Former actress and socialite Zsa Zsa Gabor Anhalt passed away on Dec 18, 2016 from a heart attack, she was 99 yrs old. Zsa Zsa had been married 9 times with 7 divorces and 1 annulment under her belt. Zsa Zsa's only child, Constance Hilton passed away last year around this time she was 67 yrs old at the time of her death and had no issue. Zsa Zsa ( I just love saying that name) is survived by her 9th husband Prince Federick Prinz von Anhalt, whom she married on Aug 14, 1986. While they have no biological children, Federic and Zsa Zsa adopted 10 adult men who allegedly paid Federic $2 million dollars each to become German Princes. Rumor has it that at one point Zsa Zsa and Federick were almost broke because they lost $10 million dollars in that Bernie Madoff scheme. I remember one Thanksgiving, Federic drove Zsa Zsa's Rolls Royce to the local store and bought like 30 Turkeys to give away to the needy. Rumor also has it that Federic is really gay and Zsa Zsa was his beard. I saw some of the "sons" they adopted and I know some of them are gay. LOL
Federic's birth name is Hans Lictenberg. In 1980, at the age of 36, Lichtenberg was adopted as an adult by Princess Marie-Auguste of Anhalt (1898–1983), whose first husband was Prince Joachim of Prussia, son of German Emperor Wilhelm II.[1] Upon adoption, Lichtenberg's name became "Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt", although "Prinz" is part of the legal surname, and not a princely title. Since 1919, former royal and noble titles in Germany have been able to be registered as part of the legal surnames. Despite this, Anhalt styles himself "Prince Frédéric of Anhalt, Duke of Saxony and Westphalia, Count of Ascania". Some reports state that Anhalt claims to have been a childhood friend of Princess Marie Auguste's only child, Prince Karl Franz of Prussia (1916–1975), and that the grieving mother adopted him out of kindness, naming him "Prince" and "Duke of Saxony". However, British press reports indicate that Princess Marie Auguste was bankrupt and the adoption was a business transaction, allegedly masterminded by Hans Hermann Weyer, a former window dresser who became the honorary consul of Bolivia in Luxembourg.[2] Weyer was known for selling certificates of nobility, doctoral degrees from fictitious universities, and other spurious decorations in Germany in the 1960s.[3][4] Lichtenberg was one of about 35 adults adopted by the Princess, some then styling themselves Princes of Anhalt.[5]
Despite the adoption by Princess Marie-Auguste, a member of the ducal family of Anhalt (the House of Ascania), the website of the House of Ascania makes no mention of Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt.[6]
Rest in peace Zsa Zsa.
