In the original history, George III was a mentally ill person, and even because of mental illness, George III's son Augustus had to serve as the British regent twice to handle government affairs.
In fact, in 1788, George III also had an illness, but unlike history, this time the onset was very short-lived, only a week later, His Majesty recovered, so it did not cause turmoil in England.
George III's illness was several years earlier than the original history, and it can be seen that the cause of the Prussians is completely obvious, after all, it has to be said that the series of events between England and Prussia are indeed very nerve-wracking.
Augustus and his brothers stood in front of George III's couch, who had been forced to be pressed on the bed by his attendants, and although his sons stood beside him and shouted loudly, it had no effect at all.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Pitt Jr. had a sad look on his face.
In the current situation, there is no doubt that Britain needs a backbone, but how can the current appearance of George III be a backbone, and little Pete looked at the back of Augustus standing in front of him, and his heart was worried about the future of himself and Britain.
The reason why Pitt Jr. was able to become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom in his early twenties and entrenched himself on this throne is because of George III, the king is Pitt's staunchest supporter.
But unlike George III, the British crown prince Augustus was closer to the Whigs represented by Fox, and for the Tories represented by Pitt Jr., Augustus did not have any favorable attitude towards them at all.
And in the original history, during Augustus' tenure as regent of England.
Pitt Jr. was indeed removed from the position of Prime Minister of the British government, and it was only after George III woke up that Pitt Jr. was reinstated for a time.
The Crown Prince's leanings worried Pitt Jr.
George III's illness came quickly, and the troubles it caused in British politics were just beginning.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, according to the laws of the Kingdom of Great Britain.
Now that His Majesty is delirious and unable to manage the government, please be able to temporarily handle political affairs on behalf of His Majesty!
” A Whig said as he followed Augustus.
The Whig was also a member of the current Cabinet, otherwise he wouldn't have been here.
Although Pitt Jr. is a Tory Party, and most of the positions in the cabinet he formed are also held by Tories, he faces another major force in the British government and opposition.
Little Pete also needs to be properly appeased, otherwise it will not be a big mess in the world.
And hearing the words of this cabinet member, although Augustus's heart was suddenly happy, but on his face, the crown prince still showed a look of panic and anxiety and said: "Father, I am now in a coma due to illness.
Is it too early to talk about this at this time?
I think it's better to wait!
” "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is true, the doctor has not yet reached a conclusion, and it is too early to propose that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince act as regent at this time!"
As soon as Augustus had finished humbling himself, little Pete immediately took over and said.
But after little Pete finished speaking, it was obvious that Augustus's face darkened.
There is not a crown prince who does not want to be on that throne and experience what it is like to be in the hands of the world, especially for those who are already adults.
They are more eager to be all.
In the past, although Augustus was the crown prince of the United Kingdom, he was suppressed by George III at any time, and even under the instruction of George III, the British government did not buy the crown prince very much, and this is also a major reason why the relationship between Pitt Jr. and Augustus is not harmonious.
It didn't take long for several royal physicians to recommend an old man as their representative, and walked up to these high-ranking British figures and said: "Your Highnesses and gentlemen, according to our diagnosis, His Majesty has suffered a sudden mental illness, as it stands.
His Majesty needs to recuperate for some time!
” "Then when will His Majesty recover?"
Without waiting for Augustus to speak, little Pete was the first to ask the doctor.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, this, we cannot guarantee, it may take a few days.
It's also possible that it may take a year!
” The doctor gave a very vague answer, and little Pete frowned deeply after hearing this.
His Majesty was cured of the attack six years ago in just a week, but this time it was not necessarily only a week.
"I think it's better for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to temporarily act as the agent of the state affairs, otherwise at present, there are many things in our country that need His Majesty the King to make decisions immediately, and these things cannot be delayed, so even if His Majesty the King is only in a coma for one day, I also suggest that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince handle the state affairs for the time being!"
The previous Whig member spoke again.
And Pete, who already knew that Augustus had a lot of opinions about himself, naturally immediately objected: "His Majesty's last accident was only a week ago, and I don't think the situation this time is worse than the one a few years ago, and for the time being, some state affairs can be handled by the Cabinet of the Government!
