Lubomirski - Princely Advice for a Happy Life

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 fathers 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 titles meaning now? How was I to wear this royal badge? As the sole male heir of my familys line, how was I to fulfill my duty to honor my ancestors accomplishments and carry this title for my descendents?
