King George IV

=== King George IV is the father of Beatrice, Samantha, and Jefferson, as well as the King of America. He is the younger brother of Margaret, Duchess of Louisiana and elder brother of Richard, Duke of Manchester; if he had been born a generation later, it would have been his older sister who would have taken the throne, not him. ===

Early Life
King George IV at some point fell in love with a commoner, much like his daughter Beatrice would one day do. However, he chose his position and responsibility as king over young love and instead married Queen Adelaide, who he grew to love.
