Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxi became for the first time known for her high-spending getaways and wild parties in the 1980s, she surrounded herself with a mix of aristocrats, European tycoons and era-defining names like Mick Jagger, Jerry Hall, and Michael Jackson. Even though she reinvented herself as a devout Catholic businesswoman in the 1990sThe princess still knows how to lure powerful people to attend her parties, and according to the story New York Times, that means having a friendship with a Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito.
In a sit-down interview at her 500-room palace in Regensburg, Thurn und Taxis told the newspaper that Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann, visited her annual music festival in July 2023. Alitos arranged her own transportation, but meals and accommodations for the couple and 20 other guests were paid for by the princess. “It is an honor for us that he accepted the invitation,” said Princess Gloria. “Of course I didn’t charge him anything. That’s rude.”
IN financial declaration form Alito filed in August 2024, claiming a gift of $900 worth of concert tickets from “Gloria Thurn und Taxis.” the time note that financial disclosure rules do not require judges to list gifts such as meals and lodging that could be considered personal entertainment. The July 2023 trip took place during Alito’s Virginia period neighbor told reporters that a “Complain to heaven” The Christian nationalist flag is flying on the Alito family flagpole.
Thurn und Taxi told time that she admired Alito for his anti-abortion views. Alike many conservative thinkersshe’s also concerned about lower birth rates. “The only thing I care about in politics is that someone is fighting abortion and helping the birth rate increase,” she said. “I think that killing our own descendants and reducing our reproductive rate will eventually kill our own kind.”
She also talked about her friendship with fellow Catholics Steve Bannon, Trump’s former strategist, who is currently serving a four-month federal prison sentence for contempt of Congress. (Bannon, caller Donald Trump one “Just damn right,” recently said he hoped to be released before the election.) The German princess denied that she asked Bannon to use her palace as a “gladiator school” to train conservative nationalist politicians. “It’s so far removed from reality that it’s funny to think about,” she said, calling Bannon a “salesman.”
The Princess and Alito were introduced by a mutual friend, Father. Thomas Joseph White, who currently serves as rector of the Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas in Rome, most likely during a 2018 conference where Alito gave a keynote speech titled “The Value of Tradition in the Global Context bridge”.
Thurn und Taxis said she immediately fell in love with Alito and his wife. “If I meet people and like them, I will invite them over,” she said. “I have great admiration and respect for the judge and his wife, the manager behind the man.”
