Prince Albert II and the Princely House of Thurn und Taxis 3: 2011 - 2021

[Kataryn]

The current prince T& is a direct descendant of William IV. of Luxembourg, IIRC, so he might be invited.

 

[MAfan]

No, he isn't a direct descendant of Guillaume IV; the closest connection to the Grand Ducal Family I think is that the wife of Guillaume IV, Grand Duchess Maria Anna, was the sister of Dom Miguel, the Duke of Bragança, who is the great-grandfather of Prince Albert von Thurn und Taxis.
This means that Albert is a third cousin of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg.

An article from Vanity Fair about the lavish 60th birthday party for Prince Johannes of Thurn und Taxis. Quite entertaining to read:Let Them Eat Lobster! | Vanity Fair

Thanks for the article!
Princess Gloria definitely knows how throw a memorable party.

Oh my eyes, my eyes! That entire outfit should be charged with crimes against fashion!

I love her cross pendant !!!!

So Xenia and Albert have splitted up, because Albert spends too much time with motorsports and they didn't have enough time together. They are said to be still friends.
That's what Bunte writes this week.

MARIA TURN UND TAXIS
Maria Thurn und Taxis’ drive to paint is inherently an emotional one, exploring deeper psychological meanings and the responses from the viewer.
Maria Thurn und Taxis graduated from the American University of Paris with a BA in Film and Media (2005) before enrolling in painting classes at Camberwell College of Art (2007) and an MA Fine Art from City and Guilds of London School of Art (2010).
In 2005 she produced a documentary film at the Sushma Koirala Hospital in Kathmandu, Nepal which was shown at a charity event in Paris in 2006.

The article in the photo is somewhat a bit hateful. It says - for example - that Albert looks good because he is rich - 1 billion Euros, biggest landowner in Germany, biggest woodland owner in Europe. About the girl: just rumours. She is probably Italian and perhaps his new girlfriend. Then the article claims, Albert has a big flat in Rome/Italy and many friends - because he went to school there. And that's it basically.

Does anyone know if Gloria of Thurn und Taxis attended Pope Benedict XVI's last audience in St. Peter's Square on Wednesday, Feb. 27th? I have read previously that Gloria and her husband had been close with the then Cardinal Ratzinger as well as his brother as both brothers lived near the Thurn Und Taxis Regensburg Palace.

I haven't read nor seen anything yet.


On March 1st, Gloria and Elisabeth attended Pierre Pelegry's birthday party at Maxim's in Paris.

Thank you, Iceflower. I had not seen anything mentioning Gloria in attendance in Rome either.

That was quite a birthday bash attended on March 1. The pic's from the getty images show quite the collection of A listers. Perhaps Gloria's party girl days are not completely over

I seem to see more of the girls and their mother than I do of Albert! Does anyone have anything n the prince and what he is up to or has been up to lately? I know he was single a fee years ago, has he met someone and engaged or married?
