Because he died before his father did.
George II's oldest son Frederick died before him, so Frederick oldest son became King George III immediately after his grandfather.
King George III's brother, Frederick, Duke of York, did not become king because he predeceased George III. Frederick died in 1827, while George III passed away in 1820. Following George III's death, the throne passed to his eldest son, George IV. As a result, the line of succession continued through George III's direct descendants rather than his siblings.
Six British Kings have been called George. The most recent was the father of Queen Elizabeth II. He was born on 14th December 1895, as Albert Frederick Arthur George. He was the second son of George V.
George Frederick Ernest Albert, the second son of King Edward VII, was born on 3 June 1865. He became King George V on 6 May 1910 and reigned until his death on 20 January 1936.

His Son George IV.
George III (1738-1820) was succeeded by his eldest son George IV (1762-1830). Since George IV had no surviving children the throne passed to his younger brother, the third son of George III, William IV (1765-1837). George III's second son died before he inherited the throne. He was Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany (1763-1827).
The children of King George II of Great Britain did not succeed him primarily because his son, Frederick, Prince of Wales, died in 1751 before he could ascend the throne. George II's other children, including his daughter, Anne, and his younger son, William, held no claim to the throne as they were not the direct heirs. Upon George II's death in 1760, the crown passed to his grandson, George III, as Frederick had predeceased him.
king George the II was king George the III's father No, George II was his GRANDFATHER. His father was the Prince of Wales and died before becoming King so George as the oldest son became heir to the throne and eventually George III (which explains his long rein as he was young when he became King on his grandfather's death).
George, the second son of Edward VII and Alexandra of Denmark, was born at Marlborough House on 3rd June, 1865. Most of his childhood was spent at Sandringham, Buckingham Palace and Balmoral.
