When George was young, he was married to his college sweetheart Frances Russell, with who he had his first daughter Sarah, and after she died in childbirth he married a Japanese woman named Misuzu Midorikawa, with who he had Lynn. Lynn lived all her life in Japan and moved to England at the age of five, but Misuzu died in a car accident on the way. Now that George is single and eligible for marriage, his father, Duke Warbawn, pressures him to marry Baron Madeleine Waverly for her wealth because he's [[RichInDollarsPoorInSense in tons of debt]] for his poor financial decisions.
