"NOT ANOTHER ONE" They all say in unison

[georgeivsexpiredbrandy]

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.

Queen Camilla will most likely arrive at Westminster Abbey bareheaded like Queen Alexandra, Queen Mary, and Queen Elizabeth but she may choose to wear the Diamond Diadem like Queen Elizabeth II.

The Diamond Diadem (also called the State Diadem or the George IV Diadem) was created in 1820 by Rundell, Bridge, & Rundell for King George IV to wear during his 1821 coronation. He wore it over a Spanish hat with feathers on the way to Westminster Abbey.

It has since only been worn by women and it occupies a weird space between a crown and a tiara. Previous queens used it a bit more generally just like any other tiara but Queen Elizabeth II only used it for more ceremonial events like the coronation and state opening of Parliament. I don't see the tiara going back to being used as a regular tiara since everyone is so used to the way Queen Elizabeth II wore it. Even if Queen Camilla doesn't use the Diamond Diadem tomorrow, I hope that they release a formal portrait of her wearing it soon.

Woo coloured versions of Georgia and Adeline i made these in like 30 minutes so it's pretty bad

Lovely fatass Augusta describing her most recent fling. If you take the time to actually read what she's saying, which is nearly impossible, you'll notice that she is considerably less forgiving than actual King George IV. This is intentional, I think all of the Hanoverian dynasty kings would be ruthless gossip lovers as women. You might also notice that she is oddly sickly pale, especially when compared to Wellington. This is because — 1. She is literally just way less healthy than the people around her, go figure, and 2. To remind myself of the fact that she eventually DIES way before Adeline does. Her skin is supposed to look like that of a fresh corpse. Not decomposing, but not really alive either. She'd definitely be slightly less healthy than her real life counterpart, too. Due to both giving birth to a child and her apetite. Not like she'd eat less, though. In fact, her diet would probably even heavier. I can just imagine her as a more lively person – the kind of person that insists on going on walks and eating fruit every day to stay healthy. Her chest is also significantly larger than Wellington's, meant to emulate actual George IV's allegedly MASSIVE.. manly jewel.

Yeah, Georgia was not wearing pants while describing her wonderful, probably criminal of a date.

Unlike Georgia's colours, which I took creative liberty with due to being used to drawing King George IV quite a bit, all of Adeline's colour scheme is taken from Wellington's portrait. She'd definitely be the "aloof, mysterious, nonchalant dreadhead with no dreads"— Think, like, Sweden from Hetalia. She's the type to give a spider burial rights after brutally murdering it. I made her hair atrocious because I've always imagined Wellington having terribly messy hair. Also, until looking closely at Arthur's portrait to extract the colours, I never knew he had green eyes! The more you know, huh? Anyways, if I had to describe her, I would say.. ugly. Just kidding. I would say insufferable. She's that one kid in class that tries to act all mysterious n cool, but then you find them eating fucking LUNCHLY during break, in the bathroom, while having their period. She also would GENUINELY have that kind of "protective alpha" mentality, which Georgia finds both disgusting and amusing.

Studio of Thomas Lawrence • (1769–1830) • Portrait of King George IV of the United Kingdom, as Prince Regent • 19th century

The elaborate, outrageous, and often humorous outfits worn by subjects of old portraits!

Elaborate ✅️

Outrageous ✅️

Humorous ✅️ (His subjects, however, did not find his extravagant lifestyle to be in the least bit funny.)

George, Prince of Wales, (often referred to as Prinny) was the eldest son of George III, and was named Prince Regent when his father became too mentally unstable to rule. His regency, 1811-1820, gives name to the period. He reigned as George IV from 1820 to 1830. Both his regency and his monarchy were marked by fiscal extravagance. His education and taste served to label him one of the most accomplished men of his age, yet his self-indulgence was seen as a waste of his talents. Overweight, overdressed, and oversexed, he was not popular with his subjects. His cultural achievements, however, cannot be denied. No other member of the Royal Family has ever been such a staunch supporter of art, architecture, music, and science. His many legacies include Regent’s Park and the National Portrait Gallery. Upon his death, the Duke of Wellington said that George IV had been “the most extraordinary compound of talent, wit, buffoonery, obstinacy, and good feeling — in short a medley of the most opposite qualities, with a great preponderance of good — that I ever saw in any character in my life.”

“No person knows better than you do that the domination of England is the sole and blighting curse of this country.
