The pair welcomed 15 children together, 13 of whom reached adulthood. They also shared a love of music and are to have joined the royal band in regular jam sessions, with both playing the harpsichord and George also picking up the flute.The royal family's history of George III attributes the many bouts of illness he experienced throughout his life to the stress of the Revolutionary War and to"family anxieties."
