So all the existing children of George III, of whom there were twelve living at that time, there had been fifteen, all who were in irregular unions, they were either with mistresses or they had illegitimate children or they were married to people who were not of royal blood, so there was an absolute panic for everybody to acquire a legitimate wife and acquire a legitimate child who could be heir to the Throne of England.
