July 22, 2013 is marked by a significant event in the British royal family - the birth of Prince George of Wessex. Born to Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, George is the grandson of Prince Edward and great-grandson of Queen Elizabeth II.
Though born into the royal family, George chooses to live a relatively private life. He is educated at Eton College and goes on to study history and literature at the University of Oxford. Unlike many of his relatives, George does not hold an official role in the royal family or participate in public service or charity work.
Instead, George focuses on his love of history, literature, and music, and is known to attend cultural events and festivals. He marries Emily Kirtley, a fellow student at Oxford, in 2017 and the couple lives quietly in the Oxfordshire countryside. George and Emily have no children.
On September 12, 2070, George passes away from a rare heart condition at the age of 56. His funeral service is attended by close family and friends only. Despite his relatively low-profile life as compared to other members of the royal family, George leaves behind a legacy of humility and personal happiness, prioritizing his family and personal passions over the responsibilities and obligations of his birth.
