Hermann Leiningen, Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션84, goes about his day much as we all do. He takes public transit every morning to his job as Managing Director of RBC Global Asset and Management. He spends time with his family. He enjoys sports; he travels as much as he can, and he likes to keep up with the Toronto Maple Leafs. What makes his day different is this: every day, he can choose to take a minute and check his position in line to the British throne.
As it turns out, Hermann is properly His Serene Highness, Prince Hermann Friedrich Fernando Roland zu Leiningen (and at the time of this writing, 131st in line for the British throne). Through his mother, he is the great-grandson of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy and King Louis Philippe I of France and through his father, Hermann is a direct descendant of Queen Victoria and Tzar Alexander II of Russia. An even more direct royal bloodline is through his late grandfather, King Boris III of Bulgaria who is famous for having helped to save the lives of his country카지노 게임 컬렉션s 50,000 Jews from being killed in the Nazi Holocaust.
카지노 게임 컬렉션My North American upbringing was similar to that of most children, with school, sports and friends being the big focus. We were always told not to advertise our background but to be proud of it, and only to talk about it if someone asked. We never thought it was important for people to know,카지노 게임 컬렉션 Hermann says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션In fact, there are many people I have known for many years that still don카지노 게임 컬렉션t know.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Reflecting on his royal heritage, Hermann says 카지노 게임 컬렉션I was very fortunate to be able to spend every summer of my life in Europe, visiting uncles, aunts and cousins with my brothers and sister and now with my own family.카지노 게임 컬렉션 He adds: 카지노 게임 컬렉션It just so happened that these relatives were members of the royal families of most countries in Europe including Bulgaria, Spain, Italy, Russia, Germany, England, Yugoslavia and Austria. When the summer was over, it was back to school in North America.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Still, despite the lineage, Hermann says Queen Victoria did not influence his decision to come to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. 카지노 게임 컬렉션None of my friends at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s had any idea of my family tree. Since then, I must admit, I have enjoyed knowing the influence Queen Victoria has had on Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s and Canada.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Someone who may have had a greater influence on his experience at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is Hermann카지노 게임 컬렉션s godfather, the Right Honourable Roland Michener. Michener was the 20th Governor General of Canada, and the Chancellor of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, 1973-1980.
While Hermann has many good memories of his time as a student, the biggest highlight was meeting his wife. 카지노 게임 컬렉션My wife Deborah (Cully), Artsci카지노 게임 컬렉션84, and I met for the first time at a dance in Leonard Hall, just a few weeks into our frosh year.카지노 게임 컬렉션
The family카지노 게임 컬렉션s connection to the university doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션t stop there. Hermann is a member of the Grant Hall Society (Limestone level), and daughters Tatiana and Nadia are both students of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. Tatiana is an Art History major who has studied at the Bader International Study Centre at Herstmonceux Castle, and is currently completing an International Studies Certificate. Her younger sister Nadia is a Drama major. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Our youngest daughter Alexa starts high school this year. There is clearly no pressure to have her attend the school that her parents and two sisters attended (and the school her great-great-great-grandmother established by Royal Charter in 1841).카지노 게임 컬렉션
So what does a prince do in his spare time? 카지노 게임 컬렉션We enjoy spending our spare time with our children as we did on Canada Day when we watched Nadia and the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Barefoot Players perform in Centennial Park in Bath, Ontario.카지노 게임 컬렉션
