Deja vu all over again - No Kings

From Paul Johnson's Birth of the Modern page 444-445

 But George IV, no doubt because as heir apparent he had been more indulged and flattered than his brothers, was by common consent the worst of the lot. His instinct was always to desert and betray. 

Men disliked him particularly because he was an inveterate liar. Indeed he was a fantasist who could convince himself that certain imaginary things had happened

One collateral reason why men disliked George IV was that he was very much a ladies’ man, always surrounded by petticoats.

The fact that George preferred female company did not mean that ladies liked him; quite the contrary. Outside his own family, all the women with whom he was intimately connected came to regret it. 

As with all the grandest architectural schemes, George IV’s plan to transform and beautify London was not exactly carried through as he intended, and he was particularly unlucky with the palaces he built or altered.
