Prince Xanthorr, Count of Anapia (born 15.VIII.1728 AN) is the fourth child and second son of King Sinchi Roca II and Queen Adelaide of Nouvelle Alexandrie. Currently a midshipman at the Federal Naval Academy of Nouvelle Alexandrie, Xanthorr recently completed his undergraduate degree in physics from the University of Punta Santiago and has demonstrated strong aptitude for both academic scholarship and military service. Unlike his elder siblings, who spent significant time in Natopia or focused primarily on traditional royal duties, Xanthorr has pursued a path combining scientific education with naval service, reflecting his interests in maritime technology and his commitment to serving the nation through the Federal Forces of Nouvelle Alexandrie.

Early life and education

Prince Xanthorr was born at the Palace of Carranza in Cárdenas on 15.VIII.1728 AN, two years after his sister Princess Urpi and two years before his sister Princess Phaedra. Xanthorr and his nearest sisters were raised together while their elder siblings Princess Sayari and Prince Nathan had already begun separate educational paths and spent considerable time in Natopia.

Unlike his elder siblings, Xanthorr spent his entire childhood in Nouvelle Alexandrie, primarily at the Palace of Carranza with regular extended stays at the Palace of Chinchero in Parap. This upbringing alongside Urpi and Phaedra created exceptionally close bonds among the three siblings. Palace staff from this period describe the three as inseparable, with Xanthorr often mediating between his more assertive elder sister and their youngest sister. He developed early interests in how things worked, reportedly disassembling and reassembling mechanical toys and clocks by age six.

His education began with private tutors at the palace, where he demonstrated particular aptitude for mathematics and natural sciences. At age 10, he accompanied Princess Urpi to the Royal Academy of Parap, entering three years behind her. He excelled in physics and mathematics, showing less interest in the equestrian pursuits that captivated his sister but developing a fascination with astronomy and navigation. He completed his secondary education in 1746 AN with a gold baccalaureate, the first member of the immediate royal family to achieve this distinction.

Teachers at the Royal Academy described Xanthorr as intellectually curious but socially reserved. He formed a small circle of close friends rather than seeking broad popularity, and showed early signs of the scholarly temperament that would characterize his adult pursuits. His thesis for the Academy's Examination of Merit examined tidal patterns in the Captive Sea and their implications for naval operations, demonstrating the maritime interests he would later pursue professionally.

Higher education

Following his graduation from the Royal Academy of Parap, Prince Xanthorr enrolled at the University of Punta Santiago in 1746 AN at age 18, pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in physics. This decision reflected his interest in understanding the fundamental principles underlying natural phenomena and technology.

Xanthorr lived in university housing his first year, an unusual choice for a member of the immediate royal family. He later moved to a modest apartment near campus, maintaining distance from palace life while pursuing his studies. Classmates described him as serious and focused, participating actively in seminars but avoiding the social scene that occupied many students. He joined the university's Astronomy Society and the Physics Research Club, presenting papers on celestial mechanics and navigation.

His undergraduate thesis examined the mathematical modeling of ocean currents and their predictability, work that drew praise from faculty advisors for its rigor and practical applications. He graduated with highest honors in 1750 AN, having completed his degree in four years while maintaining a near-perfect academic record. The achievement demonstrated intellectual capability independent of his royal status, earning respect from faculty who initially worried about how to appropriately evaluate a prince's work.

Faculty members noted that Xanthorr showed particular interest in applied physics with maritime applications. His coursework emphasized fluid dynamics, mechanics, and computational methods, all relevant to naval engineering and operations. He also completed substantial coursework in Alexandrium physics, examining the unique properties of this strategic material and its potential applications.

Federal Naval Academy

Immediately following his undergraduate graduation, Prince Xanthorr entered the Federal Naval Academy in Punta Santiago in 1750 AN at age 22. This decision surprised many observers who expected him to pursue graduate studies immediately or enter diplomatic service. Xanthorr stated that the navy appealed to him because it combined technical sophistication with service to the nation, and offered opportunities to work with advanced technology.

As a midshipman at the academy, he is currently completing the standard officer training program. The curriculum includes seamanship, navigation, naval engineering, weapons systems, military law, and leadership training. Fellow midshipmen report that he is treated with excessive deference despite academy traditions of equality among students, a situation that creates some awkwardness. Xanthorr has requested that instructors not afford him special treatment and participates fully in the demanding physical and academic requirements.

His academic performance at the academy has been strong, with particular distinction in navigation, engineering, and naval science courses. Instructors note his ability to apply his physics background to practical naval problems and his genuine interest in understanding shipboard systems and operations. He has struggled more with some aspects of leadership training, as his naturally reserved personality does not always align with the assertive command presence the navy seeks to develop.

Training includes sea service aboard the academy's training vessels. Xanthorr has completed cruises aboard the training ship FNS Resolution, visiting ports throughout Nouvelle Alexandrie's regions. These experiences have provided him with practical exposure to naval operations and life at sea. He is expected to graduate from the academy in 1752 AN, at which point he will receive his commission as an ensign.

