What kind of person is George IV? Expose George IV's extramarital affairs.

George IV's full name is George Augustus Frederick, the eldest son of George III, but he is nothing like his diligent and earnest father. George IV was gifted when he was a child, and soon learned his mother tongue English, as well as French, German and Italian. When he grew up, he was witty, charming, talented and tasteful, and he was very accomplished in the study of architectural style.

Obviously, he has the potential of a male god, but George IV insists on taking the teasing route. Eating goods is a typical teasing attribute. It is said that George has a huge appetite and is a heavy drinker. He even suffered from gastritis because of overeating. How much can he eat? The Duke of Wellington is a frequent visitor to Windsor Castle. He was selected by the BBC as one of the 65,438+000 greatest Englishmen. He once described George IV's breakfast menu: two pigeons, three steaks, half a bottle of Mo Ze dry white wine, one glass of dry champagne, two glasses of Porto wine and one glass of brandy. Such intake will definitely form a body shape like Mount Tai. In his thirties, George IV was so fat that his biological parents didn't even want to recognize him.

At that time, there was a prose writer named Charles Lamb who wrote poems to satirize George's appearance:

A unique and huge fish.

Swimming in Arctic waters is awkward and difficult.

Look at his drooping cheeks. His brain is full of fat.

Do you know how much seawater he swallowed? ...

A dazzling array of fish passed by him.

Or shrink behind him.

His position is unparalleled, just like a fierce monster lurking at the bottom of the sea. ...

Ask him what his last name is and how he ranks.

He is the regent who rules the ocean.

He is big and covered in meat.

Plump and fat DC oil

My eyes are really bright.

He is the Prince of Wales.

But George IV, who is out of shape, still cares about her appearance. Like most European aristocrats, he smeared chalk powder on his glossy face and even used leeches to suck blood, which made his face pale at that time (Europeans at that time thought that pallor was the embodiment of aristocratic status because they didn't have to do rough work to bask in the sun).

George IV's love story

Heroes love beauty since ancient times, and George IV, the funny fat man, is no exception. The former Prince of Wales started a "happy" private life after he owned his own palace at the age of 18. First, he was fooling around with an actress named mary robinson. After the breakup, the woman begged for hush money, and the old man George III spent 5,000 pounds to cover up the scandal. Unexpectedly, four years later, this piece of Xiong Haizi paper made even bigger news-madly falling in love with Mrs. Maria Anne Fitzherbert, a widow six years older than him, and sending you a talk after dinner.

Although both the royal family and parliament opposed this kind of proper relationship, and the people regarded it as a laughing stock, the Prince of Wales insisted on trying to marry this Catholic in secret. This marriage is not only unlucky, but also invalid. Because "170 1 inheritance law" stipulates that no Catholic spouse can ascend to the British throne, and George is Chu Jun; At the same time, the Royal Marriage Law 1772 stipulates that the Prince of Wales may not enter into any marriage relationship without the consent of the King of England, which George III apparently refused.

1787, the profligate prince of Wales was caught in a huge debt, and the furious George III would never give his son extra change again, claiming that it was "* * * a waste of public funds to satisfy the extravagance of a young man who didn't take the right path". The prince was forced to mortgage his official residence. It was not until he issued a statement denying his relationship with Mrs. Fitzherbert that Parliament agreed to allocate funds to repay his debts and redeem his official residence.

But the power of love is great after all, and nothing can stop the Prince of Wales from being with his beloved mistress. Many years later, the secret passage of George IV's private meeting with Maria was discovered at Devon Manor. The passage is hidden behind a mahogany bookcase and leads directly to the adjacent bedroom. It is said that the prince of Wales at that time often visited Devon manor and would come to this room to study after dark.

Eight years later, the Prince of Wales fell into economic crisis again. This time, George III offered to provide him with financial assistance as long as he married another fat man, that is, his cousin Caroline. Under the eaves, George can only bow his head. When he met his future bride, he was shocked and blurted out, "My God! Then he said he was not feeling well and needed a glass of brandy. Moreover, Caroline also dislikes that he is too fat, which is far less beautiful than the portrait. However, they got married. It is said that the prince was drunk on his wedding day. A twisted melon is not sweet. 1796 1 month, after Princess Charlotte was born, they separated. Then, the Prince of Wales continued to return to Maria Fitzherbert Company, and Caroline died of sudden illness five years later.

If you think George IV is a loyal person, you are wrong. George IV was a bohemian woman who loved freedom. She had many mistresses in her life, including social butterfly Grace Eliot, Countess Jersey, Marquise Hertford and Marquise Cunningham, and left many illegitimate children.

James Gillray published a satirical cartoon in 1792, which more or less reflected the image of George IV's indulgence. In the picture, George, full of food and drink, slumped in a chair, eating rudely, picking his teeth and paunching his pants. He was surrounded by all kinds of drugs, including drugs for hemorrhoids and bad breath, and two things that were specialized in treating sexually transmitted diseases at that time: Vino vegetable syrup and licking pills. Indispensable, of course, there are bills owed by the hotel.
