Guy Stair Sainty (2)

Sandor Habsburg-Lothringen spent his youth in Austria, the Dominican Republic, and Antigua W.I. He graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in the USA with a focus on environmental protection and alternative Energy. His professional life has taken him from his work as a research engineer, where he received several patents, through consultancy, entrepreneurship and from the founding of several companies to his philanthropic work with his wife Herta Margarete. Today, he is on the board of several companies and organizations. Together with his wife he is a trustee of the Association for Furtherance Peace in Vienna, Austria with peace related activities in more than 70 countries.

On 11 September 2021, HIRH Prince Sandor Habsburg-Lothringen, Archduke of Austria, Prince of Tuscany, accepted the patronage of the Order of Saint Stanislaus, a private charitable organisation. Although claiming to follow the “code of chivalry”, the Order of Saint Stanislaus acknowledges itself as a recently founded private organisation without fount of honour, not claiming to be an order of chivalry.

Sandor Habsburg-Lothringen was born in Vienna Austria, on 13 February 1965, to Dominic Habsburg-Lothringen, Archduke of Austria and Verginia Engel von Voss. He is a direct descendent of Maria Theresa – Empress of Austria, Catherine the Great – Empress of Russia, and of Queen Victoria of Great Britain.

Guy Stair Sainty’s barbarous response

Guy Stair Sainty’s response to the event was barbarously. Mr. Nobody insulted His Highness very rudely:

In Guy Stair Sainty’s personality, the persistence of an archaic, grandiose, and omnipotent sense of self is a necessary condition for his pathological manifestations of envy. As a vital element to his mental equilibrium, Stair Sainty must feel or believe that he is entitled to all that is good and valuable.

Given that Guy Stair Sainty depends on an external source of support (praise and admiration by his infantile groupies) for his sense of emotional equilibrium, his “self” becomes envious by the realization in (or projection onto) others (or objects) of the qualities he imagines unique in himself. Inevitably, Sainty experiences each of his envied objects’ successes or attributes as a challenge, and, at times, as a mortal injury to his sense of self.

Bacon, in his ninth essay, Of Envy, considered such “affection” as belonging to “a man that hath no virtue in himself.” In his keen observations, he noted four broad categories of envious individuals: “deformed persons, and eunuchs, and old men”; those who “rise after calamities and misfortunes”; those who “desire to excel in too many matters, out of levity and vain glory”; and “near kinsfolks, and fellows in office”. Sainty perfectly fits into the first category.

Sainty’s low-class origin

Social class is predictive of the frequency of Sainty’s swearing. An investigation of the British National Corpus, a massive collection of written and spoken English from a wide range of sources, found that lower working class speakers, like Sainty, swore significantly more than speakers from higher social classes.
