I actually thought he is butt ugly. His sisters look sort of decent.

No Life, me and HartlepoolLad have already established he is worth a shag.
And HartleppolLad is choosier than I am.

I actually thought he is butt ugly...

i have to agree there. last time i saw him on t.v. he was extremely pudgy, not a very sportly chap. just like his pa.

a few weeks back i actually sat down and watched a special about the T&Taxis family. aside from being from poor royalty (everyone seems to think her brother is a well-known journalist, but i cannot recall his name and wrote a tragic book about it some years back), Mariae Gloria Ferdinanda Joachima Josefine Wilhelmine Huberta, Princess of Thurn and Taxis did a Anna Nicole and married the guy who was a much sought after bachelor, already in his late 50's or early 60's. apparently she loved him. she was definitely a wild one. and as katrina wrote, had a helluva time to manage his poorly-managed estate after he died. apparently she sold off quite some gems in their family.

but what pisses me off the most is - he is the sole heir? he does have 2 older sisters. f*cking monarchy.

I'm not informed about the family tree, but one of the Thurn und Taxises is American, btw. I met her once. She lives in Munich and also has a house in Cape Cod or Martha's Vineyard or somewhere, and met her husband when they were in school in London. I think she also said she has quite a few grown kids. Her husband must be a lawyer or a judge or something, because after I talked to her, she was heading down to the Justizpalast to meet him after work.

I didn't quiz her about the noble background of her husband's family, so I'm not sure where she fits in. She's a very nice lady. It amuses me to imagine an American with such a last name.

Edit: I removed her first name because on retrospect I think it was not a good idea to post it.

He'd be happier with Hartlepool Lad's cock up him but that's for another forum.

The Thurn and Taxis family are well known as owners of breweries and builders of countless castles

His Ma has been shooting off the mouth again. She went to visit her old friend Ratzinger in Rome and although one of those present at the Chinese restaurant introduced himself as a journalist for the Regensburger Wochenblatt (German link, well worth reading!), took notes all evening and took a picture of her with her permission she was in rare form and demanded the re-institution of the Inquisition for anyone attacking the Bishop of Regensburg or demanding that women should be allowed to become priests. Jokingly, she offered to light the pyres.
Her daughters allegedly complain that all the men that they meet are bent (andersrum). Maybe they shouldn't hang around with their brother's friends, their Dad's old cronies or Catholic priests.

[floatright]Attached image[/floatright]Last week Forbes published their 2007 list of the world's billionaires. Same as last year, they give the youngest as Albert II, Prince of Thurn and Taxis. The 23 year old has a net worth of $2.0 billion. Being the only son of his late father, Johannes, he is sole heir to the family fortune.

The Thurn and Taxis family are well known as owners of breweries and builders of countless castles. The family home is a 500-room castle in Regensburg, Bavaria. Prince Albert himself is currently at Edinburgh University where he is studying economics and theology.

According to an article in Bild Zeitung (so it must be true) the prince is currently single. See: Ein Milliardär zum Verlieben. They don't mention the status of his sisters Elisabeth (24) and Maria (26) however.

They say money doesn't make you happy, but he looks pretty pleased with himself in every photo I've seen.

I bet he is gay, his hair screams "West Village" to me.
