On women: George IV could not officially marry the women he loved (she was a Roman Catholic), and was pushed into marrying a women he despised.
In a way it is true that George IV appointed his ministers, but he had to accept a government that commanded a majority in the House of Commons (as did his father, for that matter).

 George III of the United Kingdom: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about George III of the United Kingdom
During his reign, however, his son, the Prince of Wales, later King George IV, ruled the country as regent briefly in 1787-1788 and again from February 5, 1811 to January 29, 1820, after the king was rendered mentally incapable by illness (now thought by many to have been porphyria).
George III's reign saw the revival of two-party politics after half a century of Whig dominance of political life, the loss of most of Britain's colonies in North America, protracted war with France and the beginning of the most rapid phase of British industrialisation.
The subsequent premiership of William Pitt, the Younger[?] (1783-1801 and 1804-06) started the restoration of Britain's fortunes and the successful prosecution (largely through subsidies to European allies) of war with revolutionary and Napoleonic France (1793-1802 and 1803-1814) and the final defeat of Napoleon I in 1815.
