Elizabeth II’s cousin was a real sex symbol.
Prince William’s name is confidently imprinted in the modern history of the royal family. However, Kate Middleton’s husband had a relative who could certainly compete with him. It was not for nothing that he excited everyone in the district with his behavior and impeccable appearance.
We are talking about Elizabeth II’s cousin, the son of King George VI Henry of Gloucester, William of Gloucester. He was the ideal of his time: he honored his family, respected his subjects and treated his fans with trepidation. He combined decent manners with an ideal appearance. The monarch was literally considered a sex symbol and was dubbed the “playboy prince” in the press. A high forehead, sharp cheekbones, an eagle look – this handsome man was in demand among girls. He won the hearts of many British women. Girls desperately dreamed of marrying him, writes The Voice.
However, William’s chosen one was the divorced model Zuzi Starkloff, whom he met on a trip to Japan. Gloucester could easily take her as his wife, for even at the beginning of his journey he renounced and connected his life with piloting. However, decency, respect for the family and Prince Philip’s ban did not allow him to do this.
In the summer of 1972, William of Gloucester crashed at the controls of an aircraft while performing a maneuver. He was only 30 years old.
