Prince Edward, Duke of York and Albany
Prince Edward, Duke of York and Albany (Edward Augustus;〔In the ''London Gazette'', the Prince is called simply 'Prince Edward' ((16 November 1756 ); (28 June 1757 ); (18 April 1758 ); (27 October 1759 ); (1 January ); (2 February 1760 ))〕 25 March 1739 – 17 September 1767), was the younger brother of George III of the United Kingdom, the second son of Frederick, Prince of Wales, and Princess Augusta of Saxe-Gotha.
==Early life==
The young prince was baptised Edward Augustus, at Norfolk House, by The Bishop of Oxford, Thomas Secker, and his godparents were his great-uncle The King in Prussia (for whom The Duke of Queensberry stood proxy), The Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (who was represented by Lord Carnarvon), and his maternal aunt The Duchess of Saxe-Weissenfels (for whom Lady Charlotte Edwin, a daughter of the late 4th Duke of Hamilton, stood proxy).〔(Yvonne's Royalty Home Page: Royal Christenings ).

As a boy the Duke of York, with his brother, went through long hours of schooling in arithmetic, Latin, geometry, writing, religion, French, German, Greek and even dancing to be well rounded. For the future George III the young Prince Edward, Duke of York, was his only constant companion but it was Edward who was their mother’s favorite. As he grew up, quite unlike his simple and solitary brother, the Duke of York became a very popular figure in London society. Those who knew the Duke of York described him as silly, frivolous, rather a chatter-box, someone who loved a good practical joke and who did not keep the most upright company.〔http://madmonarchist.blogspot.com/2009/12/royal-profile-prince-edward-duke-of.html〕