Naval service and future plans

Upon graduation from the Federal Naval Academy, Prince Xanthorr will receive his commission as an ensign in the Federal Navy of Nouvelle Alexandrie. His career path remains under discussion with naval leadership and his family. Several options exist for a junior officer with his educational background and interests.

One possibility involves assignment to the Federal Naval Research Institute in Punta Santiago, where his physics background and interest in Alexandrium applications could contribute to technological development projects. Such an assignment would allow him to pursue graduate studies while on active duty, combining research with military service. This path appeals to those who see his greatest potential contribution in technical rather than operational roles.

Another option would place him in traditional surface warfare assignments, serving aboard destroyers or frigates to gain operational experience. Advocates for this approach argue that royal officers should follow standard career paths to maintain credibility with the fleet. This route would involve rotations through various shipboard departments, with eventual progression to division officer and department head positions.

A third possibility combines both approaches, with initial operational tours followed by research assignments and graduate education. This path would provide broader experience while still allowing him to develop technical expertise. The Secretary of Defense has indicated that Prince Xanthorr's career will be managed to balance his unique position with the need for meaningful service.

His interests clearly lean toward the technical and research-oriented aspects of naval service. He has expressed particular interest in Alexandrium applications in maritime technology, building on coursework and independent study during his undergraduate years. Potential research areas include Alexandrium-enhanced sensor systems, communication equipment, and theoretical propulsion concepts.

Royal duties and public role

Prince Xanthorr undertakes a limited schedule of official royal engagements, averaging approximately 40-50 per year while completing his education and naval training. This reduced schedule reflects both his student status and his preference for focusing on his studies and training rather than ceremonial appearances. His engagements typically focus on maritime affairs, scientific education, and youth development in naval and technical fields.

He serves as patron of several organizations, including:

• New Alexandrian Maritime Foundation;
• Royal Society for Scientific Advancement;
• Maritime Heritage Preservation Trust;
• Youth Naval League of Nouvelle Alexandrie.

These patronages align with his interests and allow him to promote causes he considers important. His involvement in these organizations is currently limited by his academy commitments, though he attends major events and maintains correspondence with organizational leadership. The Youth Naval League particularly benefits from his involvement, as his presence attracts publicity and funding while his status as a current midshipman provides authentic connection to the naval service the organization promotes.

Public appearances often involve ship launches, naval ceremonies, and science-related events. He represented the royal family at the commissioning ceremony for FNS Constitution in 1749 AN and has attended several maritime conferences. His public speaking style is described as serious and thoughtful rather than charismatic. He tends to discuss substantive matters in technical detail, an approach that appeals to specialized audiences but generates less popular enthusiasm than more traditional royal rhetoric.

Media coverage of Prince Xanthorr focuses primarily on his academic achievements and naval training rather than his personal life, which he guards carefully. He is generally portrayed as serious, intelligent, and dedicated to service, with commentators praising his academic success and commitment to meaningful military service rather than purely ceremonial roles.

Relationship with siblings

Prince Xanthorr maintains particularly close relationships with his sisters Princess Urpi and Princess Phaedra. The three siblings were raised together and developed strong bonds that persist into adulthood. They communicate regularly despite different pursuits and geographic separation, and prioritize spending time together during holidays and family events.

With Princess Urpi, Xanthorr shares intellectual compatibility despite different specific interests. Both siblings pursue careers combining public service with specialized expertise, and they frequently discuss professional challenges and career decisions. Urpi has stated in rare personal comments that Xanthorr provided crucial emotional support during her controversy with Isabella Valentina and other difficult periods. The siblings collaborate on charitable initiatives where their interests overlap, particularly programs promoting educational access for talented students from working-class backgrounds.

His relationship with Princess Phaedra is described by those close to the family as protective and supportive. As the youngest of the three, Phaedra benefited from both siblings' guidance during childhood and young adulthood. Xanthorr has advocated for his youngest sister in family discussions and supported her educational choices. The three siblings vacation together when schedules permit, often at private royal estates where they can spend time without media attention.

Relations with his elder siblings Princess Sayari and Prince Nathan are cordial but less close. The six-year age gap between Xanthorr and Sayari, combined with her time in Natopia during his childhood, meant limited shared experiences during formative years. Similarly, Prince Nathan's separate upbringing created natural distance. The siblings maintain regular contact and present unified family appearances at state events, but do not share the intimate bonds that connect the three younger siblings.

Personal life

Interests and activities

Beyond his academic and naval training, Prince Xanthorr maintains interests in astronomy, maritime history, and classical music. He is an accomplished amateur astronomer and maintains correspondence with professional astronomers at the University of Punta Santiago. He uses a personal telescope at the Palace of Chinchero during visits to Parap, focusing on observations of planetary motion and deep-sky objects. His interest in maritime history manifests in a growing collection of historical navigation instruments and maritime artifacts. He has contributed items to the National Maritime Museum in Punta Santiago and supports acquisition of historically significant pieces. He has begun writing scholarly articles on the development of navigation technology, with one piece accepted for publication in a specialized historical journal.

