On February 23, 2010, Gloria, Princess of Thurn and Taxis, turned 50 and is not a bit calmer, though more thoughtful than the flamboyant party princess of the 1980s, during which she became Germany's most famous blue blood. After the birth of her first child in 1982, at just 20 years old, she became Germany's punk princess. In 1990, following the sudden death of her husband, she transformed into a businesswoman and the savior of the Thurn and Taxis family business. But the transformation continued. Since 1995, she has been an outspoken and practicing Catholic. Her life is as colorful and multifaceted as her hairstyles and dresses.
