The
actual story behind that is that the US firm putting up the money to make the film (which was being transfered by the playwright, Alan Bennett, from stage to film format) insisted that the play's name 'The Madness of King George III' be changed to merely 'The Madness of King George' as, as you right point out, American audiences might ask why they hadn't seen parts 1 & 2; the allusion being a trilogy.
And this from a country which dispensed with the services of the Crown and now each corporate wannabe styles himself
Casper J Eadenstock II; pretentiousness in the extreme.