If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now the regent, then the government will have to immediately notify the local governments and friendly countries, which is really a very cumbersome process!
” Pete Jr. also has a point.
You must know that this state government is not so easy to produce, because if Augustus is allowed to act as the national government during the period when George III is in a coma, then in order to have an accident, the British government must not only inform the governments of the various regions and the governments of the colonies, but also inform foreign countries.
This is also for the smooth passage of the British decree, and this set of processes is obviously not enough time to go through a week.
Seeing that little Pete was always against him, Augustus's face became more and more ugly, and finally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince snorted coldly and said: "His Majesty is still seriously ill, what kind of noise are you making here!
This matter will be discussed tomorrow, and what we need to do now is to calm people's hearts as soon as possible!
Hold this news on for the next two days, and if His Majesty's condition does not improve within two days, then inform Parliament again!

” After saying that, Augustus no longer paid attention to the embarrassed little Pete.
In England, the regent is not so easy to set up, which requires the unanimous consent of Parliament, which means that if Augustus wants to become regent of England, then he must also be authorized by Parliament.
Historically, after George III's serious illness, Fox believed that the Prince of Wales had the absolute right to act on behalf of his sick father, but Pitt retorted that the regent should be nominated by Parliament first.
In addition, the regent's reopening without a royal address to the Diet raised questions about its acceptance, and the debate on regency was repeatedly delayed.
According to the past practice, if the king was unable to attend the opening ceremony of the National Assembly, he could appoint a commissioner to act on his behalf through the "Decree", which must be stamped with the national seal in order to have the force of law.
In order to solve the problem of parliamentary acceptance, Pitt suggested through legal assumptions that the ** official in charge of the trusteeship of the national seal did not need to consult George III, but stamped the national seal on the "Decree".
Although the actions of the ** official may be illegal, as long as the "Decree" is stamped with the national seal, it must have legal effect.
George III's second son, Prince Frederick, Duke of York, denounced Pitt's proposal as "unconstitutional and illegitimate", but the Commissioner of Parliament was appointed as recommended, and Parliament was formally reconvened in February 1789.
Immediately after the resumption of Parliament, the Government introduced the Regency Bill, which authorised the Prince of Wales as regent, but at the same time imposed a number of restrictions on the power of the regent.
The Regency Bill was passed by the House of Commons in the same month .....................................
An emissary arrived in Vienna and delivered a letter from Brandenburg to Karl's office.
This letter was sent to Vienna by Anna, and there are two main contents on it, one is a reply to Karl's request to marry Christine, and the other is that Anna wants Karl to attend Wilhelm's coronation in person.
For Christine, Karl can be said to be fascinated by Christine from the first time he saw her, after all, Christine, the princess, is not only beautiful, but also does not have the lifeless feeling of a noble lady on her body, and even the small dimples that appear when she laughs are very easy to indulge in.
Karl's hand tightened his grip on the document, and when he saw Anna tell him that Christine had fallen in love with a Brandenburg guard, Karl was eager to tear up the letter.
What are you kidding, is it possible that a dignified Habsburg son-in-law, the current de facto ruler of Austria, is not worth a guard in Brandenburg?
Fortunately, Anna then told Carl that Louise was firmly opposed to Christine's matter, and William was also very disapproving of it.
Anna's implication is that there is still hope for Carl!
And the second thing made Carl feel angry and sad at the same time.
It seems that the process of the Prussians' usurpation of the throne of the Holy Roman Empire has accelerated, which means that the imperial crown, which has been held by the Habsburgs for hundreds of years, is about to be handed over to the Prussians!
For the Habsburgs, this was a great disgrace!
Anna also expected Carl's possible emotional reaction, so in her heart, Anna persuaded Carl to be patient for the sake of the whole of Austria, and not to miss a big thing!
Although Anna was the queen of Prussia, it was undeniable that she identified with Austria.
Although the differences between the Alexander and Karl brothers directly dragged Austria into the civil war, for Anna, her feelings for her home country have never changed.
