I disagree with your description of George III as an absolute monarch. He was a model constitutional monarch. He gave his assent to every Act passed by parliament. When George III was Prince of Wales he wrote an essay against slavery. If you want villains, you will need to look elsewhere.

Obviously, a person with multiple personalities. But that was then, this is now. We must face present facts, and the truths they tenaciously validate. That is the difficult part, due to emotional intelligence being at, perhaps, an all time low. There is a TV station near me that has the anchor stating, in an ad for the station, that they only dig for the best facts they can validate, but they are not in the business of 'truth.' They leave that up to the listeners. This is classic, laissez faire dualism. Hear or see facts, and then do what you want with them. Is this how critical thinking is now taught? Cranial and endocrine-based emotions cannot be mixed in with vetted factual information. As you point out, that king, when a prince, wrote publicly against slavery. How did he decide that was the correct conclusion? Facts must substantiate truths, or they are not really facts.
George III was like his successors, In the thrall of the real powers, that wielded power via the House of Lords through the East India Company and the Bank of England.
The Bank of England is the real sovereign today. When the King visits the City, as the Financial District of London is called, he must make an appointment, shows up in street clothes and is met by he Lord Mayor bedecked in jewels, and ermine.
The Bank became the Sovereign when Charles II gave up the symbols of sovereignty for collateral on a loan and never paid them back. The symbols are the Crown, the Orb and the scepter.
It was . Charles Townshend, Chancellor of the Exchequer (England) whose policies of money and taxation led to the American Revolution
It always is as you say with the psychopath class of narcissists. The Wizard of Oz made this clear in the 'murka that most Europeans would never understand. Mostly illiterate peasants working dry land to scratch out a living, while being under the thumb of marauding bands of corporate cowboys stealing everything, burning, looting, raping, killing livestock and horses. This sorry ass play acting of foppish fools with glitz and hidden trillions in jewels, precious metals, stocks, bonds, bearer bonds, ancient land deeds, water rights, forest rights, mining rights is never known by most, but this is where the power lies, and it is protected by its silence and its camouflage.
George III had to serve as a constitutional monarch, and he couldn’t act on his own volition without the advice and consent of Parliament. James II refused to learn from the experience of the English civil war and his father’s execution, and he tried to govern without the participation of Parliament. He soon found himself ousted and living in exile as a permanent guest of his cousin, the absolutist Louis XIV.

Mick see my response to Chris. Even Henry VIII and Elizabeth were manipulated by the House of Lords and the nobility.
Where yanking their broadcast license is censorship & insisting on “facts” in the news infringes their free speech. Thru the looking glass we go.

Parliament presents the king provides.
Love this. You should write a novel.
Thanks Susan, don't have the time or inclination, besides nobody reads books anymore and the last thing I want is notoriety or publicity.

He was also nutsy koo koo.
Nutsy koo koo makes him all that much easier to manipulate. We have a prime example at hand
True. But at least he wasn't a slave driver.
That should be the lead news story --
"President Trump issued fourteen (14) nutsy koo koo orders today....."
