In the Netflix series "Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story," King George III struggles with his mental health. He disappears on his wedding night, leaving his wife, Charlotte, alone and confused. He was moved from Windsor Palace to Kew Palace, where he was subjected to harsh treatments. His son, George IV, became regent while he was ill. The series does not explicitly state what mental illness King George III had, but it is based on the real monarchs illness, which has been debated by historians. The series depicts the king struggling with a mental disorder and the weight of the crown. The king only hallucinates when he is nervous and under significant pressure. The show includes some pretty horrific scenes of Georges "treatment" at the hands of Dr. Monro, which border on torture. The series does not grant the king an ahistorical "cure": as we already know from the previous Bridgerton seasons, his condition only worsens over time.
