YES!!!!

The King was King George (III) .

However, he was incapacitated, and unable to conduct the affairs of state.

As a consequence, between the heir to the throne , Prince of Wales, and the government of the day, the Prince of Wales was appointment 'Prince Regent' , in order to conduct the affairs of state.

The period between 1812 and 1820 is known as the Regency Period.

In 1820 King George (III) died , and the Prince Regent ascended the throne as King George (IV).

NB

King George(III) was nicknamed ' Farmer George' , because of his keen interest in matters agricultural.

King George (IV) was nicknamed 'Prinny' because of his excessive and grotesque habits. He made an illegal marriage to a Mrs. Fitzherbert , an Irish Catholic Lady. Thereby he left no legitimate heir to the throne, and was suceded by his brother.

King William (IV), was the brother. He was nicknamed 'Sailor Bill', because his professional life was in the Royal Navy. Again he never married , and left no legitimate heir. He was suceded by his next younger brother's daughter, Queen Victoria.
