My Take
George Windsor interests me precisely because he chose the unglamorous lane of royalty. Born into the extended British royal family, he could have coasted on title alone; instead he studied at Cambridge, served as a working diplomat in New York and Budapest, and now puts his name behind universities, foundations, and a Welsh orchestra. There is something quietly admirable about an aristocrat who treats privilege as an obligation rather than a stage. He will never dominate headlines the way his more famous relatives do, and I suspect that suits him fine — to me, that restraint is the most aristocratic thing about him.
