Prince Ernst August of Hanover

Prince Ernst August of Hanover is a fascinating reminder of how Europe's old aristocracy reinvents itself. Born in Hildesheim in 1983, he's the eldest child of the head of the ancient House of Hanover, a dynasty that once ruled the Kingdom of Hanover and even reigned over Great Britain until 1901. What I find telling is that rather than living purely off lineage, he was educated at Malvern College and went into finance as an investment banker. There's something modern about a hereditary prince making his name in the markets. The weight of that history must be both an asset and a burden.
