Answer
In 1799, George III's declining mental health led to the appointment of his eldest son, John, as prince regent. John assumed many of the monarch's duties and powers, except for the formal title and certain ceremonial functions. He grappled with domestic challenges, including the Napoleonic Wars and economic hardships. The Regency lasted until 1820 when George III passed away, and John became King John IV.
