 Happy 286th Birthday to King George III   On this day in the year 1738 (May 24 O.S.), a prince with a vision for morality, steadfastness, and diligence was born. In a family shouldered with duty, linked to all preceding dynasties in their island's history and continental equivalents, he understood the burden he had to carry all his life to the point of immense exaction and self-deprecation. He lived a pious and uxorious life, breaking with the conventions of immorality and debauchery, and guided his family towards a respectable life, which was wrongly rebuffed as a result of indolence. Practised agriculture with a passion and allowed science to be discovered without defying the guidelines of the Church. He was entirely mindful of his royal prerogatives and used them justly when the situation demanded. Alas, he was maligned for events that fell within the jurisdiction of the governments formed in his name and a malady that defies the most advanced understanding of modern ...

King George IV (George August Frederick, Prince of Wales) (8/12/1762 - 6/26/1830)

  (2/23/1749 - 5/3/1783) Today is the 273rd birthday of the late Prince Octavius son of King George III or as we called him Prince #8.

Victoria R (24/5/1819 - 22/1/1901) (R. 1837-1901) Queen Victoria was born on 24 May 1819 to Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn and Princess Victoire of Saxe-Gotha, previously married to the late Prince of Leiningen by the name of Princess Alexandrina Victoria of Kent. She was born in London at the home of most of her formative years, Kensington Palace. Her early life was described by some as miserable but sources show that she had a happy childhood which was occasionally overshadowed by the strict confines of her lifestyle which was known as the Kensington System which ruined her impressions upon her birthplace. Once she turned 18, she was no longer required to have a regent or a guardian due to her being the heir apparent after her father and one of her uncles passed (Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany). The current reigning monarch, King William IV, one of the two uncles she tolerated, was keen to ensure that his niece became a model monarch without the interference of...

King Ernest-Augustus I of Hanover, Duke of Cumberland and Teviotdale (6/5/1771 - 11/18/1851) King Ernst-August I of Hanover was the fifth son of King George III and Queen Charlotte. After two of his brothers passed, he inherited the Hanoverian cradle of his family.  King Ernst-August, like his father, had strong views on the importance of a monarch and the role they should play in their countries which gave him an absolutist image in the modern world that does not deserve the criticism but further understanding. He unlike most of his siblings valued his parents' strict morals and regulations which he adopted in his careers as Royal Prince & Peer of Great Britain and Ireland then King of Hannover.

King George III's 283rd birthday is today! Our most important holiday followed by others. Today we will relish his memory in many ways necessary. I will read a few books, write more literature and begin to make a monument. Also, I shall try finding those who can help maintain his legacy. King George III had written more than 6,000 essays on varying topics from Monarchy, History, Science, to Agriculture.

  King George V of Hanover (5/27/1819 - 6/12/1878) Prince George Frederick Alexander Ernest Augustus was born in Berlin to Ernst-August the Duke of Cumberland, the fifth son of King George III, and his wife Princess Frederica. Prince George was a potential suitor to his first cousin the future Queen Victoria as he was suggested by his father to their uncle King William IV but this didn't come to fruition. He was born partially blind in one eye but eventually became fully blind after an incident with his watch.

                (Prince Henry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland and Strathearn) Prince Henry was the fourth son and sixth child of Frederick, Prince of Wales and Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha. He is mostly known for his illegal union with Lady Anne Horton née Luttrell but his military service should not be overlooked. He did not slight his brother King George III as one would imagine but the King was not keen about this decision which occurred without his knowledge.  This resulted in the Royal Marriages Act of 1772.  

  William Augustus, Duke of Cumberland, Marquess of Berkhamstead, Earl of Kennington, Viscount Trematon and Baron Alderney  (April 26, 1721- October 31, 1765) The Duke of Cumberland was the second son of King George II and Queen Caroline following Frederick, Prince of Wales. Despite being his parents' favourite, he had a coloured reputation among many throughout Britain. The Scots and Tories remember him entirely as 'Stinking Billy' and the Butcher Cumberland of Culloden for his show of brutality during said battle. His allies knew him as 'Sweet William' and heralded him for his military prowess and determination. Prince William Augustus was appointed into the 2nd Foot Guards Regiment and Knight of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath at the age of 4 and developed his career afterwards as a Privy Counsellor to his father King George II and his nephew, King George III until his death.

