Answer
George Grenville’s major political downfall was due to strained relations with King George III and his colleagues in Parliament. Grenville’s attempts to assert parliamentary control over the royal prerogative led to a breakdown in relations with the King, and his attempts to introduce unpopular financial measures led to a rebellion in Parliament. Grenville was eventually forced to resign as Prime Minister in 1763.
