From Booklist:
Hungarian prince and socialite Franz Hohenlohe has composed a royally engaging autobiography. His short chapters tell numerous fascinating stories, including playing king with other regal children and using chamber pots as crowns, retreating to summer cottages in the south of France when eastern European winters became unbearably cold, imprisonment in immigration camps stateside and conspiring with the FBI, and, later, serving as a GI in the U.S. Army. While in the army, Prince Franz used his charm and Oxford education to outwit the MPs and to enjoy wonderful dinners with the foreign elite (who were, on many occasions, old friends of the family). Franz calls attention to his book by naming famous people he has encountered, such as Marlene Dietrich, Jean Paul Getty, and William Randolph Hearst; but what is more interesting and appealing is his zest for life, which makes all his tales exciting. You don't have to be a royalty buff to find this an enjoyable, almost decadent episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. Lisa Orzepowski

Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. First Printing. 291 Pages Indexed. January 1995 Edition. Interior text pages are flawless. Illustrated with a modest selection of related photographs from the collection of the author. The worldwide travels and tribulations of Prince Franz Hohenlohe have brought him face-to-face with kings and commoners, the famous and infamous. Now this beloved raconteur offers us the most brilliant ensemble of stars and characters ever caught between the covers of a single book. More than a memoir, This book is packed with intimate and humorous true tales about the headline makers and personalities of our century. From the Aga Khan to Adolph Hitler; Marlene Dietrich to Jean Paul Getty; William Randolph Hearst to Marion Davies; Pola Negri to Rudolph Valentino; Mae West to Walter Winchell; J. Edgar Hoover to Zsa Zsa Gabor to Orson Welles and countless others! Prince Franz Hohenlohe has known, met or encountered them all -- potentates, Bolsheviks, high society, mavericks, movie stars, murderers. Franzi looks back to regale us with personal stories about the successes and foibles of these wild and wonderful movers and shakers. Here, too, is his own story: the European Prince who became incarcerated in an American internment camp during the frightening years of World War II- only to enlist in the US Army upon his release from captivity, and become The G.I. Prince. The tales Franzi tells upon himself and his regal family members and intimate friends are filled with the same delightful sense of humor and mischief as the stories he relates about others. If you already know Franzi, you'll want to read his newest book. And if you haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting Prince Franz Joseph Maximilian Rudolph Weriand Stephan Anton zu Hohenlohe Waldenburg Schillingsfurst, don't miss this golden opportunity.
