I guess it worked for Woody Allen, so now everyone (including royalty) wants to hook up with their adopted daughters… but in this case, it sounds like Prince Frederick von Anhalt (husband of Zsa Zsa Gabor) had a decade-long affair with the late Anna Nicole Smith, and at one point considered adopting her to allow her to fulfill her dream of being a princess.
Geez!
From CNN.com:
…
Von Anhalt, who is Gabor’s eighth husband, said he and Smith first met in the 1990s when Smith was still married to elderly oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. He said Smith approached him and Gabor at the Plaza Hotel in New York.
“She was a very big fan of Zsa Zsa and wanted to be like Zsa Zsa,” he said. “She wanted to be a princess.”
He said the two started an affair soon after, meeting over the years in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. For much of that time, he said, Smith urged him to make her a princess like his wife.
But short of divorcing the actress, he said the only solution would have been adopting Smith. Von Anhalt said he did consider that and even filled out adoption papers, but Gabor refused to sign them.
