About Me
Hi my name is King George the third. I was named “the third” after my grandfather died. When I was little my mentor John Stuart taught me how to overcome my shyness and he also taught me about political matters. When I was 12 years old I was named King of Whales. I was a pretty cool kid. I was named King of whales after my father died in 1751. When I turned eighteen, my grandfather had invited me to live in St. James place. Haha, but little did he know that Lord Bute had convinced me to stay. I wished I had gone to my grandfather's place, because when I was 22 in 1760, he sadly died.

On September 8th, 1761 I got married to the beautiful Charlotte. My father in-law was Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. I know pretty cool that my father in-law was Duke. We we were married for about one year. Then had fifteen children. Our eldest was George, then William, Edward, Frederick, Ernest, Charlotte, Amelia, Augusta, Elizabeth, Adolphus, Sophia, Augustus, Mary, Octavius, and Alfred. They were well, normal kids except for the fact that well we lived in a pretty cool house.Go follow each of them, @GIV, @WillieIV, @Prince_Edward, @Prince_Freddie, @ErnestAug, @Royal_Charlotte, @PrincessAmelia, @RoyalPoofs, @LizzyPrincess, @ADOprince, @SophiePoo, @AUGFRED, @Maryline, @OctaviusPrincessie, @Alfreddie.

As you may know the colonists won the American revolution. I wasn’t ready to fight. I blame it on my troops. I know people were mad at me for taxing all of the colonists, but in my defense, I needed to pay for the French and Indian War. So anyway, after the American revolution I was forced to move out by William Pitt. He somehow got to be prime minister for 17 years. After that people may think I went into violent insanity, but I was just expressing my feelings. But I recovered, then became a beloved monarchy and symbol of stability. A year after I went so called “insane” again, my son became a prince George IV. Finally someone I can be proud of.
