Frederick, Prince of Wales (Frederick Louis; 1 February 1707 – 20 March 1751) was a member of the House of Hanover and therefore of the Hanoverian and later British Royal Family, the eldest son of George II and father of George III, as well as the great-grandfather of Queen Victoria. Under the Act of Settlement passed by the English Parliament in 1701, Frederick was in the direct line of succession to the British throne. He moved to Great Britain following the accession of his father, and was appointed the Prince of Wales. He predeceased his father George II, however, and upon the latter's death on 25 October 1760, the throne passed to Prince Frederick's eldest son, George, Prince of Wales, who reigned as King George III from 1760 until 1820.
His political ambitions remained unfulfilled, because he died prematurely at the age of forty-four. The cause of death has been commonly attributed to an abscess created by a blow by a cricket ball or a tennis ball, but a burst abscess in the lung was given as the cause of death.[13] Frederick died at Leicester House in London and he was buried at Westminster Abbey.
If Whe Butterfly his death in 1751, which should be easy given the differing accounts/causes of death, He becomes King in 1760, following His Fathers Death.
How The Prince was a supporter of Pitt the Elder, so Pitt would get more support for his planned attacks on Cuba, Philippines, and New Orleans.
Now Frederick was a Patron of the Arts [amateur painter] and a good Cricket Player Cricket Patron, But I can't find anything on His view of the Colonies.

?Any one have any Ideas on how he would have treated the Colonies post French Indian War.?
He would have been 74 in 1775, and the OTL start of the ARW.

I don't remembre ever reading a King Frederick TL on this Board.
