Frequently asked questions

What is The Madness of King George about? Toggle content

The Madness of King George is a historical drama film that tells the story of King George III's bout of madness in 1788 and the power struggle that ensued between factions of Parliament. The film explores the King's eccentric behavior, which becomes increasingly erratic and hypersexual, and his devotion to his wife, Queen Charlotte, and their large family. The King's son, George, Prince of Wales, exploits his father's condition to advance his own political agenda, while Queen Charlotte and Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger attempt to prevent the Prince from usurping the throne. The film also delves into the medical practices of the time, as the King is treated by various physicians, including the unorthodox Dr. Francis Willis. The film culminates in a dramatic showdown between the King and his son, with the King ultimately regaining his senses and thwarting the Regency Bill.
