Anyone knows why did he die so young ?

Can someone post photos of Karl-Ludwig and Maximilian ?

Princess Iniga of Urach has died (I didn´t know it)

Princess Ingia of Urach, Countess of Württemberg died on Wednesday, September 17, 2008, at her home in Aufkirchen, near Starnberg, Upper Bavaria. She was 83-years-old.
Princess Iniga was born on August 25, 1925 at Schloss Niederaichbach to Princess Elisabeth of Luxembourg and Prince Ludwig Philipp of Thurn und Taxis.
The cause of death was cancer. She died in the arms of her son, Inigo. The princess' elder brother, Anselm, was killed in the second world war.

On May 24, 1948, Princess Iniga married Prince Eberhard von Urach at Regensburg.
Prince Eberhard was the 8th child of Wilhelm, Duke of Urach and his first wife, Duchess Amelie of Bavaria. Prince Eberhard died in 1969.
Princess Iniga is survived by five children, Princess Amelie, Mrs. von Einseidel, Princess Elisabeth, Prince Karl Anselm, Wilhelm, Duke of Urach and Prince Inigo, and their families.

Now back to the Thurn and Taxis Family.

I am not surprised as Gloria seemed to be quite close to the present pope.

[Rani]

There is a photo of Gloria with Ratzinger.
On Sunday she was in a talkshow again with her brother Alexander. They talked about Africa and Auma Obama (Obamas sister) was so irritated. Gloria talked about Aids and she said that Africas problem is that there are too many people. Okay..

This photo is so funny



 I really think that Johannes Taxis married a very young girl, because he was so old and a needed a successor. Am I to mean?

[Marlene]

Johannes was gay, and a bit older, and he needed produce an heir because all of the other male lines were morganatic.  Gloria was noble enough - but no money  -- and they did a test run before the wedding because she was already pregnant at the time of the wedding

Hello,

Has anyone had a chance to read Horacio Silva's article in the recent New York Times Style Magazine?  It states that Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis has introduced teas, jams, chocolates, cookies, and sweetly scented candles as part of Gloria von Thurn und Taxis' Tea Time Collection.  It also talks about her wholehearted immersion in the Roman Catholic Church, her large donations to the Church, her hosting conservative Catholic salons, and her trips to Lourdes under the auspices of the Knights of Malta.  The article ends with Horacio asking," I asked Princess Gloria if she had heard the rumors that her friendship with Princess Alessandra Borghese, a fellow conservative Catholic, was of the biblical kind, 'Yes' she said. 'But I don't think that it really matters.  I think that everyone has the right to decide for him- or herself what they want to do behind bedroom doors, and no one of us would ever judge that. And I don't think the Catholic Church does that.' "

 I think a very interesting reply from the wife of Prince Johannes von Thurn und Taxis!

[Eric_Lowe]

Wow ! I wonder what Ratzinger (The Pope) will say about that ?

[Marlene]

I could have sworn that the Roman Catholic church, through its emissaries, has made it clear about gay relationships.

Gloria appears to be confirming the relationship