If you find a cough tickling your throat, you must arrest it from making any sound. If you find yourself choking with forbearance, you must choke but not cough.  In the second place, you must not sneeze. If you have a vehement cold, you must take no notice of it. If your nose membranes feel a great irritation, you must hold your breath. If a sneeze still insists upon making its way, you must oppose it by keeping your teeth grinding together, if the violence of the repulse breaks a blood vessel, you must break the blood vessel but not sneeze. In the third place, you must not upon any account stir either hand or foot. If by chance a black pin runs into your head, you must not take it out. If the pain is very great you must be sure to bear it without wincing.  If it brings tears to your eyes, you must not wipe them off, if they give a tingling by running down your cheek, you must act as if nothing was the matter. If the blood should gush by any means of the black pin, you mu...

  Arthur Young was a writer who writes numerous books on agriculture and other sciences despite not being a good farmer. Luckily he was an anonymous patron whom he commissioned a book for? This patron went by the name of Ralph Robinson of Windsor and his suggestions to Young's book revolutionised the agricultural industry. It sold out almost everywhere and farmers met newer standards daily with precursors for our modern health systems being established. Who was this Ralph Robinson?  Why he was none other than King George III himself writing from Windsor Castle in a rare moment of leisure!

  (14 October 1630 – 8 June 1714) Her  Most Serene Highness Electress Sophia of Hanover and Princess Palatine of the Rhine The Electress Sophia was a very wise woman who brought numerous scientific innovations to her husband's Electorate of Hanover and was the following patron of her good friend Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz after her brother-in-law, John Frederick of Brunswick-Calenberg. As the granddaughter of King James VI of Scotland & I of England, she soon became the heir presumptive of the two kingdoms and their successor state of Great Britain when the ambition for a Protestant heir was reinforced by the Act of Settlement 1701 restricting the throne to her and her descendants. Everyone up to the grandchildren of Lord Martin Vogel, 5,750th in line to the British throne, is a direct descendant of hers either through one or more degrees.

   His Royal Highness Prince Edward, Duke of York and Albany (25 March 1739-17 September 1767) Prince Edward was the third child and second son of Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales and his wife, Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha. Despite being his mother's favourite, he was his older brother, the future King George's constant companion before they had a rift a few years before Edward died. He was an experienced naval officer, one of the first royal Freemasons after his father, and a most popular figure in London's society. He died in self-exile in the Princely Palace of Monaco before he was buried in Westminster Abbey with several of his relations.  

 Here Lies Fritz,  A champion for the rights of all, Soul neglected by those who did not see much in him, His fire shall never burn out or fall, Like the rest of his family, he was blessed by this nation which accepted with open arms, It is not only Britannia who mourns his casualty but his dear widow and offspring too, May he forever rest in peace.

King George III Our model paragon. The reason why we have chosen him is that he has been our inspiration for many years. His abhorrence of decadence, his sense of piety, his lifestyle regulation and routine has inspired us to be our very best.  Much maligned like most truly good people are, his story opened our eyes to how things cannot be judged at first glance. His birthday is celebrated by this group: May 24th by the Old Style Calendar, June 4th by the New Style Calendar. He and his family which are the focus of this blog will be discussed frequently with other topics relating to them. We advise you that since this is a blog in his honour, you must be respectful to him! The Life Anniversaries and Milestones of him, his fifteen children, consort, few forefathers, paramount allies, and his general reign shall also be observed. On another topic, we are entertained by his rather enjoyable punctuations of "What, What" and "Hey, Hey" at the end of his sentences.

The purpose of this blog is to provide sustainable information about the family which is occasionally called on this blog, the Kew dynasty refers to King George III, his heirs, and all other relatives. Further information shall be given among other posts and pages along the way. Also, we will not be endeavouring to use cookies on this site at all. God Save the King/Queen!
