Biography[edit]
Childhood and Family[edit]
His Royal Highness Prince Georges Charles Louis Rainier Marie was born on December 3, 2001, in Neuilly-sur-Seine, France. He is the eldest son of Their Royal Highnesses Prince Jérôme and Princess Eugénie. His younger brother, Prince Jean, currently holds the title of Hereditary Duke. From a young age, Prince George showed a passionate interest in various sports disciplines, including tennis and football. Alongside his interest in sports, he developed a deep love for arts and culture.
Duke of Royan[edit]
In 2021, due to health issues faced by his father, Prince George was called upon to temporarily assume the responsibilities associated with this position. Unfortunately, this period was marked by the untimely death of Prince Jérôme. Consequently, Prince George inherited the title of the 11th Duke of Royan, in addition to his other familial prerogatives.
Driven by strong determination and a deep desire to make a positive impact on the world, Prince George founded the International Ducal Investment Company (I.D.I.C.) in January 2022. This company was established with the aim of supporting businesses and humanitarian associations, thereby contributing to balanced and responsible development. Alongside this entrepreneurial initiative, Prince Georges was appointed as the Special Envoy for Youth of the World Development and Planning Fund, an organization affiliated with the United Nations. This appointment reflects his unwavering commitment to promoting the interests of young people and his active willingness to contribute to their development, from a perspective of sustainability and equity.
The prince is also an external advisor to CEO World, an American store specialized in the world's wealthiest individuals and a business leader[1].
In December 2022, the Duke of Royan was appointed as the Special Envoy for Youth of the World Development and Planning Fund, a subsidiary organization of the United Nations[2][3].
