One of George III’s sons, Prince Adolphus, The Duke of Cambridge (1774-1850), became very deaf in his old age and always sat right in the front of church, where the whole congregation could see him. Unfortunately he couldn't help drawing attention to himself as he loudly provided a running commentary on the service. For instance “Let us pray” got an amiable “By all means” from the duke. Or in response to a prayer for rain, he declared “amen, but you won't get it till the wind changes.”
