Goodbye ‘Farmer George’: the life and death of George III
This is a legacy story from an earlier version of our website. It may contain some formatting issues and broken links.
We often talk about the life of George IV who built the Royal Pavilion but seldom mention his father. Clare Hartfield looks at the life of George III and why his nickname of ‘Farmer George’ marks such a contrast with his son.
When George III died in 1820 he had been king for almost sixty years. Only Queen Victoria and our current Queen Elizabeth II have reigned in the UK for longer.
George III by Joshua Reynolds, c1765
George III was the third reigning monarch of the house of Hanover, but even though this was a German royal family, George was born in Britain, spoke English as his first language and never visited Hanover. Unlike his predecessors, he was very much viewed as a British king through and through.

The Family behind “King Family Ranch”
Sean and I were both raised around farm animals and they have always been a part of our lives. Sean spent a lot of time on his grandma’s farm and helping out where he could. His Grandma raised horses, cows and some dogs but most impressively she built her own house in Northern California. I grew up in Northern Minnesota with every farm animal under the sun and was the oldest of 13 children. My summer days were spent training horses and driving tractors. From early spring through late fall I enjoyed helping my dad and grandpa put up the hay and combine the grain. In the winter and early spring I enjoyed the physically exhausting task of delivering calves and other farm animals… it meant many sleepless nights but it also meant a warm barn, cozy mittens, and hot cocoa by a warm fire. Best of all we got to witness the miracle of life! I learned many life lessons while spending quality time with my Dad and Grandpa on the farm and I loved the ranch life but I knew I needed to spread my own wings.
