Russell Henry Errett (1962-) is a prince of Austro-Hungarian, German, and English-lineage titles. A noted esotericist, academic, and purported magician of high degree, Prince Russell now resides chiefly in the United States.

Prince Russell is the sole caretaker of the unknown writings of his namesake forebears (Russell Errett and brother Isaac Errett). During the eighteenth century the Errett's were military officers of the Crown, probably indirectly for the House of Habsburg. Following the assassination of William Errett by Irish Roman Catholics in the 1790s, his son, Henry, was the first of the line to emigrate from royally controlled domains. Prince Russell possesses the teachings of Henry's sons, the aforementioned Russell and Isaac, which are alleged to dovetail original Mormon tenets with Roman Catholicism including exceptional dispensation for polygamy as spiritual necessity for Salvation.

Until his late thirties, Prince Russell benefited from a six to seven-figure annual stipend issued from a royal trust as his birthright. Following the trust's awareness of Prince Russell's miscegenation with Asian (viz. non-approved) women and his resulting progeny, the trust terminated his stipend.

During his upbringing Prince Russell regularly changed residence from California to England, Scotland, France, and Germany where he was subjected to rigorous study under the care of privatdozents sworn to secrecy who work confined within the royal social structure and noble houses.

During his boyhood years as an initiate stateside, Prince Russell was personally tutored by Manly P. Hall among other notables public and secret, through whom he was apprenticed into several ancient traditions thereby gaining precociously high degrees and additional esoteric titles. Attaining multiple designations of adept while still quite young, occult governing bodies eventually imparted Prince Russell with pedagogical autonomy such as that possessed by the non-defrocked laicized Jesuits with whom he studied theology. Prince Russell bestows degrees and titles in private tutorial settings in Christian mysticism, Greater and Lesser Magic, Sex Magic, Sufism, and the Left Hand Path. His tarot readings are said to be remarkably useful and exceptionally up-market. He is rumored to have carried out ceremonial assassination upon properly declared orders from intelligence and occult organizations. He has undergraduate degrees in philosophy and European languages from the California State University, after which Prince Russell studied and taught as a Teaching Fellow at Boston University where he earned his graduate degree in philosophy with subspecialties in religion and the occult.

Among the highlights of Prince Russell's notorious academic career is having been released from two colleges for no good cause. Firstly, succumbing to pressures brought on by the Tournament of Roses, Pasadena City College dismissed him in December of 2007 for having screened the Todd Solondz film Happiness (as Errett had for seven prior years without incident or censure by supervisors) and, secondly, discharged from Los Angeles Pierce College in 2008 for assigning Anton LaVey's The Satanic Bible in addition to a conventional Judeo-Christian Bible.
