Commentary
Georges III (1738-1820) est le petit-fils de Georges II et le fils de Frédéric-Louis (1707-1751), prince de Galles, et d'Augusta de Saxe Gotha. Il succéda à Georges II en 1760. Atteint de crises de démence de plus en plus prononcées, son fils Georges IV dut assurer la régence à partir de 1810.
