The Prince Regent

The Prince Regent refers to George, the son of King George III of England, who served as regent from 1811 to 1820 when his father’s mental health prevented him from ruling. During this period, George acted as the de facto monarch, overseeing government affairs while his father remained king in name. The title "Prince Regent" indicates his role as a temporary substitute for the king, and his reign was marked by significant political and social changes in Britain, including the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the beginning of the Regency era, known for its distinctive culture and fashion.
