Princely Advice for a Happy Life - Alexi Lubomirski
INTRODUCTION
I was born to a Peruvian-English mother and a Polish French father in London, England. My childhood was spent between England and Botswana with my mother and English stepfather. At the age of eleven, I was informed of my father’s and therefore my title. The title of prince.
It was a title that stretched back over half a millennium. Yet after two world wars and the rise of communism had lost centuries of art, land, palaces, and family treasures. It was a title with no material evidence but a wealth of history.
So what is this title’s meaning now? How was I to wear this royal badge? As the sole male heir of my family’s line, how was I to fulfill my duty to honor my ancestors’ accomplishments and carry this title for my descendents?
It is in you,
my mother told me. If you are to be a prince in today’s world, you have to be a prince in your heart and in your actions.
Now I have two sons. When I tell them of their title, what relevance will it hold for them today?
How should they carry this banner? There are no lands to conquer, no borders to protect, and no treasures to manage. Their wealth lies in their actions, and their legacy will be the manner in which they choose to live their lives.
Dear Sons………… Be chivalrous at all times.
Stand up
when introduced to women.
Open doors for them,
help carry their belongings,
and protect them from harm.
Create your own kingdom and empire.
You may be born into palaces
or born on the street,
but it is up to you
to create your own life.
