Alexander Windsor, Earl of Ulster

Alexander Windsor, Earl of Ulster, is a reminder to me of how much of royal life happens quietly off-stage. The only son of the Duke of Gloucester and heir apparent to that dukedom, he's a second cousin of Charles III, yet he's spent his career as military personnel rather than chasing headlines. Eton-educated and sometimes simply called Alex Ulster, he occupies that low-profile tier of the family that does duty without celebrity. I find that restraint quietly admirable. In an age where proximity to a crown is so easily monetised, choosing service and relative anonymity feels like its own kind of statement.

Alexander Patrick Gregers Richard Windsor, Earl of Ulster (born 24 October 1974), is a member of the British royal family and the only son of Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, and Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester. He is the heir apparent to the dukedom of Gloucester and is the second cousin of Charles III. He is also sometimes referred to as Alex Ulster.
