Based in London, she has been a style editor-at-large for Vogue magazine since 2012. In addition to writing about style, the arts and travel, she has authored a liturgical volume about faith and contributed a regular column to Vatican magazine. She is known professionally as Elisabeth von Thurn und Taxis, however is frequently referred to by her nickname, TNT.
Elisabeth was born on 24 March 1982 at the family palace, Schloss Thurn und Taxis, 500-room 8th-century abbey in Regensburg. She is the middle child of Johannes, 11th Prince of Thurn and Taxis (5 June 1926 – 14 December 1990) and Gloria Princess of Thurn and Taxis (née Gräfin von Schönburg-Glauchau). She has an older sister, Maria Theresia (born 28 November 1980), and a younger brother, Albert (born 24 June 1983), who succeeded their father in 1990.
The former German princely House of Thurn and Taxis is one of Germany's wealthiest and most prominent families. Her mother is the daughter of the late politician and journalist Joachim, Count of Schonburg-Glauchau, as well as the sister of author Alexander, Count of Schonburg-Glauchau, a nephew by marriage of Queen Elizabeth II.
During her childhood, Elisabeth and her siblings were frequent guests of Michael Jackson at his Neverland Ranch, visits she recalled in her blog after his sudden death in 2009. Describing Jackson as "excruciatingly shy," she defended his reputation, writing, "I couldn't imagine Michael hurting a fly, let alone a friend."
