Though she’ll never be a working royal, Lady Marina Windsorhas been a mainstay of elite social circles.
Here’s a look at the stunning transformation of Lady Marina Windsor.
Despite being a member of the Windsor clan, Lady Marina Windsor had a rather ordinary childhood.
Born in 1992 to the Earl and Countess of St Andrews, Marina was raised in Cambridge.
Her mom, Dr. Sylvana Tomaselli, is a history professor at the city’s prestigious university.
The sisters were later sent to St. Mary’s, a Catholic boarding school in Berkshire.
Her Canadian mom, Sylvana Tomaselli, is Roman Catholic, and Windsor shares her mother’s faith.
Upon her birth, Windsor was 25th in line to the British throne.
“She was the most elegant woman I know of,” she said (viaDaily Mail).
“And one I’ve made many failed attempts at emulating.”
However, the following year, Marina announced that she was done with modeling.
“We owed them a lot because they had done so much for our family,” she said.
Instead of becoming a model, Marina hoped to work for the UN.
“I’m very interested in diplomacy,” she explained.
So much so that the 20-year-old showcased her tragus piercing while attending Queen Elizabeth II’s pre-Christmas lunch.
One can’t help but wonder what Her Majesty and other senior royals made of the metal modification.
Of course, Windsor wasn’t the first royal to stun with her piercings.
Back in 1998, 17-year-old Zara Tindall debuted a frenulum piercing and left royal tongues wagging.
It seems that Zara walked so Marina could run.
She may not be a working royal, but she shared a snap of herself looking effortlessly regal onInstagram.
Testament to her unwavering thirst for knowledge, Windsor began writing for Vogue that year.
She published an article about female artisans in Beirut, a very on-brand topic for the socially conscious royal.
And yet, Windsor is aroyal who works a regular job.
In 2021, she began working for Blue Marine Foundation, an ocean conservation organization.
I’ve learned so much since being there."
And Windsor remains true to her values.
Though royals are invariably escorted all over London in private cars, Windsor doesn’t drive.
As part of her commitment to green living, she prefers to walk or take public transit.
It’s becoming increasingly common for Millennials to live with their parents well into their 30s.
Windsor is incredibly close to her grandparents, as she divulged in her chat with Hello!.
“I love my grandpa,” she said.
“He’s an amazing man, and he’s definitely inspired me.”
She needn’t have worried, however, as she has a super active social life.
“Fast fashion is incredibly destructive to our planet,” she said.
That’s a pretty good way of doing it.
That’s what my friends and I are trying to do a lot more."
“I think the generation above us kept their clothes so well.
I’m trying to do the same thing,” she added.
