Brass-Barrelled Flintlock Holster Pistol by Heylin 1770

Another product made by Joseph Heylin with silver mountings hallmarked by John King too. The thumbplates show a monogram "G.G.v.C." under the royal English crown, but until today it was impossible to find out, to whom of the Royal Family this monogram once belonged. Because of the "v." - the German "von" instead of an English "of" - the monogram is certainly a German one but who was it?
