Unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: The first son of the first son of America’s most notable man of wealth, Lee managed to become well-rounded as well as financially successful. He’s also now in his 40s and firmly understands he is gay. He never wanted or meant to marry, but the edict has come down from his father at long last: The family name must be protected, and no Astor son ought to be a bachelor into their 40s. At his mother’s suggestion, Lee has ventured across the Atlantic to the more practical waters of Jolly Old England, in the hopes of finding a woman who will accept him as he is, in exchange for providing her freedom and the bounty of his personal wealth.
