018.[1] and is the highest-graded race belonging to Chelmsford City. The title commemorates the Queen Charlotte Stakes, a race run at Chelmsford Racecourse in the 18th and 19th centuries. The new race required royal approval for the title, which carries the name of Queen Charlotte, the consort of George III.[2]
