1 HE WAS THE LAST FOREIGN-BORN BRITISH MONARCH
George Augustus was born on 10 November 1683 to George Louis of Brunswick-Lüneberg (later George I) and his wife Sophia Dorothea of Celle in the German city of Hanover. To date, he is the last British monarch not born in Britain. His eventual successor would be his grandson, the future George III, who was born in 1738 in Norfolk House, London. Every monarch since then has been born in or around the capital, except for George VI (r1936-52), who was born at Sandringham.
2 GEORGE'S FIRST LANGUAGE WAS NOT ENGLISH… OR GERMAN
Growing up in Hanover, it is unsurprising that George's first words weren't in English. He was not expected to take the throne of Great Britain), dying without issue and the terms of the 1701 Act of Settlement meaning that his father became king.
