If you are one of those queers who think they really are a royal queen, then a wee glimmer of hope opened up this week. No, Harry is still with Meghan, we are talking about the first member of European Royalty to ever come out.
Franz Bonaventura Adalbert Maria Herzog von Bayern known officially as Duke François of Bavaria (its the largest state in Germany) has announced he is gay. Now before you rush to Hermes to order some custom made lederhosen, you should also know that His Grace is 88 years already PLUS he has a long-term boyfriend Thomas Greinwald who is hardly a spring chicken himself
This very first official snapshot of the couple, taken in their home at Nymphenburg Palace in Munich which is one of the premier royal palaces of Europe shows the Duke seated on an armchair with rustic motifs, surrounded by drapes. Standing at his side, Thomas poses, leaning on his back. Even their outfits are coordinated, in green and brown hunting tones.”e.
The photo is the work of famed photographer Erwin Olaf and is part of a larger project he calls “Blue Bloods.” An exhibit of his photography is currently on view in Munich until September 26, 2021. Maybe they’ll include some younger unattached queer royals?
