The joke here is that, by Wellington's first run as Prime Minister, King George IV was so morbidly obese that he had to sleep upright in a chair
I have officially decided that their names are Georgia and Adeline (though the latter will be referred to simply as "Wellington" much like her real life counterpart) i might also refer to Georgia as "Augusta" after the Augustus in actual George IV's name or "Fredericka" for the same reason. ALSO THEIR SHIP NAME IS REGENTDUKE MUAHAHAHHAHSHAJ

Lover's Eye:
Eye miniatures or Lovers' eyes were Georgian miniatures, normally watercolour on ivory, depicting the eye or eyes of a spouse, loved one or child.
These were usually commissioned for sentimental reasons and were often worn as bracelets, brooches, pendants or rings with richly decorated frames, serving the same emotional need as lockets hiding portraits or locks of hair.
Eye miniatures are believed to have originated when the Prince of Wales (later George IV) felt the need to send the widow Maria Fitzherbert a token of his love.
His gesture and the romance that went with it was frowned upon by the court, so a miniaturist was employed to paint only the eye and thereby preserve anonymity and decorum.
The couple went through a form of marriage on 15 December 1785, though all present knew the marriage was invalid by the Royal Marriages Act, since George III had not approved.
Reportedly Maria’s eye miniature was worn by George IV, hidden under his lapel. This is regarded as the event which led to lovers' eyes becoming fashionable,appearing between 1790 and the 1820s in the courts affluent families of England, Russia, France and America.
