The “English Gentleman” stereotype is not at all a person who does the right thing, it’s a person who projects the right impression, something altogether different.
Tbf, this is the “genteel” of every Western nation, afaict, to varying degrees.
It’s quite possibly that kind of character was also present in the upper classes of several countries in Europe.
But in the Present Day in Europe as far I know as only the English still widelly celebrate that kind of personna and protray it as a core English thing.
