The details of the princess’s gift and the justice’s travels emerged after Justice Alito listed a $900 gift of concert tickets on his annual financial disclosure form which was released late last week.

The disclosure has prompted a new round of scrutiny of the justices who have been in the spotlight after a series of revelations that some of them most notably Justice Clarence Thomas failed to report lavish gifts and travel from wealthy benefactors.

Justice Alito was the focus of a ProPublica report for failing to disclose a private jet flight paid for by a conservative billionaire who later had cases before the court.

The jet trip was part of a luxury salmon fishing vacation. Justice Alito in an opinion column in The Wall Street Journal before the article was published maintained that he did not have a conflict in accepting the hospitality and that he was not obligated to disclose the trip.

Justice Alito has also been the focus of attention in recent months after The Times revealed that provocative flags flew outside the Alitos’ properties.

Those included an upside down American flag that Trump loyalists had adopted to challenge President Biden’s 2020 electoral win flying outside the justice’s residence in the weeks after the Jan.

6 2021 attack on the Capitol. Last summer an Appeal to Heaven flag which had been carried by Jan.

6 rioters and is now a symbol for a more Christian minded government was on display at the justice’s beach house.

Princess Gloria who was once nicknamed Princess TNT for her explosive personality has in recent years courted controversy in both the United States and Europe as a central figure among traditionalist Roman Catholics opposed to Pope Francis.

Her 500 room Bavarian castle in Regensburg St. Emmeram Palace home to an annual music festival has also been floated by the longtime Trump ally Stephen K.Bannon as a potential Gladiator School for the theological and media training of traditionalist conservative Catholics hostile to Francis.

Princess Gloria did not respond to other questions posed to her including how long she has known the justice and his wife whether she paid for other parts of the Alitos’ travel including transportation and whether she has given the justice other gifts in the past.

Justice Alito did not respond to requests for comment. More details have emerged about the justice’s trip to the princess’s castle including an interview with him by Christian Eckl the editor in chief of a newspaper in Regensburg who recognized the justice from reporting in The Times about the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v.Wade. Justice Alito wrote the majority opinion in the case. In the 32 second video Justice Alito with a beard and wearing a dark pinstriped blazer spoke to an off camera interviewer.

The justice said the castle seen in the background was amazing and that he was looking forward to going to the Bayreuth Festival to see Wagner’s operas.

I will enjoy it Justice Alito said. A friend of mine has waited his whole life to get tickets to go and so it’s quite a privilege to be able to go.

Justice Alito did not say in the video which friend he was referring to and he did not disclose any additional names on his annual financial form.
