Clementina ranked among the members OF
the reignlng dynasties, and upon marrying
IN 1890 the wealthy and handsome Prince
OF Thurn and Taxis went TO Munich,
supposing that she would continue
20 rank az rOyal archduchess, though
her husband was only HIS Serene Hlgh.
ness" The Princess Gisela, daughter OF
the Emperor Francis Joseph, and wife OF
Prince Leopold or Bavaria, decided that
the Priucess of Thurn and Taxis had for
feited her rank as an Austrian archduchess
and must be treated as a mere serenity"
Ihereupon the Princess refused to 60 TO
court. and formed "a court of her own at
her cateau at Reichburg, where she holds
jstes and balls which are frequented by
leading members OF the nobility TO the
neglect of the Court circle. The Princess,
