It’s 1786 and King George III is the most powerful man in the world. Politicians, scenting the possibility of change, homed in for the kill. So, for that matter, did the king's much-disliked son and heir, the Prince of Wales. In late 1788, George III once again began showing signs of the mysterious mental illness that had first plagued him in the 1760s. From his parents and their entourage, the young George imbibed an unreasonable dislike of his grandfather, King George II, and of all his policies.
