00:00:00.000 England having the Commonwealth responsibilities, we are all in a deep crisis right now.
00:00:06.220 And we are all heavily praying that we are not going to have to end in a war.
00:00:15.740 I'm sure by now everyone has heard that Queen Elizabeth II has passed away after her 70-year reign.
00:00:23.860 Unbelievable.
00:00:24.780 We thought it would be interesting for you to hear from another royal on the subject.
00:00:29.840 Not so much a royal in England, but a royal known to all of you.
00:00:34.500 I'm talking about Princess Gloria von Thurnan-Taxas, the German princess whose dynasty of Thurnan-Taxas is still existing today.
00:00:46.160 Her son, Prince Albert, being the heir.
00:00:49.120 And we wanted to take her thoughts, opinion on what's going on on the death of the Queen, as well as the future of the monarchy and of England.
00:00:58.320 Stay tuned.
00:00:59.840 Just before we begin, let me remind you that LifeSite News has introduced us.
00:01:30.800 Applications for those are open.
00:01:32.600 Please come join us in this war for life, faith, family and freedom.
00:01:36.040 Do so at LifeSiteInterns.com.
00:01:40.480 Let's begin, as we always do, with the sign of the cross.
00:01:43.500 In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
00:01:48.460 Amen.
00:01:50.140 Princess Gloria, so good to be with you again.
00:01:52.500 Thank you for coming on.
00:01:54.040 Thank you very much for inviting me.
00:01:56.340 So we're here on a sad occasion on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
00:02:01.400 And while I know we're praying for her soul, I wanted to get your take, first of all, on the Queen.
00:02:09.260 Any personal knowledge you may have of her?
00:02:11.580 Of course, the Queen of England is a dear person to me.
00:02:15.440 I haven't known her personally, but I grew up with her because of her 70 years of reign.
00:02:20.960 And so she's very, very present to me.
00:02:25.060 Of course, she's the head of the Church of England, which is a Christian denomination, but she's not a Catholic.
00:02:31.040 We are not related.
00:02:32.940 My brother is married to her niece.
00:02:35.840 So, of course, we heard from the niece many times firsthand information, but we have a lot of sympathy for the Queen of England.
00:02:45.680 Because don't forget, the Queen of England is half German, and she was married to a German prince.
00:02:51.560 So also part of the, in some ways, part of the British crown.
00:02:57.760 Queen Elizabeth has had, first of all, one of the lengthiest reigns ever in the monarchy.
00:03:04.180 And at this juncture, you know, with England not knowing where it's going to go, the monarchy itself is in question.
00:03:11.800 I'd love to hear your take on the monarchy, not only in England, but in terms of the whole world.
00:03:18.060 Where are we at with monarchies, and where do you think we're going?
00:03:21.640 I think the monarchy in England is going to stay.
00:03:24.460 It is a sign of continuity.
00:03:27.540 Now we have King Charles, and then we have King William.
00:03:31.060 That's the great advantage of monarchies, that they represent continuity.
00:03:37.040 And so that's a very, very important thing, especially nowadays where things change so rapidly.
00:03:45.020 A monarchy is a garant for continuity.
00:03:48.580 We've had a lot of things happen under the reign of Queen Elizabeth.
00:03:52.180 She went basically all through from a more traditional society to a society that has rebelled against life, family, faith, culture.
00:04:01.500 Basically, it's lost on almost every frontier.
00:04:06.140 But the monarchy has had to sort of go along with that.
00:04:10.720 But there are other monarchs who chose not to.
00:04:14.520 I'd love to hear your take on that.
00:04:15.880 If you are a very holy person and you take the Christian faith personally and seriously, you can consider.
00:04:25.220 But I think this was not for the Queen of England.
00:04:30.220 The Queen of England thought the monarchy has to stay whatever it costs, whatever it takes. 1.00
00:04:36.540 And also don't forget that the Episcopals or the Church of England, they are much more liberal than we are.
00:04:43.820 The Catholic faith is much more thorough and much more strict, especially when it comes to life.
00:04:51.820 And we can also see, if we look at the foundation of the John Paul II Foundation of Life,
00:05:00.220 they are also trying to change things around.
00:05:02.440 So we have attacks on all fronts.
00:05:06.420 Queen Elizabeth and the English are much more liberal than we are.
00:05:10.040 We have to accept that.
00:05:12.200 This is a reality.
00:05:13.960 You come from a royal family and are in sort of royals in Germany, but not in the same way.
