The son of King George III, Prince George IV is represented as a bumbling foppish fool who spends money extravagantly (especially on impressive trousers and socks). George is excedingly stupid, unable to preform the simplist of tasks e.g. in "Nob and Nobility", it takes Prince George a week to put on a pair of trousers by himself, eventually putting them on his head. George relies heavily on Mr. E. Blackadder inseries, even while Blackadder despises George for his immense wealth and complete inability to rectify problems in his life. While George is considered "moronic" and "idiotic," he is helpful, loyal, and is aware he is not very intelligent, (describing himself as "thick as a whale omelette.") Gerorge has proven himself even more dimmer than Baldrick, as shown when he believes Balrick's insulting poem of himself, is descibing how "lovely he is", despite Mrs. Miggins insistance of the fact, while Baldrick febally attempts to cover up the truth, by pretending not to know Mrs. Miggins, through he still addresses her by name. He is comepletely reliant on Mr. E. Blackadder for support as result, often resulting in Blackadder manipulating the Prince for his own ends e.g. Blackadder often steals the Prince's socks and sells them for cash, despite pointing out only he and the prince have acess to his socks, George fails to realise Blackadder is the only one capible of stealing them, despite believing someone must

be stealing them. It is also revealed by blackadder his source of cash is asking "prince fat head for a rise", refering to the prince as his own personal bank.

Described by many of his subjects as a"fat, flatulent git", many see him as a waste of space and money. Pit the Younger's first acts as priminister involvesa failed attempt to backrupt the prince, and in one instance £5000 was given by paralament for the Prince to "drink himself to death with".

In "Duel and Duality," the final episode of the third series, after his first sexual encounter (with the Duke of Wellington's nieces), this princely incarnation of George is struck by the vengeful Wellington's cannonball and killed. George briefly awakes, believing that he may have a cigarillo case on him that deflected the blow, but when he realises that he must have left the case at home, promptly falls dead again in Baldrick 's arms.
