Well, part of it, and Lord North was definitely not Hitler. Also colonialism, anti-independence, being unrepresented in Parliament, etc. Doesn't quite boil down to as neat a single term to define it but we generally know what we're getting at, antithesis of the Declaration and all that jazz.

Royalism might be the more precise term for excluding constitutional monarchy, though really the British at that time already had it, we just didn't get a say. George III wasn't totally powerless yet, he did have influence being more hawkish about it all, but yeah he wasn't a Louis XIV in that sense
