King George IV of the United Kingdom Aug. 12th, 1762 - June 26th, 1830.
George IV was “a magnificent patron of the arts … the most extraordinary compound of talent, wit, buffoonery, obstinacy, and good feeling—in short a medley of the most opposite qualities, with a great preponderance of good—that I ever saw in any character in my life.” - Arthur Wellesley, Duke of Wellington.
O’, dear miss, you must be so scared to have a serpent in there! Do try not to get bitten - their bites are said to be deadly.
No no, Ma'am, I find myself quite sane - the expression is far more fitting for His Majesty. You see I am still very capable of using words to communicate, unlike you it seems, dear Miss.
O’, dear miss, you must be so scared to have a serpent in there! Do try not to get bitten - their bites are said to be deadly.
Hate to say it but the prince has replaced your...'role'
My dear anonymous correspondent,
Whatever could you mean? I have always been His Highness very good friend, and he has always been a most treasured friend of mine. If you refer to my supposedly being his maîtresse-en-titre, O’ how mistaken you are. That title belongs to Mrs. Fitzherbert, not myself! - Yours, etc etc, Ldy. J.
Dear Ms, have you seen His Highness as of late? I have supposed he is away in Bath, and as you are indisposed to serve as companion I have considers aiding you, dear Madame, in becoming his companion on the purest grounds of a longstanding friendship - though, I have been curious as to wether you know anything of the Prince's condition. - Ldy. J.
Upon eyeing the letter, Maria laid it down before after -some brief but unnecessary- consideration, throwing it in the nearby crackling fire, instantly igniting it once more. "Ma? Who was that?" A high and curious voice piped up as the small figure hesitantly entered the room. Putting on an undetected forced smile, Mrs Fitzherbert replied, "no one of any importance my dear...come.." Embracing her young ward the anxiety and disappointment prominent in her mind. What had the Prince done now...
Oh, my dear Madam? How are your spirits? If it is worry for the Prince's well-being you feel then I can relieve you from it, dear madam, as I have just come from those parts we both so hold dear to inform you of His Highness' happiness and provided comfort my friendship grants him. - Lady J.
Upon examining the piece of paper she had just received, Maria felt her heart sink. Sadly, the woman could not cast doubt on the lady's words, after all, she was 'good friends' with the Prince... In the meantime herself and the prince had surely drifted apart over the recent months, but Mrs. Fitzherbert was careful not to submit herself to any further embarrassment nor to pain. And so with a light but shaken sigh, full of disappointment and anger, she took to the pen.'My dear Lady Jersey' the letter began politely as ever, 'my spirits are well and are of no concern nor consequence, I am glad however to hear that @babe-regent is well and too yourself.' Maria hesitated for a moment, contemplating if what she was to do was correct.'I myself and dear little Minney are returning once more to Tilney Street and finally Brighton as the girl is in need of the sea air' Although riddled with lies -of which Maria was almost ashamed of- the letter was signed and dated and cast off almost as quickly as it had been written.Casting one more look around her apartment of Carlton House, the woman took her head into her hands, wishing she had not chosen such a life.

An art that is impossible not to do..
your husband has been making eyes at a fat dowager all evening!!!
'Fat' is not exactly the word I would use in such a situation, yet I fear a closer one may not be expressed in such 'polite' society as this. If His Highness should wish to take pleasure in looking other women down I shan't hold it against him, but acting upon it, well... then we shall see hm?
For the mun - Who are your top five favorite roleplayers?
( OOC: You are asking me to be partial, to place some above others, when doing so isonly likely to cause offence? I feel faint at the very idea! I will give youthe names of the five accounts I most often roleplaywith, as though their characters were at dinner with mine:
@hm-george-iii has been gentlybut forcibly removed from the dinner table by particularly handsome, good-natured,and unmarried equerries and is currently distracting the other guests by screaming forhis lost peacocks from an antechamber while his wife tries to make stilted conversation. @princess-charlotte-of-wales,that curly-haired scamp, is refusing to eat her apple tart, hiding a puppyunder the table, and somehow – through sheer childish optimism – resisting slowlydying inside. @luckycaptainaubrey isa half-cut, well-seasoned raconteur on his second helping of apple tart and hisfourth glass of champagne and is somehow successfully concealing several loversunder the table (no doubt a trick he learned in the service). @pss-madeleine-of-prussia is too busy dispensing charity to Prussian orphans to attendthe dinner but nevertheless sends her best wishes and heartfelt regards. And @ask-maria-fitzherbert - a kind,exemplary woman who has the misfortune to love a fickle, self-absorbed prince - has eatenonly half her apple tart because she has a headache named Lady Jersey.
Mentions also go to @0-princess-amelia-0, although she isProbably Dying in Weymouth, and @devonshire-house-set,whose mun is still figuring things out.
And, having said that I must, most of all, acknowledge The Person (or persons?) responsible for sending mocking, bizarre, often raving, and highly indignant messages from Prince George’s estranged wife, PrincessCaroline. I don’t know who you are, or how many of you there are, but youactually terrify me, for I suspect you are legion. )
