Samuel Alito and Princess Gloria Bonded Over Catholicism and Ending Abortion – The New York Times

The princess was late for Mass.

Princess Gloria von Thurn und Taxis pulled a long dark coat over her silk scarf and necklace of pearls and hurried through the medieval monastery that is part of her 500-room palace. It was a chilly autumn night in Bavaria, with rain spitting outside, as she arrived at the chapel to pray.

The room glowed red, lit from a crypt below where her husband and other family members lay in their coffins. The princess knelt and soft bells sounded. Her dinner guests, a British baroness and her husband, slipped in to join her as a priest led prayers.

Princess Gloria, 64, who burst onto the international scene in the 1980s in jeweled tiaras and a multicolored mohawk, has since evolved into a conservative Catholic with ties to the European far right. An anti-abortion and anti-immigration provocateur in her native Germany, she has welcomed a newcomer into her circle as a hero: Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., who was her guest at her annual music festival in the summer of 2023.

Oh dear. Those darn glamorous, right wing, European princesses. Always going to Mass and making friends with Supreme Court Justices. There should be a law against this sort of thing. Going to Mass. Right wing princesses. Supreme Court Justices. Hopefully, Kamala will put an end to this nonsense. (/satire)
