...George Ill's gracious acceptance of credentials from John Adams, the fledgling nation's first minister to London, in 1785. Fittingly, the monarch's words on that occasion ("Let the circumstances of language, religion and blood have their natural and full effect") were tape-recorded for the show by his great-great-great-great-great-grandson, Prince Charles...
