What did King George III do during the enlightenment?
Everything he did!
"There is little consensus on when to date the start of the age of Enlightenment and some scholars simply use the beginning of the 18th century or the middle of the 18th century as a default date.[7] ...As to its end, some scholars use the French Revolution of 1789 or the beginning of the Napoleonic Wars (1804-15) as a convenient point in time with which to date the end of the Enlightenment.[8]"
Note that "18th century" means 1700s, the time of his reign.
KGIII died in 1820, but his son had been acting as regent for some years by then. So, everything he did, he did during the enlightenment...
What are all the ranks in England?
The highest rank of nobility in Great Britain is that of Sovereign, meaning King or Queen Regnant. Queen Elizabeth II is the ruling monarch of Britain, and therefore holds this position. The Queen is addressed as "Her/Your Royal Majesty," abbreviated to HRM in writing.
The next-highest rank is the Sovereign's Consort, in this case Prince Philip. Typically, the Consort is the wife of the King, therefore becoming the Queen Consort (different from Queen Regnant). A Queen Consort is addressed as "Her/Your Royal Majesty," the same as a King or Queen Regnant; however, Prince Philip is addressed as "His/Your Royal Highness," in keeping with his title of Prince.
Prince/Princess, the next rank, refers to many members of the Royal Family. Certain members "outrank" other members based on order of succession to the throne (the Prince of Wales is next-in-line, and as such is given precedence over all other Family members except Her Majesty and Prince Philip, his father). Princes and Princesses are addressed as "His/Her/Your Royal Highness."
The remaining ranks are listed below in order of precedence.
Duke/Duchess
Marquess/Marchioness
Earl/Countess
Viscount/Viscountess
Baron/Baroness
Baronet/Baronetess
Knight/Dame
It is important to note that Princes in Britain are normally given a ducal title upon marriage. However, instead of being addressed as "Your Grace" (as is traditional for Dukes and Duchesses), they are still addressed as "Your Royal Highness," because their status as a Prince or Princess outranks their given title of Duke or Duchess.
Dukes, Marquesses, and Earls are typically addressed as "Your Grace." Viscounts and Barons are typically addressed as "Lord" or "Lady," or "Your Lordship/Ladyship" in direct conversation. Baronets and Knights are addressed as "Sir" or "Lady" (or "Dame" for a woman granted a Knighthood or Baronetcy, but not for the wife of a Knight or Baronet).

Will there ever be both a king and queen of England?
Technically, the answer to this question is no, because the title king (or queen) of England no longer exists. The current monarch, Elizabeth II, is queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Under the heredity system, when monarch dies the eldest son (or if deceased, his eldest surviving son) becomes king and his wife is given the title of queen. If there are no surviving males the eldest daughter is crowned queen and her husband is given the title of prince.
The present heir to the throne, Prince Charles, will become king when his mother dies, but it is unlikely that his wife, Camilla, will be given the title of queen (this is a complex political matter because they were both divorced). However, assuming that the monarchy continues, there is no reason why in the future there could not be a king and queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
