[1] With his younger brother marrying and producing an heir, George decides not to “marry a foreign noble bride” instead preferring to have his secret wife, Maria Fitzherbert, by his side, his large debt doesnt begin to be paid off until he becomes Prince Regent in 1811.
[2] Upon the death of her father-in-law, George III in 1820, Maria was given the royal title of Marchioness of Brighton, as well as possession of Brighton Pavilion.
Upon the death of her husband, his nephew allowed her to keep her title and land, as well as being able to be referred to as widowed, she was however not allowed the pension of dowager Queen or dowager Princess of Wales.
[3] George V, known privately as the “Honeymoon Prince” being born nine months after his parents wedding and would be their only child as their marriage was not a happy one and the couple soon separated. Frederica retired to Oatlands.
George would grow up in his own household situated within Gunnersbury House in Hounslow, arranged by his grandfather and uncles, brought from Colonel Ironside, who sold it in 1792, the house had previously been owned by Princess Amelia, favourite daughter of George II.
Here George would have his uncle, Prince Augustus Frederick, Duke of Sussex, the only living son of George III, who didn’t pursue an army or navy career, serve as Governor, and Augustus’s liberal views were influential on the young Prince.
A year after his birth his father went back to his military duties, seeing too much of his wife in his son.
Some spoke about him joking the military, however in 1808, 16 year old George was the only legitimate grandchild and heir after his uncle and dad. Instead they began discussing potential brides[4].
At the age of 28, in 1820, Prince George would receive news of his grandfathers death and upon his uncle, becoming George IV, Prince George was given the titles of Duke of Cornwall and Rothsay, Earl of Chester and Carrick and Baron of Renfrew. These were all titles usually share by Prince of Wales, and were given as a sign of him being second in line to the throne.
When his father died in 1827, as well as succeeding to the Dukedom of York and Albany, George IV also created him as gave him the official heir title of Prince of Wales.
He would hold all these titles for three years until his uncles own death in 1830, at 38 year old, he became George V.
