Hungary Royal Family

Let's assume for a moment, just for the fun of it, that a direct descendant of George III has shown up in Los Angeles. George III, you'll recall, was on the throne when the American colonies won their independence from Britain. Now, suppose this royal newcomer just happens to use his famous ancestor's name: George of Great Britain.

Gyorgy von Hapsburg knows that the chances he will ever be king of Hungary are exceedingly small. Yet it is hard to shake the impression that he lives with an eye to the possibility that maybe, just maybe, that could happen. Discussing the odds for the restoration of the monarchy in a land his grandfather once ruled, Archduke Gyorgy, to use his royal title, verbally dances around the question like the diplomat he is. "Who knows?" he says, noting that history shows it's wrong to say "never."
