Nine far-right plotters accused of seeking to overthrow the German governmenty went on trial in Stuttgart today, including their leader, Heinrich XIII Prince Reuss. “In all, 27 people face charges, including high treason and belonging to a terror organization, but they will be tried in three separate courtrooms in different cities,” CNN reports. One of Prince Reuss’ relatives, Princess Henry XXXIII (pictured), moved into 740 Park, the storied New York City cooperative, in 1931. The former Allene Tew of Jamestown, New York, later divorced her German prince and married a Russian count. She and Count Kotzebue then moved to a larger 740 apartment, where she remained until 1957. Who else would tell you these things? Who else would even know them? The Tews, by the way, were Colonial American WASPs, and several of Allene’s forebears ran banks. But only she was colorful enough to fill many pages in one of my books.
