King George IV of Great Britain commissioned architect John Nash to redesign portions of the city of London to look more imperial. These included Regent's Park and Regent Street.

When war broke out with France in 1793, George, Prince of Wales, begged his father, King George III, for a command in the army, but was refused.

It's quite ironic, as he then became Prince Regent during George III's incapacity. And of course, as you have posted in other threads, he was very artistic, once he came into his own. Have you been to the Royal  Pavillion at Brighton?

Prinny was quite artistic in a very similar way to King LudwigII of Bavaria, who built NeuSchwanstein. The Royal Pavillion in Brighton is just as over the top and was ridiculously expensive.

King George IV introduced a number of styles to England. Instead of knee breeches, he took up wearing looser trousers.     
He popularized dark colors. Dark colors were suppose to make him look slimmer.

King George IV's visit to Scotland was orchestrated by the novelist and playwright Walter Scott. The visit lasted for three weeks. It was a public relations success.
