The Prince and Princess of Hohenzollern made such a handsome couple when they married! I believe he focused on his business and she in golf after they separated. I think she lives in Majorca? Happy Birthday to the lucky girl!
They really were stunning! However, the Spanish sun has not been kind to her over the years…
No, it hasn’t, poor lamb. Hopefully, it won’t have any dire consequences!