00:05:22.200 There is a sort of faction, if you will, or group of traditionalists who really do believe a monarchy would even be superior to the kind of democracy sometimes we have in the West that basically has led us down a path of unbelievable attacks on basically all of culture.
00:05:45.220 It seems to have destroyed culture.
00:05:47.800 What's your take on that?
00:05:48.840 The monarchy is the most natural society structure, and we can also see it in animal life.
00:05:56.180 Look at the wasps, the bees, the hornets, many, many animal population, the lions.
00:06:02.480 They have a very hierarchical organization.
00:06:08.920 It is not a very bad form.
00:06:10.820 We have abandoned this form since about, I would say, 150 to 200 years.
00:06:17.540 But it is not said that it is not coming back in the future, especially because of its continuity.
00:06:22.860 And we can see in China, for example, the president has chosen to be a president for all his life.
00:06:31.500 So you see, this is almost like a monarchy.
00:06:34.380 And a monarchy, of course, is when you inherit the throne or when the elite will vote for a new king.
00:06:42.620 But I mean, all these things can come back because the kingdom has been for thousands of years, thousand years, and now it's not.
00:06:51.040 But it's never said that it's not going to come back.
00:06:53.940 One of the scary things, and I think we'll end with this question.
00:06:57.160 It is very concerning from this perspective.
00:07:01.340 When you talk about the elites selecting a monarch or a leader, that very much sounds like what we're looking at right now with regard to not a national sovereignty, but an international sovereignty.
00:07:16.720 I'd like you to, if you could, make for us that distinction, because a lot of people right now could foresee, you know, elites of the world coming together and selecting a kind of one world leader.
00:07:30.440 But I don't think that's the kind of monarchy you're speaking about.
00:07:35.500 Just a quick note before we return.

00:07:57.940 And now, back to the video.
00:08:01.580 Absolutely not.
00:08:02.560 I am very much for national monarchy or national leader of any sorts, because I think that people need to have their family and their roots in order to preserve their identity.
00:08:17.120 I know that there is a goal of a lot of ideologists who think in the one world government, but this is not very practical, because it's against the nation.
00:08:30.560 People are structured in tribes, and one has to respect that, because it is stronger. 0.99
00:08:39.300 You can see it if you go to very mixed populations or very mixed societies.
00:08:44.480 For example, New York City or any city in Canada, the Chinese will live with the Chinese.
00:08:50.300 The Italians will live with the Italians. 1.00
00:08:52.300 The Africans, even the Africans separate very strongly.
00:08:56.240 The East Africans, the West Africans, the South Africans, the Arab society.
00:09:01.720 Everybody looks to find their relations, their relatives.
00:09:06.600 So even if we all live in one city, that's very much possible.
00:09:10.820 But there is a tendency that you like to go to live and spend time around the people of your own culture.
00:09:19.900 And that's just natural.
00:09:21.420 You cannot forbid that.
00:09:22.740 I mean, I like also all kinds of nations, and I feel very well.
00:09:29.520 I speak seven languages, and I love the different cultures.
00:09:33.640 But I think it has to be a natural thing, and people have to be able to choose for themselves
00:09:39.180 and not be forced by any government authorities.
00:09:43.000 And what would your final thoughts be with regard to Queen Elizabeth, with regard to the monarchy,
00:09:47.800 with regard to where England might go in the future?
00:09:52.220 Well, it depends very much on where we all go, because, of course, you cannot look at England separately,
00:09:58.500 because England being a part of Europe, England having the Commonwealth responsibilities,
00:10:06.040 we are all in a deep crisis right now.
00:10:09.140 And we are all heavily praying that we are not going to have to end in a war.
00:10:16.640 So my first thoughts are that maybe Queen Elizabeth can, now that she goes to heaven,
00:10:23.900 we hope for her to go to heaven, that she can pray at the throne of our Lord, the Creator, God,
00:10:30.720 that she can pray for peace in the world, because she has seen in what a volatile situation the world is.
00:10:38.280 And I'm sure she's a peace lover.
00:10:39.960 She's seen World War II, the aftermath of World War II.
00:10:44.240 So she knows what many generations now don't know anymore, what misery really is.
00:10:50.280 The Queen has lived misery. 1.00
00:10:51.680 And therefore, my hope is that she now, that she is at the throne, and with Our Lady, all the angels and saints,
00:11:00.020 that she will put in a good world, so that the crisis and the world horrors will end,
00:11:06.220 and that we come back to a peaceful living together, like we had only 10 years ago.
