Prince and Princess von Thurn und Taxis’ Diamond Wedding Anniversary 

Royal Guests and Relatives gathered from around Europe to celebrate the Diamond Wedding Anniversary of the Prince and Princess von Thurn und Taxis at Schloss St. Emmeram in Regensburg on this day in 1950, 75 years ago!

The Diamond Wedding Anniversary of the Prince von Thurn und Taxis and Archduchess Margarethe Klementine (wearing the Empire Tiara) was celebrated with a series of ceremonies at the Schloss St. Emmeram in Regensburg, the massive Seat of the House of Thurn und Taxis which is the largest private residence in Germany.

Prince Albert is wearing one of the diamond jewels of the Austrian Order of the Golden Fleece and the Princess is wearing the Empire Diadem and several of her diamond necklaces that were also included in the 1992 auction.

On another of the evenings, the Duchess of Braganza (wearing her Aquamarine Suite) joined the Prince von Thurn und Taxis and Archduchess Margarethe Klementine (in Empress Eugénie’s Pearl Tiara) for a Gala Dinner at Schloss St. Emmeram.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
