Frederick

Frederick was a prince and heir-apparent to the kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland.


History

George I intervened severely in the raising of his grandchildren, to which Frederick was no exception. He was notably addressed and styled as prince of Hanover despite his father's investiture as prince of Wales.

After George I died in 1727, George II succeeded; Frederick in turn became prince of Wales and moved to London from Hanover. He became a patron of oppositional politicians.

Frederick died in 1751, leaving his son George to become heir-apparent and prince of Wales.
