Frederick Louis (1707-1751), Prince of Wales, 18th century (1912). Prince Frederick was the eldest son of George II. He was born into the House of Hanover and, under the Act of Settlement passed by the English Parliament in 1701, was in the direct line of succession to the British throne. He moved to Great Britain following the accession of his father and became the Prince of Wales. He predeceased his father however, and the throne, upon the death of George II in 1760, passed to Prince Frederick's eldest son, George, Prince of Wales, who reigned as King George III from 1760 until 1820.
