According to Wikipedia: "Only the first-born son can be definitively attributed to Lord Melbourne due to his wife's many affairs. George is reputed to be the son of George IV, with William and Emily allegedly fathered by Lord Egremont." Source is book by Lord David Cecil, 'Melbourne' 1954 edition pages 36 and 37[1]
