King George III Was A Weird Guy

King George III is one of the most misunderstood monarchs in British history. In this deep-dive documentary, we explore the hidden side of the "Mad King": his lonely childhood at Kew, his obsession with being the perfect ruler, the American Revolution that broke him, the mysterious illness that doctors couldn't cure, the years of "madness" when he believed he was made of glass and talked to oak trees in Windsor Great Park, and the final decade locked away while his son ruled as Prince Regent.
