Royal Family News: Princess Michael of Kent Fights Forced Retirement

British royal family news reveals that colorful Princess Michael of Kent is so infamous in royal circles that she was given the nickname Princess Pushy. Who is the 77-year-old woman married to Prince Michael of Kent? She was born Marie-Christine von Reibnitz in Bohemia and the couple have known their share of controversy. Still, says one royal watcher, they likely have no intention of going quietly into the good night.

Princess Pushy Is Bold

According to the Daily Mail’s Richard Kay, the couple showed they are as vital as ever after recently throwing a big bash full of royals and aristocrats in the gardens at Kensington Palace for the prince’s 80th birthday. Kay, an old friend of Princess Diana’s wrote: “Will this most controversial of princesses and her prince now go quietly into retirement, or might there be yet another blaze of autumn sunshine?”

“Judging by Monday night’s lavish birthday party, don’t bet against it.”

And yet The Daily Telegraph indicated that the couple were ready to retire. Kay confirms that the report of their royal exit has not been corroborated by the royal pair.

Kay noted that while last month it was reported, “that the Kents were to retire from public life. Apart from guffaws and social media mockery questioning what exactly they were retiring from, there has, so far, been official silence.”

“There has been no announcement from the couple and nor has there been any change to the website Prince Michael, the Queen’s first cousin, operates.”

Of the lush summer party, Kay wrote: “Just in case anyone had any doubts, the sound of popping champagne corks said it all this week—nothing much has changed in the extravagant lives of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.”

Will Princess Michael Retire?

He added: “Of course, it may just have been coincidence, but some among the royal and aristocratic guests—they included Michael’s elder brother, the Duke of Kent, Chantal Hanover, ex-wife of Prince Ernst August, and the Marquess of Northampton’s former wife, Rosie—wondered if this display had some other significance.”

Princess Michael, was the daughter of a Nazi Waffen-SS officer, has had her name tied to controversies through the years, “including one in which she said she was more royal than the royal family.” By her own account, this bold and beautiful woman is a force to be reckoned with and will be for some time to come!
