George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews

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.
