George II receiving news of his father's death from Walpole, 1727. Although the title was never used to refer to him at the time, Sir Robert Walpole (1676-1745) is regarded as Britain's first Prime Minister. His administration lasted from 1721 until he resigned in 1742, longer than that of any Prime Minister since.
