No Problem Mada & Tatiana  ; I was bitting my tongue for a while now knowing there was no slavery with the blacks. That breed with the families or anything negative. It was natural also the typical thing of that time arrange marriages with the powerful aristo/royal blood of a different color of skin & mass wealth... thats it. Its a good thing that I found the lecture documentary by the professor & the documentary to show y'all; its better than me explaining it. |

In 1772 King George III broke off relations with his brother Henry, the Duke of Cumberland, after learning that Henry had married a commoner named Ann Horton.

Herbert Taylor was appointed in 1805 as Private Secretary to King George III. George III's eyesight was failing. He needed a secretary to help him carry out his chores.

It was quite touching that Queen Charlotte had a whole Christmas tree put up at the party.  |

Queen Charlotte helped the German composer Johann Christian Bach to get the position of state musician following George Handel's demise.

I think the finger up like that is supposed to represent 'Hush! The baby is sleeping!'

In his whole life George III never visited Wales, Scotland, Ireland or the north of England.

I like George III's statement: 'Born and educated in this country, I glory in the name of Britain.'
