My dilemma is that his niece Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge was born in 1833, whereas King George IV died in 1830! Bit spooky that!
Yet we have evidence that she wore one of the type 3 sized badges in the royal collection with pride,at Royal events during her adulthood. Indeed the main photograph and painting showing her wearing the insignia is from 1893 for the wedding of her daughter May to the Duke of York.
Wearing George IV type 3, VA type 2, QV Golden Jubilee medal, Crown of India and other medals.
She was also shown wearing in painting of the wedding of the Princess Royal in 1858.
Any thoughts on how she came to have this order?
