Background info:

In late 1810, at the height of his popularity^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_III_of_the_United_Kingdom#cite_note-102} but already virtually blind with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataract and in pain from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheumatism, George III became dangerously ill. In his view the malady had been triggered by the stress he suffered at the death of his youngest and favourite daughter, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Princess_Amelia_of_the_United_Kingdom.^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_III_of_the_United_Kingdom#cite_note-103} The Princess's nurse reported that "the scenes of distress and crying every day ... were melancholy beyond description."^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_III_of_the_United_Kingdom#cite_note-104} He accepted the need for the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regency_Acts#Care_of_King_During_his_Illness.2C_etc._Act_1811,^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_III_of_the_United_Kingdom#cite_note-105} and the Prince of Wales acted as Regent for the remainder of George III's life. Despite signs of a recovery in May 1811, by the end of the year George had become permanently insane and lived in seclusion at Windsor Castle until his death.^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_III_of_the_United_Kingdom#cite_note-106}
