Early life

The current Prince of Sjing-djêng was born on Feburary 3, 1959 in New Hadaway, the United Kingdom of Anglia and Lerchernt, to his father the late prince and mother Julia Morton, a Tyrannian native and businesswoman. At birth, he was the eldest son and heir presumptive to the princely title; notified to the Comptroller of the House immediately, the House of Lords quietly resolved to name him the Lord of ′an-′jep (安邑侯, ′an-′jep-go). In 1966, aged 7, an agent of the Marshal of Peers came to Anglia to confer him the title. The third Prince decided to raise him without excessive reliance on his title and residual privileges as a peer and gave him the Anglian name James, and as such he was sent to a public school in Anglia.  His father's scheme seems to have worked well, James blending readily into normal Tyrannian society.

Business career

Return to Themiclesia

In late 2019, the Prince of Sjing-djêng suddenly appeared in Themiclesia, to the surprise of the media. He submitted to the Marshal of Peers a request to take his seat in the House of Lords, generating much public discussion whether someone who lived his entire life abroad should be allowed to sit in parliament. While the ordinary press did not place excessive focus on the history of his house but questioned his familiarity with Themiclesian politics and interests, the tabloids have virulently attacked him for claiming a political voice after his grandfather "deserted" the country during the Pan-Septentrion War. The Prince publicly replied that he had nothing to say in defence of his grandfather's actions but that he has worked in several industries and believed he had perspectives that the current upper house lacked. This, effecitvely, rekindled the debate about the role of the upper house in Themiclesian politics, whether it was a vestigial organization representing sectional interests or had a genuine role in exploring and defending public benefit.
