Ahhhh German censorship!
A year or so ago, Theodora Prinzessin zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg got into legal trouble in Scotland. She pleaded not guilty. She was fined £1000 in July 2014.

You won't find this case mentioned in the German media because of "privacy" laws. But there are plenty of stories -- and some really nasty ones too. All I did was report the facts of the case, nothing salacious. Theodora's lawyers (most likely funded by Daddy) tried to get me to remove stories last year. I pointed out a US law that protects me. I also sent links to really nasty articles, and added that the Daily Mail gets a lot more readers than I do ... and I bet the lawyers would not go after them. Got the following email today.
The story is still on my blog, but no longer accessible if you go through google.de. The EU passed a law several years ago about the right to "forgotten." Several German newspapers, covering the Germanwings crash, would not publish the name of the co-pilot, Andreas Lubitz, who committed mass murder.
This is censorship at the highest level. One assumes a cover up to hide the fact that an adult woman, with some anger issues, and a big, potty mouth. She made racist statements, and got fined. There should be no expunging of such bad behavior.

European royals flee to Spain
June 19, 1940
An "impressive caravan of automobiles and trucks" streamed across the international bridge at Irun, Spain, just across the border from France, "with persons seeking refuge in Spain," reports United Press.
Former Empress Zita of Austria-Hungary was among the first to cross the border. She was accompanied by two siblings, Prince Xavier and Princess Isabella of Bourbon-Parma. They were "traveling incognito," but were recognized when they were "exempted at passport control."
Other European aristocrats also crossing the border from France into Spain include Elisabeth, Philippine and Eugenio de Rothschild, and the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, who was accompanied by a "large party."
Due to the "increasing number of refugees," the Spanish government will keep the bridge open throughout the night.

24 kids and counting: Duke Roberto of Parma
June 9, 1905
Duke Roberto of Parma is a father again, reports the Marquise de Fontenoy. This is the 24th child for the former sovereign of Parma. He is without a doubt the "patriarch of European royalty."
The duke has been married twice. His first wife, Princess Maria Pia of Bourbon-Two Sicilies died in childbirth in September 1882. The infant was stillborn. Two years later, he married Infanta Maria Antonia of Portugal.
The newborn child is the 12th child for Roberto and his second wife. He also has five grandchildren. His eldest daughter, the late Princess Marie Louise, who was married to Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, gave birth to four children before her death. Her brother, Prince Elias is married to Archduchess Maria Anna of Austria, and they have one daughter.
Roberto succeeded to the throne following the "mysterious and unpunished assassination" of his father in 1854, when he was only six years old. Five years later, he lost his throne when Piedmontese troops annexed Parma, an action that eventually led to the formation of the Kingdom of Italy.
He and his family sought refuge in Switzerland. He eventually regained the right to live in Italy, but makes his home in Austria, where "he is accorded all the prerogatives and immunities with the utmost distinction and consideration."
Money is not an issue as the duke inherited the major portion of the fortune of his uncle and aunt, the Count and Countess de Chambord, as well as their chateau.
It is believed that the Duchess of Parma gave birth to a son, although this has not been confirmed.