Classical music provides relaxation from academic and military demands. Xanthorr plays piano competently, having studied from childhood, and attends concerts when duties permit. He particularly appreciates composers known for mathematical precision in their compositions, and has stated that music provides a different way of understanding order and pattern than his scientific work.

He maintains physical fitness through swimming and sailing, both relevant to his naval career. He owns a small sailing dinghy which he keeps at Punta Santiago and sails during limited free time. Associates describe these sailing trips as his primary method of relaxation and stress management during the demanding academy program.

Relationships and privacy

Prince Xanthorr maintains exceptionally strict privacy regarding his personal life and relationships. At age 22, he has not publicly acknowledged any romantic attachments, and those close to him are notably reticent to discuss such matters. Friends, colleagues, and acquaintances are described by media observers as "notoriously tight-lipped" about the prince's private affairs, with even casual acquaintances from university and the academy declining to provide information about his social life to journalists.

This intense privacy has fueled speculation about the prince's personal life and sexuality. Unconfirmed reports have periodically surfaced, particularly during his university years, suggesting romantic involvement with both men and women. Several tabloid publications have claimed anonymous sources placing the prince in relationships with various individuals, though none of these reports have been substantiated with verifiable evidence. Palace officials have declined to confirm or deny any such reports, consistently maintaining that members of the royal family's private lives are not subject to public discussion.

Media outlets have noted that Prince Xanthorr's social circle includes several openly LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly among his university friends and academic colleagues. Some observers cite this as evidence supporting speculation about his own sexuality, while others argue that friendship patterns reveal nothing about personal orientation and that the prince's inclusive social circle simply reflects the progressive environment at the University of Punta Santiago. The prince has never addressed questions about his sexuality or relationships publicly.

His social circle consists primarily of fellow naval academy students and university friends rather than aristocratic social networks or celebrity circles. Academy classmates describe him as reserved but loyal, with a dry sense of humor that emerges in private settings. He avoids nightlife and social events that attract media attention, preferring small gatherings with close friends or quiet evenings studying. Friends characterize him as comfortable discussing personal matters in private but unwilling to have his private life become public fodder.

The lack of confirmed information has not prevented ongoing media speculation. Entertainment publications periodically publish articles analyzing his public appearances for potential romantic connections, while online forums dedicated to royal watching engage in extensive discussion of his personal life. Privacy advocates have criticized this scrutiny as invasive and inappropriate, particularly given the prince's consistent efforts to maintain boundaries between public duties and private existence.

Prince Xanthorr currently maintains quarters at the Federal Naval Academy as required for midshipmen, and uses private apartments at the Palace of Carranza during leaves and visits to Cárdenas. He previously maintained an apartment near the University of Punta Santiago campus during his undergraduate years, valuing the relative anonymity the large city provided. Associates note that his living arrangements have consistently prioritized privacy and independence from constant palace oversight.

Public perception and media coverage

Media coverage of Prince Xanthorr tends to focus on his academic accomplishments and naval training rather than personal matters, partly due to limited information available and partly reflecting editorial choices about appropriate royal coverage. He is generally portrayed as serious, intelligent, and dedicated to service, with commentators praising his academic achievements and commitment to substantive military service rather than purely ceremonial roles.

Some observers have noted that coverage of Prince Xanthorr differs from that of his siblings, with less emphasis on fashion, social appearances, and potential romantic relationships. Media analysts attribute this to several factors: his reserved personality, his student status and technical career focus, his effective privacy management, and editorial decisions about respecting personal boundaries. Some critics argue that media organizations practice self-censorship regarding the prince due to both legal privacy protections and concerns about crossing boundaries into speculation about sexuality.

Public opinion polling indicates that Prince Xanthorr is well-regarded among New Alexandrians who are aware of him, though he maintains a lower public profile than siblings like Princess Urpi. He is particularly respected among scientific and technical communities, who view him as genuinely accomplished rather than merely holding honorary positions. His gold baccalaureate from the Royal Academy of Parap and honors degree from the University of Punta Santiago are cited as evidence of authentic intellectual capability.

The speculation about his personal life has generated occasional controversy. LGBTQ+ advocacy groups have criticized media speculation about the prince's sexuality as inappropriate and potentially harmful, regardless of whether the speculation is accurate. They argue that public figures' sexual orientations should not be subject to media conjecture and that such speculation perpetuates harmful assumptions. Conversely, some LGBTQ+ activists note that if Prince Xanthorr were gay and chose to be open about it, this could have significant positive impact given Nouvelle Alexandrie's generally tolerant but still evolving attitudes toward sexual minorities.
