Frederic, Prince von Anhalt: What a Guy!

1 Comment

While his wife, actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, spends her golden years bedridden in Los Angeles, CA, her strange husband the faux prince aka Frederic, Prince von Anhalt, continues to piss away her life savings on silly stuff.

So what did he do this time?  Well, he decided to purchase several billboards around Los Angeles to announce to the city that the couple have been happily married for 25 years.  Speaking with the gossip site, TMZ, the prince proudly exclaimed, “[I] spent $68,000 to erect this one 44 foot billboard for one month in the heart of Hollywood…”    

Meanwhile, poor Ms. Gabor continues to deteriorate.

A Regal Royal Wedding in Vegas…Cancelled! Oh Quel Dommage.

3 Comments

Sooo, remember when I reported about the upcoming regal royal wedding between Carl Alexander Prinz von Hohenzollern and his beloved bikini model fiancée, Maya Sonja, that was to take place in respectful Las Vegas, Nevada at the elegant Little White Chapel?

Yes?

Well, it never happened.

According to the German magazine, Bunte, the dashing couple had to cancel their nuptials because the faux Prince Frederic von Anhalt couldn’t make it.  You see, his lovely wife, Zsa Zsa Gabor, is seriously ill.  Unfortunately, she was recently admitted to Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, CA for Pneumonia.  Ms. Gabor is in intensive care.  However, the faux prince had time to speak to the press about two things.  First, his wife’s failing health whereupon he noted to a Bunte journalist:

She [Zsa Zsa] had suddenly become short of breath. This has happened twice already, but this time it was really very serious. I called the emergency doctor at noon, who immediately referred to the hospital and now she is on a respirator.

Regarding the wedding between the German prince and the rich American bikini model, the faux prince said, “We have to wait.”  

Good idea, Einstein.  

His second announcement… wait for it… “I have a new reality show!”  Yup, that’s right folks.  The faux prince is about to film a new reality show about what it is like to be a “royal” living in Los Angeles, CA; the program will also feature — get this — Carl Alexander Prinz von Hohenzollern and his fiancée, Maya Sonja.  Blabbing to TMZ about the new show, the faux Prince Frederic von Anhalt said, “Once Carl gets hitched, he and his new wife will move in with myself and Zsa Zsa Gabor where they will have their own floor in Zsa Zsa’s mansion…”  According to the British newspaper, Express, the faux prince is praying that his new show will pay for his lifestyle and his seriously ill wife’s medical bills.

Stay classy, Fred.

The Invitations to the Upcoming Wedding Between H.I.&R.H. Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia and H.S.H. Princess Sophie von Isenberg Have Been Sent Out

Well, ladies and gentleman invitations to the royal wedding between H.I.&R.H.Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia and his fiancée, H.S.H. Princess Sophie von Isenberg, were recently sent out according to Bild magazine.

The article notes that 1500 people have been invited, ” [they] were sent to German and international nobility, “ according to Michael Blankart, a representative for Preussen.de. Even though Mr. Blankart announced that nobles were invited I sincerely hope that several European royals were also invited (which I am sure they were.)

The couple will marry in Potsdam, Germany at the Friedenskirche on August 27, 2011.

Another Royal Wedding (of Sorts) to Take Place This Thursday Between Carl Alexander Prinz von Hohenzollern and American Maya Sonja. I Know What You Are Thinking Right Now… “WHO?!!!”

6 Comments

According to the German magazines Bild and Bunte, Carl Alexander Prince von Hohenzollern (a man married a thousand times before) will tie the knot — again — this Thursday to a 35 year old wealthy American named, Maya Sonja.

Apparently, the couple met at a dinner party hosted by Frederic faux Prince von Anhalt (you know, Zsa Zsa Gabor’s weird husband who made headlines when he swallowed a bumble bee, and when he glued his eyes shut, and when he was caught by the Beverly Hills police butt naked, tied to his steering whilst crying hysterically in his car a few years ago.)

The faux Prince von Anhalt thought it would be a brilliant idea to play match maker between the two and in the end, he was successful.  The couple immediately fell in love. “She is very slim, very beautiful, very rich,” says von Anhalt to Bunte journalist, Elke Habekost, about the future princess.

Miss Sonja, who is allegedly a bikini model and a dabbles in costume design here and there, is thrilled to become a princess according to faux Prince von Anhalt.

The romantic royal wedding of the week will take place in regal Las Vegas, Nevada at the elegant Little White Chapel according to Bild journalist, Mark Pittelkau.  The bride will wear a tiara and will be brought to the chapel in a carriage like a true soon-to-be princess and the prince will wear his Orders.  After the ceremony Miss Maya will be known as Maya Princess von Hohenzollern.

Now, I am sure you are thinking that this has got to be  a joke and I’m sure you threw up in your mouth a little after reading what faux Prince Fredric von Anhalt had to say… and… well all I can say is…I feel your pain.

A Documentary About Burg Hohenzollern: A Modest Home in Germany

1 Comment

Ah, Burg Hohenzollern.  What a magnificent castle!

Located south of Stuttgart, Germany, this modest pad is the family seat for the House of Hohenzollern.  Per the official site of the castle:

The first personal related reference of the Hohenzollern House dates back to 1061 (“Wezil et Burchardus de Zolorin”). First direct mention of the Castle complex (“Castro Zolre”) was in 1267. Appearance, size and furnishing of the original Castle are unknown, but presumably it was in the first decade of the 11th century. At that time it must have been a vast and artistically valuable furnished complex. Contemporary sources praised it as “Crown of all Castles in Swabia” and as “the most fortified House in Germany”. However in 1423, the Castle was completely destroyed.

From 1454 the second Hohenzollern Castle was constructed bigger and even more fortified than before. Later, during the Thirty Years War, the Castle was converted into a fortress with repeatedly changing owners. Since the maintenance of the building was neglected, it dilapidated and turned into ruins at the beginning of the 19th century.

In 1819 Crown Prince Frederick William of Prussia decided to have the ancestral seat of the Hohenzollern House reconstructed. In 1844, being King Frederick William IV, he wrote in a letter: “The memories of the year 1819 are exceedingly dear to me and like a pleasant dream, it was especially the sunset we watched from one of the Castle bastions, … now this adolescent dream turned into the wish to make the Hohenzollern Castle habitable again…”

From 1850 he put his long lasting dream into reality and created one of Germany’s most imposing Castle complexes in a neo-Gothic style. With its many towers and fortifications, it is an acclaimed masterpiece of military architecture in the 19th century. Additional civil architectural elements make it to a unique attraction. The location on the most beautiful mountain in Swabia, gives the Castle a picturesque appearance.

Any way, I recently found an interesting documentary on You Tube, from 1992, which discusses the brilliant history and construction of this magnificent castle.

So, sit back, relax and enjoy!    🙂
