{{Infobox British Royalty|royal|consort| name = Prince George| title = Duke of Cumberland| image = Georgeofdenmark.JPG| reign = 8 March 1702 – 28 October 1708| issue = [Prince William, Duke of Gloucester| father = [Frederick III of Denmark| date of birth = | place of birth = [Copenhagen, Denmark, [London, [London [1653 – 28 October 1708) was the prince consort of Anne of Great Britain.

He was born Jørgen, in Copenhagen, a son of Frederick III of Denmark. Jørgen was considered a suitable partner for Anne, Denmark being, like Britain, a Protestant country; at that time, it was not considered likely that Anne would become Queen. They were married on July 28, 1683, at St. James's Palace, London. Called George in England, the prince was subsequently created a British subject and a Knight of the Garter, and was created Duke of Cumberland, Earl of Kendal and Baron Wokingham.

His marriage to Anne was successful, although from 18 pregnancies between 1684 and 1700 only one son, William, Duke of Gloucester, survived infancy, only to die of smallpox in 1700 at the age of 11. As with many other members of the royals and nobility, this low birth rate and poor infant survival rate is fairly strong evidence that Prince George suffered from syphilis.

The social and political grouping centred on Prince George and Princess Anne was known as the "Cockpit Circle" after the Cockpit, their London residence (on the site of what is now Downing Street in Westminster). Anne's older sister Mary (later Mary II of England) had moved to the Netherlands after her marriage to William III of England; Protestant opposition to James was therefore increasingly focused on Anne and George instead of Mary, the heir presumptive. In 1688 the decision of William, Mary, George and Anne to desert the embattled James II of England was instrumental in whittling away the king's legitimacy and paved the way for the Glorious Revolution of 1689, which was led by William and supported by George, at the nominal head of the Lord High Admiral's Regiment, disbanded the following year. The Holland Regiment took its place as 3rd Regiment of Foot with Prince George as its honorary colonel.

William had apparently refused to attend James II's coronation in 1685 because George, as a senior member of a European royal family, would outrank him as elected stadholder of a republic; this mistrust was overcome during the revolution of 1688-89 but dogged relations between George and William during the latter's reign. Some degree of reconciliation was achieved on Queen Mary's sudden and unexpected death from smallpox in 1694; but George did not play a senior role in government until his wife Anne succeeded William in 1702.

George was an able administrator and military strategist, and as Lord High Admiral, 1702 - 08, officially headed the Royal Navy in support of the military activities of Anne's favourite, the Captain-General Lord John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough. On George's death in 1708, Anne was disconsolate, and although she refused initially to put the Navy into commission she was unable to bring herself to sign papers in George's stead.

Charles II of England, Anne's uncle, famously said of Prince George, on the occasion of his marriage to Anne, "I have tried him drunk, and I have tried him sober; and there is nothing in him". He was not seen as one of the most colourful political characters of his day, but he was a skilled strategist and an able administrator, and a loyal and supportive husband to Queen Anne. By all accounts their marriage was a devoted and loving one in spite of their earlier personal tragedies.

His official portrait, signed by Sir Godfrey Kneller, is at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London. Titles, styles, honours and arms Titles

George I of Greece is also sometimes known as "Prince George of Denmark" (1845-1913), in a confusion of his regnal name, George, and his pre-regnal title, Prince William of Denmark. He was the brother of Alexandra of Denmark, consort of Edward VII of the United Kingdom.
