Horrible Histories: George IV is Fat In this comedic and educational clip from "Horrible Histories," we delve into the historical figure of King George IV, humorously portrayed as a man more concerned with his appearance than the gravity of ascension to the throne. The sketch starts with an amusing take on his lengthy wait to become king due to his father, George III, living until the age of 81. The characterization of George IV expresses both vanity and indifference towards expected expressions of grief upon his father's passing. Instead of shedding tears, he reveals excitement akin to celebrating Christmas, highlighting his prioritization of personal image over familial duty. A standout moment features the King discussing his physical appearance, joking about the padding in his trousers, and admitting to wearing a corset, which adds a layer of comical insight into the fashion of the time. The humor escalates with the mention of his nickname, "the Prince of Whales," which nods at his obesity and cheekily plays with the connotations of the term. This clever mix of fact and humor serves not only to entertain but also to educate viewers about the quirks of historical figures in a way that is accessible and engaging.
