Possible issue Some believe that Princess Sophia gave birth to an illegitimate son, said to have been fathered by General Thomas Garth, one of the King's equerries. General Garth's niece, Frances, was a former royal governess. At court it was said that the princess was deeply in love with the general, despite the fact he was both disfigured and significantly older than she. At the time, it was thought by some that the baby's father was actually Sophia's brother, the Duke of Cumberland, later Ernest Augustus I of Hanover. A governess is a female employee from outside of the family who teaches children within the family circle. ...
Ernest Augustus I of Hanover Ernest Augustus I, King of Hanover (5 June 1771 – 18 November 1851), also known (1799-1837) as the Duke of Cumberland, was the fifth son and eighth child of King George III of the United Kingdom and Queen Charlotte. ...
The child which some believe Sophia to have been the mother of, was born at Weymouth in August 1800. The baby, christened Thomas Garth, was raised by his father, the equerry, and had no contact with Sophia. The birth was not known to George III.
Evidence for this theory includes a letter, of 8 August 1800, from her sister Amelia to their eldest brother, the Prince of Wales, saying, "At last we have the prospect of seeing our dear Sophia restored to health very soon... She is going on well... Pray take no notice to high or low of having heard from me." (Correspondence of George Prince of Wales, edited by Arthur Aspinall, vol IV, p 150). Although in court circles the father was said to be Thomas Garth, the fact that this equerry of George III was not disgraced but promoted (see Army List volumes for 1801, 1805 and 1814) argues that he was a cover for someone more important; and that this was not a secret to the King. is the 220th day of the year (221st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

General Garth, when near death, handed the boy documents, "proofs of his parentage and of his just title to rank and fortune", as the son declared in a Court of Chancery affidavit (National Archives, manuscript C.13/939/4, 28 February 1829). The son showed some people the documents, and reports implicating the Duke of Cumberland appeared in The Times, The Observer and other Whig newspapers which were opposed to the Duke's Tory positions. One easily accessible source for detail on this is the Times Digital Archive for 1829.
There is no consensus of belief on these allegations.
