Gloria, Dowager Princess of Thurn and Taxis (Mariae Gloria Ferdinanda Joachima Josephine Wilhelmine Huberta; born Countess Gloria von Schönburg-Glauchau, 23 February 1960) is a German socialite, businesswoman, art collector, artist, and right-wing traditionalist Catholic activist. In the 1980s, Gloria was a member of the European jet-set, known as "Princess TNT" for her extravagant, punk-inspired style. After the 1990 death of her husband, Johannes, 11th Prince of Thurn and Taxis, she took on the management of Schloss St. Emmeram and the enterprises of the House of Thurn and Taxis, and became a leading patron of the European traditionalist Catholic movement.
