  George Townsend, 4th Viscount Townsend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He was appointed governor to the prince of Wales, afterwards George III, in 1751; and after the accession of the latter to the throne he was appointed, in 1761, special ambassador to Mecklenburg-Strelitz to negotiate a marriage between King George and the princess Charlotte, whom he conducted to England.
His proposal to impose a tax of 10% on the rents of absentee landlords had to be abandoned owing to opposition in England; but he succeeded in conciliating the leaders of Opposition in Ireland, and he persuaded Henry Flood to accept office in the government.

A few months later, King George V issued Letters Patent on 30 October 1917 which limited the title 'Prince' and the style 'Royal Highness' to the children of a sovereign, the children of sons of a sovereign and the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales.

In the early years of George III, the papers suggest that factional and political interests were beginning to interfere with the passage of routine business.

Grandson to the 2nd Duke of Grafton, who served as Lord Chamberlain under both George I and George II, the 3rd Duke was six years old when his father, the Duke's third son, Fitzroy Augustus died prematurely.
His uncle, George, the Earl of Euston and heir to the ducal title, and an acknowledged scapegrace, also died young, at the age of 32, leaving Augustus Henry heir to the title and fortune.
His premiership was a disaster, coming at a critical juncture in the relationship between England and her American colonies, and guidance from the ill and absent Chatham was lacking.
