| | William IV of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | William, the third son of King George III and younger brother and successor of King George IV, was the penultimate monarch of the House of Hanover. |
 | | As the new King had no surviving legitimate children (his daughter, Princess Charlotte, died in childbirth in 1817), the Duke of Clarence was second in the line of succession to the Throne, preceded by his brother, Frederick, Duke of York. |
 | | Although William IV had no legitimate children, and is, therefore, not the direct ancestor of the later monarchs of the United Kingdom, he has many descendants through his illegitimate family with Mrs Jordan, including the man elected as leader of the Conservative Party in 2005, David Cameron. |
