H Ill H Countess Mariae Gloria Ferdinanda Joachima Josephine Wilhelmine Huberta of Schönburg-Glauchau was born in Stuttgart on February 23, 1960, in Stuttgart, daughter of H Ill H Joachim, Count of Schönburg-Glauchau and Countess Beatrix Széchenyi de Sárvár-Felsővidék.

 She was 19  when she married HSH Johannes, 11th Prince of Thurn und Taxis (1926-1990).  In the 1980s, Vanity Fair dubbed Gloria "Princess TnT, the dynamite socialite."  

Prince Johannes was gay.  He needed an heir to his fortune and estate, and the young countess proved fertile.  She was three months pregnant when they married in May 1980.   The couple had three children: (Princess Maria Theresia (1980), Princess Elisabeth (1983), and Albert, 12th Prince of Thurn und Taxis (1983).

Johannes' death in 1990 left Gloria with more than $500 million in debt.  She took business courses and began saving her son's inheritance, including selling off family artwork and other possessions.   Her son, Albert, was only 7 when his father died.  He is now 41 and remains unmarried.

I wonder how Gloria's good friend Hilary Clinton feels about her being named the "darling of the US hard right?'   The princess has become friends with Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and his wife Martha Ann.  She also has ties to Stephen Bannon.

Princess Gloria considers Justice Alito "a hero."  She is a conservative Roman Catholic who opposes Pope Francis and wants the Church to return to a more traditional stance.

Johannes had children, so he was not gay.

It's quite bizarre the shift Gloria has made to this far-right position especially as she only achieved any status she now has by marriage to a gay man. The ingratitude!

Andrea, gay men can father children many gay men have children that doesn’t stop him from being gay. He acknowledged his sexual preference. He needed an heir

Gay men are capable of having sex with and impregnating women. It's happened frequently throughout history.
