Before he became King in 1831, William IV, King George III grandson, was stationed in New York City and George Washington approved a plot to kidnap him.

George Washington approved a plot to kidnap him.

That's impressive, especially since Washington died in 1799, 32 years earlier.

He truly was a great man.

William IV was a son of George III, becoming king after his brother George IV. He was the uncle of Queen Victoria and thus not a direct ancestor of Queen Elizabeth II.
