Jerzy III Hanowerski: Cytaty po angielsku
“Nothing important happened today.”
It is widely believed that George III wrote this in his diary on July 4, 1776, the day the American Revolution began. In fact, this was made up by the scriptwriters of the series The X Files, as George III did not write a diary.
