The Anhalt family

[Kalafrana]

There is a serious yuck factor here!

He's at it again:




'I always ask her what she wants and she always says champagne and caviar but she always gets that, so it’s not a present. I wanted to do something special. We were talking about when I ran for governor and I said ‘let’s do something crazy again’ and that’s when I had this idea, so she can see it on the television.
'It’s costing me $68,000 a month but being married to Zsa Zsa for 25 years, it’s worth it. To be married to her for this long is priceless.'

I am surprised she is still alive.

[Eric_Lowe]

Yes. I think they are selling her mansion.

[HerrKaiser]

"running for governor"? He was the only one who really thought so.

[Eric_Lowe]

Only in "neverland" perhaps. 

[Robert_Hall]

I do not think he even made the ballot. I do not recall him being on it in any case.  I did not know hew as even trying until I returned  from London.  [I normally vote absentee]

Hi,

This is laughable, except it is so sad for poor Zsa Zsa.....  He is just exploiting his crass, ignorant, 'taking advantage' position in her life.
To make such statements as "He's having to pay $68,000 a month" - - It's Zsa Zsa's money, not his - HELLO!!!!!
And, "She'll be so exceited, she'll just jump out of bed on one leg" - - My Gawd!! what an insulting boor - DUH!!!

He's no Prince, literally and figuratively, nor even imaginary....  A real prince with manners and class and integrity would never behave like this ass....
Just my thoughts.

I always liked the Gabors - they were beautiful, charming, witty & harmless!!!!!!

If he is a real prince, I am the easter bunny. I have always found this man disgusting.

[Eric_Lowe]

Hmmm...He was legally adopted by the last Princess von Anhalt. So he has no royal blood...like Sarah, Duchess of York.

Well...except Zsa Zsa did slap a policeman once...I would not say she is harmless.

[HerrKaiser]

I always liked the Gabors - they were beautiful, charming, witty & harmless!!!!!!

Except for the possibility of having spawned a generation of people like Paris Hilton and her crowd. At least the Gabors did not appear to be as socially, personally, culturally, and educationally deficient as the air-head rich-and-beautiful-and-limited-talent crowd of today.

[Robert_Hall]

And, the fact that they ate men.  Zsa Zsa once said, I am an excellent house keeper, I marry, and keep the house.  They were all pretty shrewd at business, I think thanks to Jolie.  I do not know about the others,  but Zsa Zsa,  smart in some was, was really ignorant in others.  During some conflict with the law she  yelled that her husband would be king of Germany and they treat them like royalty  in Europe. Somehow, I doubt the latter statement. If anything, they were treated like c list celebrities.  It has hard to  make  difference from the airheads they played and the real persons, as they kept the former image up 24/7.  Well, Zsa and Eva. I really do not know much about Magda.

[Eric_Lowe]

Magda kept herself from the limelight. The Anhalts were not the kings of Germany.

This is from 2010, but I think it was not posted here before:


In January 2010 HH Prince Eduard Duke of Anhalt, Duke of Saxony, Head of the Ducal House and Master of the Order Albrecht the Bear, added and modernized the “Hausgesetz der Familie Anhalt-Askanien für das 21. Jahrhundert” (Family Laws of the Ducal House of Anhalt-Ascania for the 21rst Century).

“In close dependence upon the decisions and changes made by most of the ruling royal families of Europe, inevitable for the necessities of the monarchies and our former ruling dynastyy of Anhalt-Ascania for the 21st Century and because of the actual adoption laws of the Federal Republic of Germany I have decided to add the following new house laws:

- The Salic or Semi-Salic laws are no longer valid and no longer executed by the Ducal House of Ascania.

- The Head of the House of Anhalt-Askania is Prince EDUARD Julius Ernst-August Erdmann, DUKE OF ANHALT, Duke of Saxony, Engern and Westphalia, Count of Ascania, Lord of Zerbst, Bernburg und Gröbzig and his legal descendance succeeding his late brother Prince Friedrich, Duke of Anhalt (1938 – 63), son of the late Duke Joachim Ernst of Anhalt (1901 – 1947).

- Successor to the present Duke Eduard will be the his first born daughter and her direct lineage, according to the earlier date of birth of her child, independend to the child’s gender.

- According to the new laws of the Ducal House, Eduard Duke of Anhalt’s successor will be Princess JULIA KATHARINA, b.at Bad Tölz 14 Dec 1980 and her decendants according to earlier date of birth, not to gender.

- With her succession – either at the date of the death of her father, his written abdication or a mental health problem – Princess Julia Katharina will become Duchess of Anhalt, Head of the Ducal House of Ascania and Master of the Order Albrecht der Bär.

- Successor to Princess Julia Katharina, future Duchess of Anhalt will be, at present, her eldest child Prince Julius MAXIME Lazllo b at Munich 21 Dec 2010 as future Duke of Anhalt and his lineage of children according to earlier birth, not to gender.

- In the case, that there will be no direct living decendancy by the lineage Eduard Duke of Anhalt to Princess Julia Katharina to Prince Julius Maxime Laszlo; the direct lineage of my second daughter Princess Julia EILIKA b at Munich 3 Jan 1985 shall follow, followed by the direct lineage of my youngest daughter Princess Julia FELICITAS b at Munich 14 May 1993.

- Accepted family members and successors as Head of the Ducal House of Anhalt-Ascania can only be male and female decendants in the direct lineage from the late Duke Joachim Ernst of Anhalt, Duke of Saxony, Count of Ascania etc. (1901 – 47).

- Members of  the House of Anhalt, who adopted or adopt persons who are not direct decendence to Duke Joachim Ernst, never were and shall be accepted as members of the House of Anhalt-Ascania.

Oh weh, the ancestral dynasty of Germany's saddest federal state is headed for the saddest and most ignoble end. Mind-numbling to think that София Августа Фредерика Анхальт-Цербстская was an Ascanian. And that their pretension to the Duchy of Saxony (it went downhill with them ever since they lost it?) is reflected in the composition of Sachsen-Anhalt, even if the Saxon part is due to Prussian annexation of electoral Wettiner territory during the Napoleonic Wars.
